Fodor's Expert Review Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe

Nestled mid-mountain on the Northstar ski resort, the four-story Ritz-Carlton has plush accommodations with floor-to-ceiling windows, fireplaces, cozy robes, and down comforters. For inimitable pampering, splurge on a top-floor, concierge, Club Level room. No matter which room you book, you'll enjoy access to the spa, fitness center, heated outdoor pools, and the gondola to Northstar. In addition to room service, dining options include a casual café lounge, the Backyard Bar & BBQ for poolside or outdoor ski-in, ski-out dining, and the upscale Manzanita for California cuisine, with more restaurants in Northstar Village.
