With both summer and winter (which lasts a long time!) being high seasons here, we welcome thousands upon thousands of visitors every year. And where do those visitors stay? In our Lake Tahoe motels and hotels, of course! With so many to choose from, there really is a Tahoe hotel to suit every need. If we start at the bottom of the lake, the options for South Lake Tahoe motels and hotels go from cozy little spots that are clean and economical to resorts located right on the water to lodges that take care of more than enough needs to casino hotels to places where the word pamper just might have been invented. There are plenty of recognizable national-name properties where you know what to expect, and you’ll also appreciate the truly local South Lake Tahoe hotels that have been offering their unique brand of hospitality for decades. Compared to the other towns around the lake, you have the most options here. Other areas, such as Tahoe City, boast a good assortment of Lake Tahoe hotels, but you’ll also find lots of campgrounds that help you get even closer to the incredible natural surroundings. As you might assume, many of the Tahoe motels and hotels in Kings Beach tend to have a nostalgic, laid back feel to them, but you can also find luxurious lakeside rooms that feature top-scale amenities. Truckee’s options can take you 7,000 feet atop Donner Summit to high-end lodges to a Tahoe hotel that’s more than 140 years old! Squaw’s Lake Tahoe hotels are all upscale and laden with amenities, and Incline Village woos guests who want luxury digs paired with activities such as casinos, dining and spas.
