The Ritz-Carlton Highlands Lake Tahoe Opens
Anticipated to be the premier Northern California contemporary mountain retreat, the $300 million project, situated mid-mountain in the Northstar-at-Tahoe ski area, features ski-in, ski-out access with mountain concierge services. Manzanita, the resort's signature restaurant, has been created by San Francisco's James Beard Award-winning chef Traci Des Jardins. The Highlands Spa is a 17,000-square-foot spa and fitness center with treatments and therapies themed around water and the woods. The new Highlands Gondola will connect guests between the nearby Village-at-Northstar and The Ritz-Carlton Highlands, Lake Tahoe resort. Perched slope-side within a 15-minute drive of both Lake Tahoe and the historic town of Truckee, the year-round destination includes 170 guest rooms, 23 private Ritz-Carlton Residences and 25 Ritz-Carlton Destination Club residences.
