This premier 170-room, slope-side, family-friendly resort is set near the main lift of Northstar California Resort, 5 miles west of Lake Tahoe. The contemporary grand mountain lodge with a large stone fireplace and wood beams in an imposing octagonal lobby acts as an informal living room. Rooms include leather reading chairs, gas fireplaces and baths with stand-alone showers and generous soaking tubs. Opt for a more exclusive Club level accommodation. Eleven residences are also available year-round, many of which feature gourmet kitchens and splendid views. The property’s main restaurant serves locally sourced rustic California cuisine, while an outdoor lounge offers smoked meats and serves as a ski-in/ski-out patio during the winter. Fresh juices, panini and coffee beverages are also available at Café Blue. Amenities include a 17,000-square-foot spa with 17 treatment rooms, a gym that offers classes and personal training sessions, two outdoor pools, a ski valet and a Lake Club with a private boat pier for exclusive water access. A nearby village with shops and ice skating is a gondola ride away. Preferred access to multiple championship golf courses located near the hotel is also offered.
