Inside the beautiful mountain lodge where the biggest names in tech and media are staying for Allen & Co.’s annual ‘summer camp for billionaires’ Part 2

From Business Insider

Every year in July, investment bank Allen & Co. holds an exclusive conference in Sun Valley, Idaho. It’s a time for the top executives of America’s media, technology, and sports industries to hobnob and make deals.

Past attendees have included the likes of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Apple CEO Tim Cook, and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. The annual congregation of wealthy businesspeople has earned itself the name “summer camp for billionaires,” and it’s credited with kindling major mergers like that of Comcast and NBC Universal.

Let’s take an inside look at the massive and beautiful venue that plays host to this star-studded event: the famous Sun Valley Lodge.

You can just imagine the executives of LinkedIn, Pinterest, and CBS conversing on these fancy armchairs.

Here are photos of some of the other famous people who have walked Sun Valley Lodge’s halls.

Rooms boast amazing outdoor vistas and sleek see-through gas fireplaces.

These enormous beds look fit for royalty. A terrace suite at the lodge went for $529 a night last year.

These enormous bathrooms look comfortable.

Breakfast outside, anyone? It’s hard to say what looks better from this private terrace: the view of the Sun Valley ski mountain, or that perfectly browned piece of toast.

Without a doubt, somebody will be toasting to their latest success with a little bubbly.

One thing’s for sure: as much as it might look like they’re going to the perfect summer camp, the attendees of this year’s Allen & Co. conference will be doing a lot more than just fishing and singing songs around the campfire.

Not too shabby.
