Silver Dollar City said the hotel is already under construction, and the group is planning an opening for 2026. Additional resort details will be provided in the coming months.

“Silver Dollar City Parks & Resorts President Brad Thomas said, “Over the next decade, we will mindfully transform 1,200 acres into an authentic, only-in-the-Ozarks destination starting with our first resort.”
