2008 Annual UMD Laserfiche User Conference - Hotel & Transportation

Hotel Information - Sun Valley Resort

Sun Valley’s second Christmas season was celebrated by the opening of the Challenger Inn in 1937. Renamed the Sun Valley Inn in the early Seventies, Sun Valley’s second hotel was inspired by the movie set for Paramount’s “I Met Him In Paris,” filmed near the resort in 1937.

Today, the hotel provides 109 rooms and the resort’s new state of the art Convention Center. Guest rooms are newly remodeled with elaborate and gracious décor appointed with the very finest European fabrics, carpeting and ornate wall coverings. Dining opportunities at the Inn include the historic Ram restaurant, the new Lobby Lounge serving light fare and cocktails and the family friendly Bald Mountain Pizza and Pasta. An exercise room adjoins the outdoor glass-enclosed swimming pool.
