    We booked the Sun Valley Inn over Mother’s Day weekend. We got a call a few days before our trip that we had gotten an upgrade to the Sun Valley Lodge. It was absolutely incredible, we felt like we didn’t belong there, it was so fancy lol. It was our first trip to Sun Valley, and we are blown away by the beauty. The lodge was incredibly accommodating to us with our E bikes, storing them and even charging them for us.

    Do not get a room next to a door, you will never sleep!

    Summer at the Sun Valley Resort is almost magical. My daughter and I traveled from the East Coast to see the Sun Valley on Ice show, particularly to see Ilia Malinin who was the featured guest skater that weekend, We both had a wonderful time at the show and also enjoyed the selection of dining experiences, the beautiful ambiance, and simply relaxing by the pool. We stayed at the Inn because there was no availability at the Lodge when I made the reservation almost three months beforehand. The accommodation was comfortable, although the walk to our room from the single elevator was surprisingly long, involving multiple hallways. Other than that, it was a lovely experience. July 2026

    What a fun discovery when we missed our flight! We originally stayed in Stanley for the week and had to stay a night in Sun Valley, we absolutely loved this place! So many amenities, great for families, we are planning our next trip here!

    Meals are expensive.

    The ac was noisy and the bed was sagging. Both pools are enclosed, I felt like being in an aquarium. I expected better, I didn’t realize there was a difference between the lodge and the inn.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    We liked everything about this resort. Staff were great, rooms were clean, and comfortable. Loved the restaurants in the lodge and villiage. Being able to use the free bus to get around was nice also. We'd definitely return and stay here in the future.

    With sprawling green pastures, the drive is spectacular in late April. With snow melting off the majestic Bald Mountains, our stay at the Sun Valley Lodge was delightful and relaxing. Family-owned, the Sun Valley Lodge is the gold standard for warm hospitality, timeless elegance, and service excellence. Upscale modern pairs with traditional cowboy in every impeccable detail of architecture. The spacious living room, comfortable king bed, and well-designed bathroom made our stay in a king suite special. The piano player at the wood-paneled Duchin Lounge made our celebration dinner fun by playing tunes on request. Amos at the front desk and restaurant staff where we dined (intimate Gretchen’s and Austrian-inspired Konditore) went the extra mile to make our stay unforgettable. We were thrilled to discover Burns Cowboy Shop in the Village, a two-minute walk from the Lodge. Burns is a family-owned boutique specializing in made in America, custom hand-crafted western boots & hats for women and men. Jake, the store manager, patiently answered our many questions as he thoughtfully designed his and her boots that we would enjoy for many years. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our Sun Valley stay and can’t wait to return.

    What a perfect place to spend some time!!

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Food and drinks at lodge was 3 out of 5. We had a mouse in our room and staff frequently forgot orders. This was my third time staying and found this to be off base for how they typically operate. Hopefully in future it’s better.

    Loved our stay at The Sun Valley Lodge. Only downside I would say is they do not extend or offer late checkout for even 30 minutes. I would think at a place this nice where people are expecting at least that for what they’re paying for, they would be able to do it. That is the only bad thing I would say.
