The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe - AAA Five Diamond Mountain Resort with Ski-in/Ski-out Access and Lake Club

Located mid-mountain at Northstar California Resort, this AAA Five Diamond Truckee hotel spans 17000 square feet. The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe features 17 treatment rooms in its slope-side spa, complete with ladies' and gentlemen's lounges equipped with saunas, steam rooms, and whirlpools. Two outdoor swimming pools serve lap swimming and slope-side relaxation, while the fitness center provides state-of-the-art equipment and exercise classes. The property houses multiple dining venues, including Cafe Blue for grab-and-go options, The Backyard Bar & BBQ for Texas-style barbecue, and Manzanita for Pacific Northwest cuisine. The Lake Club, positioned on the north shore, grants guests private beach access, a boat pier, and water sports equipment. A dedicated mountainside concierge assists with ski services, while The Ritz-Carlton Club level offers five daily food presentations. The property sits 46.5 miles from Reno-Tahoe International Airport.

Pros

Private Lake Club with dedicated pier and complimentary water sports equipment

Topgolf Swing Suites for virtual gaming entertainment

Direct access to Northstar Resort Ski and Snowboard School

Burton-led snowboarding programs at the world's only snowboard academy

Cons

Lake Club access requires additional fees

75-kilometer distance from nearest international airport

“While the ski-in/ski-out setup is undeniably convenient, and the mountain concierge services a definite plus, some find the execution misses the mark for a true luxury experience. It seems some find that while there are attempts to deliver luxury-welcome drinks and marshmallow displays-service inconsistencies and room upkeep can detract from the overall experience. The family-friendly perks, like kids' activities and slopeside hot tub access, are highlights that might sway those less focused on flawless service.”
