Real estate firm SHOP Development recently announced 39-room Larch House, a luxury hotel in Whitefish, Montana, is expected to open late summer 2025.
“From the outset, SHOP Development has been committed to being respectful to the history of Whitefish,” said Daniel Fuller, president, SHOP Development. “Throughout the process of creating Larch House, we’ve looked to the past but also embraced modern architecture and design to deliver an extraordinary hotel. Larch House is a modern reimagining of an alpine lodge, and we believe it will be a transformational anchor for Whitefish residents and visitors alike.”
Located in the Railway District of downtown Whitefish, Larch House’s 39 guestrooms will be spread across 10 buildings, and will offer a central courtyard with fire pits, a food and beverage program, a rooftop heated pool and sundeck, and private event space. Olsun Kundig designed all interior spaces, and the hotel will also house a private art collection featuring established artists.
“We’re seeing a trend throughout a lot of ski towns as they make a transition to become year-round adventure destinations,” said Tom Kundig, FAIA, RIBA, principal/owner and founder, Olson Kundig. “Regardless of the season you’re visiting, you still need a comfortable refuge before embarking on those big adventures out in nature. Larch House gives visitors a choice to tailor their refuge and their adventure.”
Guestrooms will feature custom furnishings, heated bathroom floors, original art, Pendleton quilts, Grown Alchemist bath products, and La Bottega robes and vanity kits. Fitness and wellness programming will be offered in partnership with local studios.
Larch House was developed with the landscape and community in mind, employing local artisans and tradespeople and using sustainably sourced natural building products and native plants and trees.
