Beach Retreat & Lodge At Tahoe

A striking example of contemporary elegance, the Beach Retreat & Lodge At Tahoe stands as a sentinel along the southern shore of the pristine Lake Tahoe, where powdery slopes and shimmering waters intermingle. Upon entering, guests are greeted by the lobby's open design and warm wood accents, coupled with tall windows that frame breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding Sierra Nevada mountains; a multi-layered visual feast that sets the tone for a luxurious stay. Artful touches-such as local photography that captures the essence of the lake and mountains-competently anchor the contemporary decor. The property features flexible indoor and outdoor facilities for meetings, family gatherings, and special events. With venues like the inviting Boathouse on the Pier, guests can enjoy intimate social gatherings while soaking in mountain vistas. The beach beckons with its serene ambiance, and the rooftop deck promises a panorama that becomes your playground, day or night, as the sun dips below the horizon in an explosion of colors.

Explore the Local Area

Nestled amid some of South Lake Tahoe's most exhilarating attractions, the Beach Retreat & Lodge offers proximity to acclaimed ski resorts like Heavenly Mountain Resort and Kirkwood Resort; enjoy downhill and cross-country trails, cruisers, and breathtaking chutes that deliver mind-blowing views of Lake Tahoe. This all-season paradise invites you to sail, kayak, or simply lounge on the beach in summer; the nearby Bijou Park and Camp Richardson Mountain Sports Center offer ample opportunities for both winter sports and serene hikes. A mere three-hour drive from San Francisco and about an hour from Reno-Tahoe International Airport ensures the journey is as effortless as the adventures that await.

Room Information

The Beach Retreat & Lodge features over 200 meticulously appointed rooms that blend contemporary design with comfort; partial lake views are standard, while upward options present private balconies and expansive patios. Each room offers plush seating, flat-screen TVs, and well-stocked coffee machines, with generous en suite bathrooms furnished with free toiletries.

Room Upgrades

Upgrade your experience with one of the spacious suites ranging from 500 to 1,200 square feet; they offer expansive living areas, luxurious king beds, and views that promise to take your breath away. For the ultimate indulgence, top-tier suites boast fireplaces, private decks, and proximity to the beach. Additional room upgrade options include deluxe lake view rooms and family suites designed for larger groups.

“With its beachfront location, the hotel certainly appeals to families and couples seeking lakeside leisure. The proximity to both the water and local restaurants is a definite plus, though some may find inconsistencies in service and upkeep. It's a place where the setting shines, but attention to detail could elevate the experience.”
