Schweitzer

The Promenade essay

What it feels like to stay here

Schweitzer rises above Sandpoint, Idaho, in the Selkirk Mountains, and its lodging page gathers a village-scale collection of hotels, condominiums, townhomes and vacation rentals under one booking roof. Every guest staying on the mountain gets access to the outdoor pool and hot tubs tucked behind the Selkirk Lodge, reached from the third floor via the elevators next to the Selkirk front desk. Selkirk Lodge itself sits closest to the slopes at the center of the village, with its swimming pool and hot tubs open year-round and easy reach to Chimney Rock Grill and Cambium Spa. Humbird, the boutique hotel completed in 2022, holds 31 rooms with a rooftop hot tub, coworking space, the Glass Room gathering space, ski lockers and dining at Crow's Bench, built from cross laminated timber with wide glass framing mountain and lake views. Families often land at White Pine Lodge, where one-, two- and three-bedroom units bring full kitchens, gas fireplaces, underground parking and two outdoor hot tubs of their own; the 5 Needles addition opened in summer 2023 with higher-end appliances and furnishings. Beyond the village core, on-mountain condominiums such as Chapel Point and Crystal Run sit along homeowner's trails feeding the Creekside lift or the main base area, while the Lazier building looks out over Lake Pend Oreille from a village address with ski access at the door. Reserving through Schweitzer's own lodging pages keeps the pool, the front desk and the discounted lift tickets available to lodging guests attached to the reservation, and the resort lists deals and packages separately for travelers who want to compare offers before choosing a building.
