Limelight Hotel

The Limelight Hotel in Ketchum is possibly the best hotel experience I’ve ever had. My family and I recently traveled to ski at Sun Valley and everything about Limelight is top class. It’s less than a 5 minute drive to the slopes of Dollar or Bald Mountain. The restaurant is excellent. The rooms are pristine. We plan on visiting Sun Valley for years to come and I cannot imagine staying anywhere other than Limelight!

Everything about the Limelight is wonderful. Architecture, service, staff, food, rooms, cleanliness, etc. Gorgeous room! They had ice cold beer waiting in my room because it was my birthday. They had asked my wife if I liked anything special. Nice touch!
Loved every minute. Gorgeous lobby and hot tubs too!
They also have a huge locals discount for Idaho residents.

Where else can you find immaculate rooms with stunning views, a great bartender (thanks Robb!), an incredibly helpful staff (who gave us much better recommendations to see the stars than the tourist center!), plus friendly locals and guests' dogs to pet and underground parking? I don't think I have ever stayed in a place in the U.S. that can compare. Loved everything about this place. Sorry I had to go home.

This place shines! It is beautiful inside and out. The service was spectacular from housekeeping to the front desk, to the hotel bar. I wish I took more pictures of it but I guess I was distracted by the good time I was having! (The picture is the view from our room! Incredible) Worth every penny!

This might be our favorite hotel we’ve ever stayed at!
Excellent service, comfy beds, clean and spacious rooms, and the best hotel breakfast spread I’ve ever seen!
The pool is very heated so we could still enjoy swimming in late November. We loved our stay here and would definitely come back.

My first time staying at the Limelight last night I was there for the Tower of Power concert across the street all I can say is this place was phenomenal! I have stayed at Four Seasons Resorts all over the world congratulations to the Limelight staff investors management my room was amazing The View was fantastic the staff was incredible dinner was fantastic I brought a couple of my own bottles of wine from home in Boise they allowed me to share them with my friends in the band without charging me a corking fee wonderful people can't wait to come back!

I ended up staying here for the first time after I showed up across the street (had a reservation) only to discover there was no night staff to check me in. So I walked across the street where Gerald was able to get me setup with a room for the night! This place is way nicer than across the street, the service is better, and they had night staff!

For real, Gerald was awesome and deserves a raise.

It’s the perfect location, near all the restaurants and shopping! The hotel offers excellent food, extremely comfortable beds, slept so soundly!! Will definitely come here on our next visit!

A clean and open feeling greets you, as you enter the lobby, with very high ceilings and large window-walls facing out to the west, towards the view of Baldy Mountain.

The room was clean, spacious evenly decorated between cozy, and just enough design elements to be interesting and present a boost of visual stimulation.

The beds, pillows and sheets are high quality and comfortable, a good night's sleep is pretty close to guaranteed from those alone!

The temperature is quickly settable, and the air quality and humidity remain consistent which is great for sensitive sinuses (and to compensate for the altitude)

The bathrooms and showers are accommodating with good light control and excellent water streams in the shower for that much-needed-after-travel-shower!

You can throw on one of the luxurious sewn robes and head downstairs to the pool area in summer or winter and relax in the hot tub or very clean pool.

The concierge and front desk staff are friendly, accommodating, bright-eyed and helpful! They will give you good advice and make great recommendations for you!

The kitchen has food that is a great combination of familiar and interesting new flavors of dishes. And there's a flame oven downstairs for an excellent crispy-crust personal, or family-sized pizza pie with a large variety of tasty topping combos!

The bar has beer on tap that has been selected for uniqueness and flavor options and your bartender will be able to make your favorite cocktails to order as well.

You will be in the heart of downtown, close to all the shopping and ski-lifts, and have walking-distance access to most of the main restaurants, nightclubs and watering holes that the local area has to offer for your enjoyment!

First visit to Ketchum but it will not be the last!
The Limelight is perfectly located for walkability to everything. If you don’t want to walk, they have a shuttle around town and also to/from the airport.
The rooms are well designed, modern and offer tons of storage, a kitchenette, the best mattress!, wonderful deep tubs, excellent lighting and all have views of mountains. Many have outdoor spaces and some with fireplaces.

Fresh Breakfast is included and it rotates daily. High quality ingredients and multiple offerings. They use Lavazzo coffee (my fav!).

There is a nightly happy hour and dinner indoors and out, as well as room service. Everything we tried was really good. The wine list is extensive. There is also live music most nights.

There is a gym, pool and hot tubs. Great meeting spaces and many areas to work while you are enjoying Sun Valley.

The best attribute is the wonderful staff! Everyone is happy, amazingly kind and helpful.

I stayed an extra 4 nights though I had an offer to stay at a friends.

I didn’t not have one complaint and I am picky.

I will return for an even longer stay. Limelight was just perfect!

We were just there last week with a ski club group of about 40+. EVERYTHING was A+, especially the service. Everyone from the shuttle drivers, front desk personnel, bar tenders, dining room servers, house keeping, etc. were very pleasant and helpful. Not one bad interaction/experience all week. As a group leader, it's nice to here nothing but accolades about the property we chose.
The rooms and facilities (pool, hot tubs, Fitness center, ski room, etc.) were all excellent. We're looking forward to a future stay at one of their other properties.
And the location was also prime!

I think this is the best hotel in Ketchum. We like staying here when the prices aren’t skyrocketed like they were the other night. It’s kind of weird that they were so high because we actually stopped by and nobody was there anyway, the hotels awesome we like working in the lobby, great Internet. They also have a restaurant to serve appetizers and drinks. Lots of furniture to sit in great hotel for working him while out of town.

Spa/pool is iffy, dirty, scratchy, do not use. Service and rooms and location and food are excellent. Dog friendly.

WE LOVE THIS DOG FRIENDLY HOTEL!!! Situated downtown close to everything! Even their restaurant is dog friendly! The front desk associate had dog beds and dog bowls sent up to our room.
We were able to grab dinner and drinks right after we arrived. Both of our dogs felt very relaxed and at home both in our room and throughout the entire hotel!!! Thank you Limelight hotel!! We will be back soon!!

A wonderful place to stay, especially for skiers. Nice rooms. Great staff and service. Quick ski shuttle service. Wonderful hot tubs at the right temperature and a heated pool for apres le ski and a nice bar area! The best place to stay if you are skiing!!!

Great stay at Ketchum. Amenities are really good gym, hot tub, great bar with 4 to 6 pm happy hour daily. Delicious pizzas and complementary breakfast were delicious as well. The hotel even has complementary Audis for rent. Also has shuttle from and to dollar mountain and baldy ski lodges.

Very friendly place to meet people from all over the world, and place where you can bring your dog,great food, great bar..and great people meeting place..highly recommend it!!

This was one of our favorite hotel experiences. The staff was amazing. We went during Covid and the rooms had big tables to eat at, silverware and dishes. The hotel has 2 fabulous hot tubs and a heated pool. The hotel has 2 Audis that you can take out at no cost for 2 hours- our room had giant windows that overlooked the town and the mountains. The included breakfast was fabulous- they required masks and vaccinations which we loved

Great rooms & food, friendly and helpful staff.
