In real life, the Salish Lodge and Spa is located a half-hour from Seattle in Snoqualmie, Washington. The rooms are spacious and gorgeously appointed with gas fireplaces, large bathrooms, luxurious linens, and gorgeous views. Its dining room is famous for showcasing local, seasonal ingredients. They even offer a Twin Peaks package!
At the time, The Timberline Lodge worried that no guests would be willing to stay in room 217, which was depicted as haunted in the book, so they asked Kubrick to change the room number in the movie. A non-existent room, number 237, was used instead. Ironically, 217 is the most requested room in the hotel. In addition to the connection with The Shining, guests love coming to The Timberline Lodge to enjoy gourmet food and activities like hiking, mountain climbing, and year-round skiing.
