Originally opened in the 1960s, Edgewood Tahoe upgraded from a golf course to a full-service resort in 2017. Today, it’s easily one of the most luxurious hotels in Lake Tahoe – and it doesn’t take long to feel it. When entering the modern 154-room lodge, you’ll take in a stunning welcome, with soaring A-frame windows showcasing views of Lake Tahoe.
Chic rooms feature fireplaces, soaking tubs, and, often, postcard-worthy views (mine once had a patio just feet from the water). It’s easy to get anywhere in South Tahoe from here, but you could easily fill your days never straying far. When you’re ready to unwind, head to the spa or join a daily wellness activity, be it a silent disco, meditation, or sound bath.
Don’t miss the three on-site restaurants – with its awe-inspiring views, Edgewood Restaurant is a must (splurge on the filet.) Final tip: don’t forget your suit, the lakefront pool is heated year-round.

When arriving at the ski chalet-style Black Bear Lodge, you instantly feel warm and welcome. The inviting main building features a 32-foot-tall fireplace made of smooth river rock, wood beams, and a rustic yet modern design. Formerly the nine-room Black Bear Inn, the hotel underwent renovations in 2017 when it changed owners.
The property offers five guest rooms in the main building featuring en-suite gas fireplaces, and four private cabins, which sleep two to five people and include kitchenettes. As part of the expansion, the new owners added 22 rooms in a remodeled lodge on the adjacent land.
Altogether, 70 percent of the property is undeveloped, creating a calm and nature-filled retreat just a few blocks from Heavenly Resort. Don’t miss the outdoor hot tub and or happy hour from 4-6pm in the lobby bar (one of Tahoe’s best-kept secrets, in my opinion), which offers craft beers, California wines and appetizers.

When you’re in Tahoe, you’ll want to spend as much time staring at the shimmering blue water as possible. The Landing has that going for it by the eyefull, offering panoramic views from many rooms and spaces throughout the property.
Situated directly on the waterfront and steps from the Nevada border, you’ll feel secluded yet will be in the center of the action, with restaurants and casinos minutes away. In the summer, talk steps to find a place to pic picnic, stroll, or simply bask on the beach. In the summer, walk directly to the gondola at Heavenly Ski Resort. No matter the season, enjoy the heated pool and hot tub, plus comfortable rooms that feature stone fireplaces and lake-facing balconies.
On-site Jimmy restaurant offers California fare (I’ve been for brunch and the smoked salmon benedict was the fuel I needed), a 500-bottle wine vault, and nightly live music.
