The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe Offers Seaplane Arrival

The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe, the first and only AAA Five Diamond resort in the Lake Tahoe region, is introducing an exciting new partnership with Blackbird Air, the Bay Area’s premier technology-driven airline delivering a private flight experience. The partnership will enable guests of the resort to fly from Blackbird Air’s convenient Bay Area locations of Palo Alto and Sausalito directly to The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe’s new Lake Club, located in Tahoe Vista on Lake Tahoe’s pristine North Shore.

Starting June 2018, Blackbird Air will begin transporting resort guests from their private airports throughout the Bay Area directly to Lake Tahoe, landing in front of The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe’s new exclusive Lake Club. Once landed at Lake Club, guests of the resort are welcome to promptly begin enjoying the many amenities the stunning waterside venue has to offer, including al fresco dining, leisure and water activities, and direct access to the lake. From Lake Club, guests can be transported in luxury mini buses to The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe to enjoy the mountain retreat.
