The Overlook Hotel (“The Shining”)
Where it’s at: The Stanley Hotel, Estes Park, Colorado
While 1980’s “The Shining” used a hotel in Mount Hood, Oregon, for its exterior shots, it’s really the Stanley Hotel that everyone pictures when they think of the film. That’s because it’s the Stanley that was Stephen King’s inspiration for the novel. It was also used in the 1997 miniseries adaptation, but let’s just all agree to forget that one happened.
