Slopeside all-suite lodge
The lodge runs like a quiet apartment building, letting you come in from the slopes to an entirely self-paced stay.
“The Sundial, a boutique hotel that sits right in the heart of the village, is extremely close to the lifts and everything else you could need.”
What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
a small and stylish all-suite property, offering the sort of personalized service that is unheard of in the average big-business ski lodge.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Village Square spreads out from the doors, where lively après-ski patios buzz by afternoon and pedestrian paths stay car-free.

The rooms
Every suite has a full kitchen and a gas fireplace, with heated slate floors to warm cold feet after skiing.
The hot tubs
An eighth-floor rooftop hot tub looks out across the peaks, and eight suites have their own bubbling balcony tubs.
At the table
The lobby serves morning pastries and hot chocolate. Downstairs, Black's Pub pours craft beer on its lively village patio.
With just 49 suites, it’s one of the smaller properties in town, but the rooms themselves are generously sized and include full kitchens, dining and sitting areas, and gas fireplaces.
How it began
The building began as the modest Westbrook Hotel before a 2003 gut renovation rebuilt it with local Huckleberry basalt stone.
