When the Ritz-Carlton Highlands, Lake Tahoe was built, it was designed as a contemporary legacy of the great mountain lodges built at the beginning of the 20th century. The hotel is a brief gondola away from The Village at Northstar located 1,000 feet below the hotel's 6.900 foot elevation. The hotel is gorgeous! There are fireplaces everywhere, inside and out. On the weekends, you can dine by the fire in the living room. There is a spa, heated pool and jacuzzi. The skiing is skii in and out and there is amazing valet service. This place is so amazing, I recommend hanging out here as much as possible and relaxing by the fire with a good book, skiing out from the hotel into the Northstar skii resort, etc. A couple can stay here all weekend, and never have to drive!
The Manzanita, the resort's signature restaurant first created by James Beard Award Winning Chef Traci Des Jardins, is now headed by a new talented chef from Ohio. The menu changes seasonally and offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I really enjoyed the food, especially the salmon!
