Hotel's Exterior

The Hotel’s Exterior

We see the hotel at the end of the Credits- expansive but still dwarfed by the mountains that continue behind it. Different nations flags fly in front of it.

The spaces shown around it are The Hedge Maze, and roughly the same spot of outside - whether we’re seeing Wendy and Danny run into The Hedge Maze (No.26), or have a snowball fight (No.33), or Halloran walking into The Hotel, or Jack chasing Danny into The Hedge Maze— this is all the same location.

It’s intriguing that the internal space of The Overlook is so vast and empty feeling, but the outside is treated as small, centrally located hub.

In this image · No.21

No.21 pairs directly with No.28: the same hotel exterior appears at dawn and dusk. The establishing shots in No.4, No.28, No.35, No.43, and No.68 connect place, changing light, weather, and isolation.
