To give it the correct title, the hotel is the National Historic Timberline Lodge, but you get the drift.

The opportunity is being made available by the guys at On Set Cinema, who love to do this kind of thing. What is even better is that besides watching the film, you’ll have the opportunity to stay the night in the hotel, if you dare!

‘The Shining” is a cult horror classic
