Following a two-year, resort-wide transformation, the Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe has unveiled reimagined interiors across its guestrooms and public spaces.
The property, originally opened in 2009, now blends modern elegance with the rugged serenity of its alpine surroundings.
A grounded design narrative
Surrounded by towering pines and sweeping slope-side vistas, the redesign—led by Premier and the Johnson Studio at Cooper Carry—draws upon the raw textures and natural hues of the Tahoe landscape.
Earth tones, wood accents, and panoramic windows define the 170 upgraded guestrooms and suites, while the Ritz-Carlton Residences provide multi-bedroom accommodations with full kitchens, expansive decks, and fireplaces ideal for family gatherings.

Gathering spaces with soul
Public spaces have been reimagined for warmth and connection. The Living Room Lodge, formerly the main lounge, now features plush seating, a roaring fireplace, and a dramatic U-shaped marble bar framed by floor-to-ceiling windows. A striking crystal chandelier embedded with pressed wildflowers anchors the room, offering a nod to the surrounding wilderness.
Dining has also been elevated with the refresh of Manzanita, the resort’s signature restaurant. Exposed stone walls, timber ceiling beams, and a central fireplace set a refined, rustic tone, while the oval bar provides a communal space to sip and linger.Â
New ways to unwind the Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe
In addition to the revitalized fitness center, which now includes a yoga deck with panoramic views, the resort introduces two Topgolf Swing Suites—immersive sports simulators designed for all ages.
A new retail concept, the Alpine Exchange Boutique, and upgraded pool cabanas further round out the guest experience.
