Lake Tahoe Hotels and Lodgings

Best Western Plus Hotel Truckee Tahoe offers a contemporary and affordable place to use as a base camp while exploring the Truckee-Tahoe area. The hotel has 99 rooms including deluxe king and single and double deluxe queen offerings, so there is ample space for rest and relaxation after a day hiking or skiing. In fact, Northstar California Resort is only minutes away up Highway 267. Golfers can walk from here to the nearby nine-hole Ponderosa Golf Course. Also within a very short walk are a brewery and sushi and Thai restaurants. Those traveling with dogs are welcome too. Two dogs are allowed in a room (with size limits and extra fees). Amenities include free WiFi, a business center with printing capabilities and a year-round pool and spa. The hotel offers free hot breakfasts and a fitness center. Event space is also available. Ask about seasonal manager's specials on things like discounts at area ski resorts, casinos or tours.

Founded on an ethos of sustainability, environmental stewardship and a legacy of luxury, Edgewood Tahoe Resort has risen from a world-class golf course to a world-class travel and business destination, offering guests access to unforgettable alpine experiences. Homesteaded more than 150 years ago by the rugged ranchers of the Park family, the lakefront property later became an original stop on the Pony Express. Set on 235 acres, Edgewood Tahoe earned a reputation as a vacation destination during the 1880s. In 1968 the resort rose to international fame when its soon-to-be-iconic golf course was unveiled. Featuring a restaurant, golf shop and lakefront event space, the adjacent Clubhouse was built in 1973 and subsequently remodeled in 1993. Within the Clubhouse, Brooks’ Bar and Deck was added in 2003, expanding guest dining options with golf course and lake views.

Inaugurated in 2017 and recently awarded four stars in 2020 by Forbes Travel Guide, the LEED-certified Lodge increased the resort’s commitment to luxury, with 154 mountain-modern guest rooms, The Bistro restaurant and bar, a spa, a swimming pool, a hot tub, event spaces and the gorgeous Great Room. A stone’s throw from the Nevada/California state line, Edgewood Tahoe is ideal for a secluded getaway or as a launching point for discovering everything South Lake Tahoe has to offer. Located one hour from Reno-Tahoe International Airport and two hours from Sacramento, Edgewood Tahoe is easily accessible by land or air.

Nestled in the Sierra Nevada on the shore of Lake Tahoe, Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa and Casino is a year-round destination with something for everyone. Their lodging includes 422 guestrooms and 24 lakeside cottages with fireplaces. Several restaurants, bars and lounges occupy their 26 acres, including fine dining on the lake and a floating pier with a bar. The 24-hour casino has 16 table games and more than 250 slot machines. If you’re here on business, make use of their 24-hour business center and high-speed wireless internet. Hosting an event? The Hyatt has 50,000 square feet of indoor/outdoor function space including a beachside ballroom with a view of the lake.

Conveniently located close to several ski resorts, hiking and biking trails and golf courses, the Hyatt has an on-premise sports shop with ski, snowboard and bike rentals. Their 500 feet of lakefront beach hosts a range of watersports rentals from standup paddleboards to power boats. Guests can treat themselves to a massage at the full-service spa, take a dip in the lagoon-style pool or hot tubs or check out the 24-hour fitness center with state-of-the-art cardio and strength-training equipment.

Families will find plenty to do on site. For kids there is Camp Hyatt, a fun and educational year-round program providing lake walks, outdoor games, crafts and scavenger hunts. Come evening the hotel provides guests with their own s’mores-making kit, because there’s no better way to end a day at the lake than by sitting around the fire pit roasting marshmallows while telling stories and gazing at the stars – whether you’ve got the kids with you or not.

Offering hearty gourmet dining and bar specials in a nostalgic atmosphere, River Ranch is a landmark destination for visitors and a locals' favorite year-round. Nestled on the banks of the Truckee River, River Ranch is poised to catch people tubing down the mellow rapids during the heat of the summer and to capture the après-ski crowd funneling down from the ski resorts during the cold winter nights. Their recently renovated seasonal patio is home to an outdoor bar that serves the iconic Class V River Rum Punch and their famous nachos, with alfresco dining under the stars. The cozy and intimate indoor bar and restaurant are known for gourmet meals, scenic river views and gathering around one of the two fireplaces. Their menu brings together all the summer and winter favorites with California cuisine and rotating specials and is proud to offer game, fish, chicken, burgers and veggie options. They also provide 19 small, boutique-style rooms for guests; reservations are highly recommended.

Truckee-Tahoe Pet Lodge is exactly what it sounds like – a resort for your cat or dog, pet-boarding style. On the cat side of things, you can board your feline friends here knowing they will get all the attention they need in a clean, safe and stress-free environment. For dog boarding, you’ll be happy to know that the lodge offers suites instead of kennel cages. (In fact, Fido’s room might actually be better than yours.) The lodge also offers doggie daycare for working pet parents, providing a day of attention, exercise and socialization for your pooch.
