Heading for Tahoe anytime soon? The region’s most beloved hotels and resorts are ready to welcome winter visitors, but there are a few new — or newly renovated — possibilities on the horizon, too.
The Desolation Hotel opened in South Lake Tahoe last spring with a Japanese-meets-Scandi reimagining of the studios, suites and town houses of the old Tahoe Villa Motel on Poplar Street. And Maggie’s Restaurant and Bar opened in August on the hotel’s third floor, offering 360-degree mountain views and a menu that ranges from brunch fare to dinner options including fresh pastas, game meats and more.

When the grand Edgewood Tahoe opened in Stateline in 2017 with 154 guest rooms and suites, it was promptly named the top U.S. resort hotel by Travel + Leisure Magazine. This fall, it added a slew of new luxury, lakeside villa suites with two, three, four or six bedrooms each. Find more details, including booking information, at https://edgewoodtahoe.com.
And Hilton just announced that it will build a new Waldorf Astoria resort on Tahoe’s north shore on the site of the former Tahoe Biltmore on Lake Tahoe’s north shore. The Biltmore property, which includes a casino and hotel, is set for demolition this year. Rising in its place: A 15-acre resort — with 76 guest rooms, a 3-acre beach club, shops and a poolside restaurant — is slated to open on Crystal Bay in 2027. There will be a lounge — the Peacock Alley, which pays homage to New York City’s original Waldorf Astoria — and a mountain club at the Northstar ski resort.
