Sundance Mountain Resort
Sundance (near Provo), Utah, United States · Independent · High Luxury
Robert Redford bought the old Timp Haven ski hill in 1969 and built Sundance Mountain Resort at the foot of Mount Timpanogos: art studios, the Tree Room, a spa in the pines, and 156 rooms. The Sundance Institute and the film festival grew from this canyon. In December 2020 he sold the resort to Broadreach and Cedar Capital so the place would outlast him, and Michelin gave the house One Key in 2026.
