Travel & Stay

For accommodations within walking distance of all conference activities, contact the Sun Valley Resort at 800-786-8259 and mention that you will be attending the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference.

With the popularity of the Writers’ Conference, the availability of rooms at the Sun Valley Resort is limited. We recommend booking your 2020 accommodations as early as possible. Occasionally more rooms open up closer to the Conference, around early June.

There are also many other options for lodging in Ketchum, all within a short distance to the Resort. Be sure and book early.

*Please inquire with individual hotels about special SVWC discounts.
