Renewed, refreshed, forever beautiful.
This winter, The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe is the place to be and to ski.
Where clear mountain air mingles with Veuve bubbles, the newly transformed Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe officially tops the list as the Sierra’s most stunning ski-season sanctuary. Following a sweeping two-year transformation, this AAA Five Diamond resort throws open its doors to sophisticated mountain luxury set among the untamed beauty of Tahoe’s North Shore. Towering ponderosa, proud sugar pines and the smooth slopes of Northstar California Resort surround, and quality ski time is literally at your doorstep. It’s ski-in, ski-out with benefits: Step outside for first tracks, step inside for fireside martinis.
Inside, the Living Room Lodge welcomes with soft, sculptural furnishings, a grand fireplace, and a convivial, marble-topped U-shaped bar. For an extra dose of pure mountain glamour, just look up: an intricate cascade chandelier with suspended wildflowers pressed within drops of crystal glitters in the sun and evening light. Guest rooms and suites, 170 in all, are designed with natural textures, warm earth tones, and panoramic mountain or valley views. For easeful gatherings and grander getaways, The Ritz-Carlton Residences offer expansive multi-bedroom layouts, fireplaces, and full kitchens ideal for families or groups of friends.

Dining delights
When appetites rise, Manzanita calls. This classic fine-dining restaurant is where California cuisine meets alpine soul – think ahi tuna tiradito, 32-ounce côte de boeuf, and organic mountain produce in a setting of exposed stone, wood beams, and flickering firelight. For a livelier spin, celebrate the Sierra spirit at the fresh Montesa Cantina Moderna, whose heirloom corn tacos and salted-rim cocktails come with a view of the snowy Sierra peaks.

Après-ski action
And then, of course, comes après-ski, that shimmering wintertime ritual. This is where Tahoe really comes into its own. The off-the-slope indulgences here are many and magical. Perhaps a Veuve Clicquot Cabana Chalet is in order? Your private heated fur-lined chalet features firepits, whirlpool, heated pool and, naturally, a little champagne and caviar never goes amiss. For a sweet treat, gather round a private glowing firepit for gourmet s’mores and house-made marshmallows beneath the stars.

After a day of skiing, the expansive spa features 17 treatment rooms, fireplace-warmed relaxation areas, a dry-heat lodge, and eucalyptus steam room. The adult-only heated outdoor lap pool overlooks the slopes, and the relaxing hot tub, steam room, sauna, cold rain-shower plunge, and lap pool are exclusively for spa guests receiving treatment – think Meditative Forest Facial or Aromatic Afterglow Massage, for a start.

Recharge in the state-of-the-art fitness and wellness center with yoga decks, Technogym gear, and Peloton bikes.
