The Sundial Lodge consists of two structural steel buildings, one four stories and the other five stories, that are conjoined by an archway entry that welcomes guests into The Forum: a lively central outdoor plaza featuring a skating rink and large screen video monitor. It is surrounded by several retail shops and eateries. The facility consists of 150 guest suites, a full retail level, two lobbies, an overhead breezeway, and a spa pool for a total of 267,000sf. Both structures are connected to a one level, underground, concrete parking facility. The Sundial Lodge, with its attention to scale, texture and detail of a desert mountain setting with it’s deep yellow cladding and natural stone and timber exterior and interior highlights, sets the tone for all subsequent development within the resort’s core.
