Utah’s Sundance Mountain Resort has unveiled the Inn at Sundance Mountain Resort, a new ski-in/ski-out retreat located at the base of the Outlaw Express lift. The 63-room hotel builds on the legacy of the resort’s founder, Robert Redford.
Realized by Bull Stockwell Allen, the new-build property comprises two distinct wings connected by a footbridge spanning the North Fork Provo River, with Mount Timpanogos rising beyond.
Interiors by Fettle draw from the layered history of the land, weaving together subtle references to Native heritage, Scottish settlers, and the rustic spirit of the 1970s and ’80s, when Redford was most actively shaping the resort.
Redford’s guiding design principles remain foundational: respecting the natural topography, ensuring construction never rises above the tree line, and preserving uninterrupted sightlines to Timp.
Layering at the Inn at Sundance Mountain Resort
Guests arrive to a reception area defined by a tartan-clad desk and a stone fireplace, where reclaimed timber flooring, exposed ceiling beams, and leather stitch details are married with custom furnishings, lighting, and curated vintage pieces.
Guestrooms extend the narrative with views of streams, ridgelines, and surrounding peaks. Accommodations—ranging from king rooms to one-bedroom suites—feature ultrasuede-clad walls, patterned daybeds, and expansive windows that frame the alpine landscape. Wellness-forward touches, including a calming lighting scheme curated by the resort’s PhD sleep expert, prioritize restorative comfort.
Cozy spaces and an art gallery
Communal spaces center on the Living Room, a residential-style lounge that blends communal and private dining areas with a cozy wood-burning fireplace nook beneath a concentric tree-ring ceiling mural by local artist Izzi Ballstaedt. A wraparound deck further blurs the line between indoors and out, encouraging guests to linger and connect with the mountain setting.
The Inn also boasts a dedicated gallery with rotating exhibitions from local and international artists. Its inaugural show, “Watercolour Diaries from the Green River,” features works by British artist Tony Foster documenting his journeys along the nearby waterway.
Elsewhere, a thoughtfully assembled cabinet of curiosities displays memorabilia tied to Redford’s life and inspirations, from film references to ancient fish fossils discovered in the region.
