Not exactly - relative to The Shining.
Many people think "The Shining" movie was filmed at the Stanley Hotel but it was actually shot at the Timberline Lodge up on Mount Hood in Oregon. And also in Britain as mentioned.
The latter TV series - some say Stephen King was not happy about the movie - was indeed shot at the Stanley. We lived there then and it was an interesting experience witnessing that. We met Stephen King and have two personally autographed copies of the book by him. We met and chatted with the co stars - Steven Weber and Rebecca De Mornay - at a local favorite coffee shop. I was accepted as an extra but found it it meant like 6 days of be there at 4am and you would leave around 8-9pm for like 5-6 days in a row. But I would be one of the people in the scene where it was all people with masks and costumes so no one would ever see if was me. I backed off.
I think Ken stated it right as to being an inspiration.
