Summit Hotel:
In Big Sky, we don’t escape from the elements when we go indoors, we bring them with us—from views of the surrounding peaks out every window to the art adorning the walls inspired by the same feeling. The pinnacle of Big Sky lodging, the Summit Hotel, channels the grandeur of Lone Peak. From the elevated-by-the-elements polish of its lobby to the alluring details that infuse its on-mountain rooms and inspired dining options, the Summit signs every detail with an alpine air.
*The above rate is based on single/double occupancy. There is an extra charge of $10 per person per night, staying in the room.
Additional Fees & Taxes:
The above lodging rates do not include tax and service fees. The current total is twenty two percent(22.8%) tax and service fees on accommodations.
