Where to Stay
1. Sun Valley Lodge and Inn – Both located in the heart of the Sun Valley Resort Village. Each property has undergone complete remodels within the past five years. The Lodge and Inn still maintain their connection to the long history of Sun Valley while now offering modern accommodations in one of the top mountain towns in the world.
2. Limelight Hotel – Brand new accommodations located on Main Street. At the Limelight, we've always seen après ski as more than just a "happy hour." Gathering with friends and celebrating a day on the slopes builds community, and we're carrying on with that tradition at the new Limelight Hotel Ketchum.
3. Hotel Ketchum – A new take on a Main Street location. Hotel Ketchum is the area’s first and newest boutique hotel opening up it’s doors to guests last winter. Modern and fresh rooms welcome guests.
