Main Street energy, lodge-style comfort

The Limelight Hotel Ketchum keeps things easy with a come-as-you-are vibe and a cozy, lodge-like look, right down to the light-filled lobby and roaring fireplace. The Lounge is the social hub for cocktails, shared bites, and live music, giving the place its buzzy but unfussy rhythm. Outside, the year-round heated pool and two hot tubs set the scene with direct mountain views.

We had an amazing stay at the Limelight Hotel in Ketchum! Everything about the experience was five-star from start to finish. The staff truly made the trip memorable—Rick the bartender was fantastic and made the bar such a fun place to hang out, Juan went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, and the housekeeping team kept the room spotless and welcoming every day. Incredible service, great atmosphere, and an overall outstanding stay. We can’t wait to come back!

Fantastic place to stay while skiing at Sun Valley! Great breakfast, fun lounge, convenient location and terrific staff. This is one of few resorts where I'd prefer to be in town instead of at a ski in/ski out property. You're 5 minutes from the mountain, and the staff at the Limelight is very accomodating and will happily drive you to the resort and drop you off and pick you up as needed. The airport pickup was also greatly appreciated, and all the drivers went above and beyond. Great location across from a grocery and there are ten fabulous restaurants in walking distance for dinner on the town. Overall it was an awesome stay and we shall return!

6/10 Good

Rooms need to be updated especially for the nightly price! Sink was Broke and Taped back together it was an average hotel room like holiday inn when I paid extra for more.. the view was good and breakfast was the best part, needs Ambiance and updating! the bar area looks like an upscale cafeteria - I expected more for spending $1800+ to stay for 3 nights - will not stay again, because there are other options in town for less that are better. just being honest, sorry, i will not write a bad review, i was just disappointed, as I had always wanted to stay there but it was not worth the price charged!
