Fodor's Expert Review Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa and Casino

This full-service 26-acre destination resort is undergoing a two-year renovation of its lakeside cottages and main restaurant, with beach access, a significant part of the Hyatt's appeal, unavailable until at least April 2026; that said, accommodations in the green-glass tower and resort facilities elsewhere (several restaurants, heated pool, hot tubs, fitness center, casino, the Stillwater Sap) will remain open. Starting at 400 square feet, the spacious guest quarters, done in light browns and grays, have amenities that include pillow-top mattresses, 65-inch HDTVs, small refrigerators, and coffeemakers. Some king rooms are equipped with sofa beds; most upperfloor rooms have mountain or lake views. The decor in suites, which range from 550 to 896 square feet, is similar, with a bit more color and slightly plusher fabrics.
