The 10 best hotels in South Lake Tahoe, United States

October 10, 2022 Enedina Augsburger

South Lake Tahoe is the only destination in the country that combines two strikingly different worlds: The spectacular beauty of a national park, and all the desirable amenities of a world-class resort. Here you can enjoy a full range of exhilarating outdoor activities – from skiing and snowmobiling, snowshoeing, sleigh rides and sledding to hiking, biking, kayaking, boating, fishing, swimming, and golf - alongside the excitement of 24-hour nightclubs, fine dining, gaming and entertainment.

Forest Suites Resort at Heavenly Village

Great place to stay

Reviewed By gregh0825

I have stayed here several times over the last 18 years when riding the America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride. I like having a suite because it gives me ample room to assemble my bike. I also like having a kitchenette in the suite. It is a nice alternative from the casinos. It's just off the main drag, so it is quieter but convenient to the town. The staff has always been pleasant and this year actually had maps to the town and hiking areas. Complimentary breakfast was included. They were in the middle of property improvements this year (2022) which were greatly needed, so that was just another nice plus. Will stay there again should I go back next year.

Amazing overnight stay

Reviewed By evelync343

We chose this because of the location and it did not disappoint. The Boathouse seaside restaurant was also awesome: Gage, and the team at night (sorry forgot the names) May 14th, 2020 are amazing. Gage was alone and handled everything well. The night team was slammed with lots of guests but got everyone happy. Food was filling and delicious. They were so apologetic on delayed food service and wanted to comp it. We said NO! We understood the wait and we're very thankful for their service. We chose a beachfront room, worth the extra $$$. Had the fireplace going. Beautiful views.

Vacation in South Lake Tahoe

Reviewed By lisarW8747ZG

I was unsure when I picked this hotel to stay as reviews were mixed. I had 2 hotels choosen and decided to stay here. We arrived a little early and the staff got us into our room. That was great. Very appreciative. Location was close to eatting shopping and the lake view room was great. 2 vanities a plus. Bed was comfy. mini fridge was lg. Room was clean and neat. Saw the staff on a daily basis keeping the patio and surrounding areas cleaned. Huge closet area. All the staff we interacted with were polite. We didn't notice any real outside noise from the road. The one thing I would say is the hotel could use fresh paint and updated carpet. Other then that we enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Booked the 1 bed apartment and had so much space, it was great to have a fridge and kitchen area as well as a lounge to end the evening in. The hotel organise hikes which we did, superb, especially when we saw a big brown bear, highlight of our trip. Thanks again, highly recommend

After a really bad experience at the Edgewood, we moved over to the Landing. This is a delightful property. The rooms are quiet and comfortable. The entire staff is friendly and go out of their way to be helpful. Access to the private beach is especially convenient. We have eaten several meals at the restaurant Jimmy's which is here on property. Friendly efficient staff and great food.

Heavenly Valley Lodge

Newly renovated in 2011. Managed by the Owners! All of our rooms were completely remodeled with brand new beds, linens and furnishings! Our goal is to make this a unique, wonderful and relaxing experience for our guests. We invite you to experience a Lake Tahoe stay like no other. Let us spoil you...We're good at it!!! Lake Tahoe has so much to offer and is also a great home base for skiing, boating, fishing, hiking, biking or just to relax in a beautiful serene location. It is also close to neighboring hot spots such as Yosemite, San Francisco, Napa Valley Wine tasting, and other Northern California & Nevada locations. The Heavenly Valley Lodge Bed & Breakfast is a quiet, Tahoe-Style property located at 1261 Ski Run Blvd just below the world-famous Heavenly Ski slopes, and only a 1/2 mile down to the shores of Lake Tahoe. The property is on a wooded acre and is very spacious and quiet.

Be sure to understand the rooms!

Reviewed By girlwhotraveled

Stayed here for a couple nights in the bunkhouse cabin. Though the place was clean, the bunkhouse was tight space for three adults. There was a queen bed and a bunk bed right next to it. Barely had any room to navigate or place luggage. Felt very confining! Otherwise the bathroom shower had great water pressure and was nice to have a small kitchenette but for us, it was very cramped and didn’t feel very comfortable due to the size. Probably better for a couple with one kid but that’s it. Location was good though.

Do Not do Owner update. It's not an update. They are trying to get you to purchase additional points towards Hilton Honors in US Collections. Felt like a hostage for 2hours. We are already owners. We dont want any more points.

Nice, Comfortable Stay

Reviewed By 362ryanh

I stayed at this property mid-week and got a hot tub room for a great rate. I sense that most rooms have hot tubs. Anyway, I had a great stay. The room was perfectly clean. I prefer the ground floor with the hot tub rooms, so I don't feel like I am disturbing the people below me with the jacuzzi motor roaring. Bed was super comfortable, the jacuzzi worked great. The hotel is located pretty darn close to everything. They have a bike rental program too, which if you are into that, will get you to where you want to go quickly! I visited in summer. I'd love to stay at this place in the winter. The room is very cozy, with the hot tub, comfortable bed. It makes a great cozy room in the cold, snowy sierra winter.
