<P> Having chosen King 's novel as a basis for his next project , and after a pre-production phase , Kubrick had sets constructed on soundstages at EMI Elstree Studios in Borehamwood , Hertfordshire , Britain . Some of the interior designs of the Overlook Hotel set were based on those of the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite National Park . To enable him to shoot the scenes in chronological order , he used several stages at EMI Elstree Studios in order to make all sets available during the complete duration of production . The set for the Overlook Hotel was at the time the largest ever built at Elstree , including a life - size re-creation of the exterior of the hotel . In February 1979 , the set at Elstree was badly damaged in a fire , causing a delay in the production . </P>
