Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. has converted the Mountain Valley Lodge in Hailey, Idaho, into a Hampton by Hilton Hailey Sun Valley. The property closed for renovation on February 16, 2026, and the conversion is expected to finish in the spring, after which the hotel will reopen as a fully renovated upper‑midscale property.
The rebranding brings the hotel into Hilton’s global distribution network and Hilton Honors loyalty program, positioning it to serve the Wood River Valley region and provide travelers with convenient access to Sun Valley Resort and Friedman Memorial Airport. The renovation will update the lodge’s rooms, public spaces, and amenities, including a new indoor pool and fitness center, while preserving the lodge’s local character.
The conversion aligns with Hilton’s broader strategy to expand the Hampton by Hilton brand, which focuses on consistent, value‑oriented upper‑midscale offerings. The Wood River Valley is a key tourism destination, and the upgraded property is expected to support local economic activity by attracting visitors to the region’s outdoor recreation and hospitality market.
The Mountain Valley Lodge, which was previously known as AmericInn, was rebranded in May 2023 to better reflect the local culture. The new Hampton by Hilton designation will enhance the property’s visibility and appeal to travelers seeking a reliable, midscale experience in a popular ski and outdoor recreation destination.
