Perched mid-mountain at Northstar California, the Ritz-Carlton is the most polished stay in the Tahoe-Truckee area. In winter it's genuine ski-in/ski-out; a dedicated gondola connects guests straight down to Northstar's pedestrian village.
Expect the full Ritz treatment — a large spa, a fireside Living Room lounge, refined dining and impeccable service — set against the pines. It's the splurge option for a special ski trip or a quiet, luxurious summer mountain escape.
