SCOUT REVIEW
Limelight Hotel Ketchum brings a fresh, modern energy to the legendary Sun Valley ski scene. A sister property to the well-loved Limelight Hotels in Aspen and Snowmass, it blends mountain-chic style with the casual sophistication Sun Valley is known for. The atmosphere is lively yet laid-back—perfect for travelers who enjoy a social, community-oriented stay.
The hotel’s heart is the Limelight Lounge, where guests gather for après-ski drinks, live music, and locally inspired meals. It’s a fun hub for swapping ski stories over wood-fired pizza and craft beer. The open, airy lobby doubles as a comfortable work or lounge space, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering mountain views.
Rooms are spacious and functional, featuring plush beds, gas fireplaces, and modern mountain décor. Many have balconies or patios, and families will appreciate the option of suites and connecting rooms. For skiers, the convenience factor is excellent: the hotel runs a complimentary shuttle to both the River Run base area and the Sun Valley Nordic Center, and there’s a dedicated ski storage and tuning area onsite.
Other amenities include a heated outdoor pool, two hot tubs, a well-equipped fitness room, and complimentary daily breakfast. Sustainability is also a focus here—expect refillable water stations, energy-efficient lighting, and eco-friendly materials throughout.
Overall, Limelight Hotel Ketchum is one of the best choices in Sun Valley for travelers wanting upscale comfort, social energy, and easy mountain access.
