This is clearly just pretentious over-analysis by english majors.

As far as the film goes... it wasn't that interesting to me, but it did make me go fish out my Shining DVD to watch later.

It's obvious that Kubrick deliberately made the hotel confusing to unnerve the movie viewer and make them feel lost in the huge scale of the sets. The exterior was based on the Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood and The interior was loosely based on the Awhanee Hotel in Yosemite Park, but the maze never existed in real life. Make no mistake all the non-aerial shots were filmed at Elstree Studios. My cousin visited the Awhanee Hotel and was rather creeped out by it`s similarities.
