"This luxurious hotel is surrounded by majestic pine forest on Lake Tahoe’s south shore, a mile from Heavenly’s base station (there is a complimentary shuttle). Inspired by national park lodges, its monumental lake-view lounge boasts 38-foot-high windows, and a grand staircase made from local hewn logs. Despite the hotel’s size it feels super cosy, with roaring fires in the public spaces and bedrooms, and lots of nooks for lounging. The 8,500-square-foot spa includes a sublime heated lakeside pool, while the Frank Gehry-designed Brooks Bar is the place for a post-piste beer with a view. Bistro, one of the hotel’s three restaurants, is one of the most popular places to eat in South Lake Tahoe. " - Nicola Iseard
