Ketchum Hotels

Ketchum is an old western town that doesn’t feel resortified, yet it’s definitely been gentrified. Some of the Ketchum hotels are rather deluxe and there are also very affordable Sun Valley hotel options. For those without a car, proximity to one of the bus stops for access to the ski resort is a huge bonus.

Pros: lovely genuine ski town vibe; good range of restaurants, bars and shops; closer to Bald Mountain than Sun Valley Resort Village; lodging for a wider range of budgets.
