Description

Silver Dollar City is ushering in a new era of Ozarks hospitality with its first-ever landmark resort, a stunning six-story, craftsman-style, 262-room retreat which overlooks sweeping, untouched vistas of the Ozark Mountains and Table Rock Lake. Thoughtfully designed to blur the lines between nature, craft, and comfort, Silver Dollar City Resort offers guests direct, priority access to the park and nearby attractions and serves as a focal point of a major multi-million-dollar investment redefining the Branson experience.
