The Summit Hotel

One really can't ask for much more than you get here. Beautiful on every level. Very nice room with a full kitchen, fire place, and of course a gorgeous view. Some complain about the Murphy bed. It is somewhat inconvenient, but I found it very comfortable. Beautiful bathroom with walk in. Spa/workout facility was outstanding. Everybody very friendly. Can't wait to go back!

We spent five nights at the Big Sky Summit Hotel and were genuinely disappointed by the experience—especially given the resort branding and premium pricing.||Misleading Room Setup|The Queen Studio was not as advertised. There was no mention or photo indicating the bed was a Murphy bed, which folded down flush against the couch. One person had to climb over the other to exit the bed—an awkward and potentially unsafe setup. There was no dresser, no space for suitcases, and we had to move a heavy coffee table just to access the bed. The small kitchenette had no room for four chairs, nor space elsewhere to place them. It’s hard to imagine four people staying in this room comfortably.||Housekeeping Intrusions|On our first afternoon—after traveling since 5AM—we were resting when a housekeeper entered and persistently asked if we needed towels, despite it being clear we were asleep. The next day, even with a “Do Not Disturb” tag on the door, another housekeeper walked in. He apologized, but it was unsettling.||Constant Noise|Our room was across from the housekeeping closet, so we heard constant door slams. On the other side, the elevator whirred nonstop. We were also awoken at 6AM by what sounded like someone entering our room—it turned out to be the neighboring guest closing their bathroom door. Once their shower started, it sounded like a water feature inside our room. Later, a woman used her phone on speaker, and it genuinely sounded like she was standing next to our bed. The lack of soundproofing is astonishing.||Restaurant Service|We ate breakfast twice at the L2 restaurant. Both times, the restaurant was nearly empty, yet service was extremely slow. One meal took 45 minutes to arrive and included dry pancakes, decent eggs, and a good yogurt parfait. The food was underwhelming, and the wait times were unacceptable.||Final Thoughts|This stay was deeply disappointing—not just for the misleading room setup, but for the lack of privacy, comfort, and basic hospitality standards. The experience was worse than many budget chain hotels, and certainly not what one expects from a resort in Big Sky.

Just finished a week long stay at The Summit Hotel. What a wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we were very impressed with the staff. Two people in particular made our stay special. Aidan at the front desk was extremely professional and friendly. He was engaging and super helpful for our family. This young man has a bright future. Luis became an instant friend at the bar. A true artist with drinks. Not only is he extremely friendly, his drinks are amazing, and he would tell you the history of what he was making. Truly an elevated experience.

Just left a weekend stay at the Summit Hotel in Big Sky. Our first time staying at the Summit. We were greeted by an awesome valet who wasted no time loading our stuff onto the cart and immediately taking it with us to our room. ||Room was nice, only qualm is the quality of the mattresses. Our only two options were the Murphy bed Queen or the double Queen and we opted for the double as Murphy beds notoriously have the bar going under the bottom. Mattresses were not very comfortable, sunken on sides so we had to sleep in different beds in the middle of the mattress. Friends at the resort told us they were doing the same. If this resort would upgrade their beds and had more king room|Options, I think it would go a long way. We hoped to get a few more runs in the morning of checkout but our backs were killing us from the mattresses. ||Our favorite employee was Jamie at Peaks. We ate all of our meals there and really enjoyed his company. He was extremely professional and attentive, made the best coffee I’ve had in eons and wonderful cocktails. The Summit is lucky to have someone like Jamie. ||Though it was spring break, we really didn’t see a ton of kids and it was relatively quiet, which we appreciated. ||If it wasn’t for Jamie, I’d give the entire experience a 4 star because of mattresses, but I’m raising it to a 5 because of him. ||We were very impressed by the quality of food at the Summit, and enjoyed every meal we had.

The 5 of us traveled to Big Sky, MT. We had adjoining rooms. One had 2 queen beds and the other had a queen Murphy bed with a couch, small oval table with 4 chairs and a kitchenette. Both rooms had a full bathroom with nice white tiles, large shower, and a well lite mirror. The kitchenette was great to have as we were able to have breakfast and some lunches in the room as a break from the day’s activities. ||The staff were great and wanted to help. The cowboys are there to valet your car (if you want, otherwise parking is about a 5 minute walk from the hotel-which we did for the additional time outside and always good for the kids to experience some inconvenience 🤓), assist with luggage, and they will shuttle you into town-make sure to tip them. ||There is a nice spa on site-we did not use. Also a swimming pool, sauna, cold shower, and a warming bench (never seen one, it was nice). In addition, a small gym that has enough equipment to get a bit of exercise in, but max dumbbells and Smith machine weight was 50lbs-I’m sure for safety. Finally, there is a pool as well. ||During our stay, we had free lift tix each day to go up the mountain via 2 ski lifts. The one on the left (as you look at the mountain) has an 18 hole frisbee golf course that our two sons and I played while my wife and daughter helped us. A great way to have some fun and hike. We saw deer while on the course. The other lift will take you to the Big Sky sign and photo opportunity. Last ride up is 4:45pm and last ride down is 5pm. ||You can rent frisbee golf and mountain bikes in the village next to the hotel. We had dinner at couple of the restaurants-expensive, not surprisingly. ||Nit picks-pillows are small and too soft, the queen mattress was not very comfy for 2 adults (felt like a blow up mattress at times) and the a/c was just ok. ||Beautiful setting and a short drive into the town of Big Sky.

This is a new well organized hotel with beautiful views. Big sky is a small ski town and a great place for mountain biking and hiking. But keep in mind this is a place for meetings and a resort. Great staff and an amazing stop.

Beware of room service and restaurant charges. At dinner prices on my bill were one to two dollars higher than what was advertised on the menu. I kind of let it slide then moved on. The next morning I ordered room service and my bill was not brought up to me as it usually would have been. I ended up getting charged the 20 percent service fee plus a 20 percent extra tip and the menu items were a higher price than what was advertised. The front desk manager didn’t see any problem and the food and beverage manager never got back to me so I guess I will move in. It was too bad because this is an amazing hotel overall and I was already thinking about coming back. They really should have taken care of this better since it really soured me on the idea of returning. |Just something to consider. If you don’t mind getting charged more than expected you’ll have a great time.

Epic Spring skiing with the great people at Big Sky resort! We loved our one-bedroom suite with views of the slopes, and how close we were to the ski valet and chair lifts.||Kayla Webster, the concierge manager, personally helped me plan my whole itinerary and the front desk people were super helpful with check in, they even got our lift tickets for us! ||My son and I booked a whole day private lesson, which was a great way to learn the mountain, work on our skiing, and skip the lift lines. Raini was our guide, and I would definitely recommend him.||The spa and outdoor hot tub were great, and they serve drinks too!||We ate all our meals on property and the food is good with a number of restaurants to choose from. We ate breakfast every morning at Peaks which was perfect as it was downstairs from our room, and steps from the ski valet.||Huge mountain with every type of terrain to choose from, and really nice bowls.||We will definitely be back!
