Hotels in Sun Valley

Sun Valley and Ketchum are so beautiful. There is always plenty to do there and the scenery is breathtaking. There are a wide range of outdoor activities to enjoy. The shops and restaurants are great too.

We lived in Idaho for 10 years before visiting--and feel we should have been there years ago! The beauty of the drive from Challis to Ketchum was beyond belief. We had a great time going on the gondola and chair lift to the top of the ski hill--the view was beyond description. Excellent restaurants and pleasant people seemed to abound. We can hardly wait to return and spend more time.

Is it important to you to be entirely encased in granite and marble while using the bathroom at a ski resort? Do you appreciate giant chandeliers hung in enormous log-cabin style lodges? Then come to Sun Valley! We came for the skiing, not the fancy, but found ourselves enjoying it all. Despite the opulence the resort has a laid back vibe, and the town of Ketchum is filled with friendly folks - you can tell it is a real community. We'd return.

What a gem! Sun Valley hasn’t changed much since I was there 40 years ago and yet you realize you are surrounded by history and luxury without feeling like you don’t belong. Just another ski town really, but with touches of history and the scenery is indescribable. The skiing is top notch and the lodges are beautiful. The town center has plenty to see and do as far as shopping and eating are concerned. Just remember that most restaurants don’t have a liquor license in town of Ketchum. You can get beer and wine but no hard liquor. Sun Valley restaurants all have a liquor license so just figure that out for dinner if it means anything to you (it did for our group, many of whom don’t drink beer or wine). Great restaurants in both towns. Enjoy all that being outdoors means, skiing, xc, hiking, biking etc. so beautiful!

Skiing, skiing, skiing on long groomed runs. We were fortunate to be there on best snow days all season. I come every year and never disappointed. We used the bus from Elk Horn to River Run. They have cubbies to store gear so you don’t have to wear your ski boots.

Sun Valley is a wonderful place. We have visited numerous times, but always in the Inn. We enjoyed trying a new place and new restaurants. Breakfast at Christina's was excellent. We will return.
