LA: STANLEY KUBRICK EXHIBITION
The overlook hotel was a composite of actual locations and sets. Art director Roy Walker toured the US photographing its great lodges for Kubrick, who wanted the hotel to be a real character, as real as those made of flesh and blood. The red lavatory was copied from the St Biltmore hotel in Phoenix, designed by Frank lloyd Wright. The sprawling interior. Sets. Took over all of Elstree Studios.
