Observatory Viceroy

Virtuoso Preview was created especially for an extremely limited number of qualified pre-opening (or re-opening) properties to position them among the world's best. Member Advisors can look forward to pre-opening series of information and updates, member training, on-property contacts and, preferred rates and exclusive benefits and amenities.

The Observatory, A Viceroy Resort will offer 73 guest rooms and 12 single-level penthouse residences, all with sweeping views of Idaho’s Rocky Mountains. Guests and owners will enjoy an elevated level of personalized service and an extensive amenity suite, including a full-service spa, fitness center, an indoor thermal pool, cold plunge, sauna, and steam rooms. A state-of-the-art rooftop observatory and outdoor terrace bar will provide unobstructed access to the Central Idaho Dark Sky Reserve, the first designated preserve of its kind in the U.S. and one of only 12 globally.

Envisioned as a gathering place for both guests and locals, a curated food and beverage program will feature a variety of distinct concepts including a restaurant, bar, café and ski concierge, seasonal terrace bar, and meeting spaces. Throughout all concepts, strong partnerships with local purveyors, including ranchers, fisherman, and farmers aim to celebrate the region’s highest quality Idaho-sourced ingredients.

The world-class design team includes John Davis of Hornberger+Worstell, Mark de Reus and Chris Strahle of de Reus Architects, and Fatima Silva of FDG Design Group–a collaboration deeply attuned to the regional aesthetic of the Wood River Valley.

Through Viceroy’s distinct lens on modern hospitality, The Observatory Sun Valley, A Viceroy Resort promises an immersive, authentic experience to its guests and local community in one of the country’s most storied year-round mountain destinations.
