Rating

Combining the Ritz Carlton with Lake Tahoe is certainly destined to create a luxurious atmosphere. Famous California skiing can be accessed with ski-in-ski-out at the Ritz Carlton Lake Tahoe. Staying here is a family-friendly way to enjoy the mountains in the classiest way.

A pool, spa, heated pool, and let’s not forget the ski-in/ski-out. The hotel is located 9 miles away from the Northstar-at-Tahoe ski resort.

However, for the little ones that aren’t quite old enough yet, the Ritz Carlton offers babysitting and an adult pool for a little bit of relaxation after an athletic day before picking up the youngsters.

Winter athletes know the meaning of working up an appetite. The Ritz Carlton Lake Tahoe has 3 restaurants. The Manzanita is French-inspired fine dining with a California twist. Dishes here are prepared by celebrity chef Traci Des Jardins. MountainBlue is a great restaurant to visit for breakfast before heading to the slopes.

Pros (+) Amazing location, great service, facilities were extremely well maintained.
Cons (-) The boot section of the ski valet was the only place where we had bad service. The guy there seemed to not care about his job, gave us other people’s boots (more than once), told us our boots weren’t there until we explained that we had seen them arrive 5 minutes earlier, then he bothered to look. Otherwise the service and staff went above and beyond, were really friendly, and made our stay great.
