By Leo Jakobson
The most important new property coming online in 2009 in Lake Tahoe is The Ritz-Carlton Highlands, Lake Tahoe, opening late next year. The 173-room, ski-in, ski-out property will be the first five-star resort in the already upscale destination, which was named the top destination in the U.S. by TripAdvisor this spring. The Ritz-Carlton Highlands, Lake Tahoe, will include a 20,000-square-foot spa with 16 treatment rooms, indoor and outdoor treatment rooms a private pool and whirlpool tubs.
The new five-star resort is already providing the destination as a whole a bump in credibility with the highest-end incentive planners, according to Jason Neary, director of conference sales of the North Lake Tahoe Visitors' Bureau. And that will benefit the region as a whole, he adds.
Several other properties have recently completed extensive renovations, including The Resort at Squaw Creek and the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe.
