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.
