Historic Sun Valley Inn Renovation In Progress

After the highly successful and complete renovation of the Sun Valley Lodge, which reopened in June 2015, Sun Valley Resort continues upgrading the resort with updates to the Sun Valley Inn, The Ram, The Ram Bar, and the new Village Station. The remodel is being done with the goal of enhancing and improving the guest experience through modern renovations, attention to detail, and a refreshed look and feel at America’s first destination ski resort.

Remodeling of the Sun Valley Inn guestrooms began this fall with the first 25 of the 105 of them undergoing renovations, with the remaining 80 scheduled for the Fall of 2018. New furnishings and amenities, combined with some existing features, will retain the classic ambiance of the historic hotel. Some of the rooms are being connected to make expanded guest suites, meeting the needs of today’s sophisticated traveler and what guests have come to expect from Sun Valley Resort. Once completed, the inn will have 98 guestrooms.

Local architectural firm, Ruscitto, Latham, Blanton, is leading the Sun Valley Inn project. Three Dimensional Services is the design firm for The Ram, The Ram Bar, and new Village Station.

The Ram renovation began in early September and is scheduled for completion in late December. The traditional atmosphere guests have enjoyed over the years will be retained, while a new exhibition kitchen takes center stage. The menu will still be upscale, with nightly specials at an affordable price. Once revamped, The Ram Bar will have wooden floors, a new fireplace, more seating, and large screen televisions.

A new addition to the Sun Valley dining experience is Village Station, opening in mid-December. The décor and theme give the nod to the train era of Sun Valley and its Union-Pacific roots. A full-service bar, craft beers on tap, and a menu of pizza, pasta, sandwiches, burgers, and entrees, will provide an ideal place to watch the game or visit with friends in a casual and inviting atmosphere.

Sun Valley Resort is open during the renovation projects, with plenty of activities and specials happening now through November 21. The perfect way to explore Sun Valley and all the beautiful fall colors is to book the Staycation Package. Guests can relax by the year-round outdoor heated pool, take a dip in the outdoor hot tub, workout in the fitness center or explore the 20,000-square-foot Spa – all within walking distance in the Sun Valley Village.
