Fodor's Expert Review The Coeur d'Alene Resort

Towering over Lake Coeur d’Alene, this high-rise luxury hotel has a beach on one side and downtown on the other. The lobby is always lively, especially in the summer, when it's full of international tourists, families in beachwear, and traveling businesspeople. With eight restaurants and lounges, a 15,000-square-foot spa, 18-hole golf course (including a famous floating green), and a classy bar on the seventh floor with tremendous views, the resort offers a full package for just about anyone. The lakeside rooms also have great views of the marina and surrounding forest.
