The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe

“Love stopping in now”

We often just drive around the lake on a day off and pick a random spot to stop in for a drink. This time we chose the Ritz, as we’ve been thinking about doing a staycation there.

We often just drive around the lake on a day off and pick a random spot to stop in for a drink. This time we chose the Ritz, as we’ve been thinking about doing a staycation there. We went upstairs to Manzanita and initially sat at the bar. There’s no question this is a 5-star hotel. The service was fantastic, drinks very tasty and everyone was friendly. We decided to move a few feet to the Living Room Lodge where the upscale service didn’t stop. The fire was burning, making the atmosphere cozy and perfect. We’re not big skiers and often prefer to be on the water when staying at the lake, but we are keeping this in mind every time we consider our next trip.

“Amazing!”

We’ve stayed at The Ritz-Carlton, Northstar several times over the years, but this visit stood out as truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming and effortless. We were greeted with champagne, warm smiles, and thoughtful updates about the property since our last stay (when we were actually snowed in for two extra days!). Our room had a beautiful view, and the staff's care began immediately. The ski valet team was incredible. They took our skis upon arrival and sent us off with just our boots since we were heading straight to the slopes. Later, when we went to retrieve our equipment, someone had already called ahead, so everything was waiting for us. One moment that made me laugh: an employee kindly helped my husband remove his ski boots. Years ago, when our kids were little, getting boots on and off was a full workout. Now we’re at the stage where we appreciate the help — and it was offered so graciously. Every interaction felt seamless, friendly, and genuinely caring. Nothing felt forced or overly formal — just thoughtful people paying attention to the details. Food and beverage service was excellent, and the property remains stunning. In past visits, we’d occasionally had brief mix-ups with ski equipment that made things feel uncertain. This time, everything ran flawlessly. The team clearly raised the bar and made us feel truly cared for. As we checked out on a surprisingly warm day, I grabbed a hot cocoa to go. The care put into that simple cup perfectly captured the spirit of the entire stay — thoughtful, attentive, and warm. We left feeling relaxed, valued, and already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend.
