Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort & Casino
Incline Village, Nevada
We have again selected the Hyatt Resort because of its spectacular location on the north shore close to Squaw Valley, Alpine Village, Northstar, Incline Village, Diamond Peak & Mt. Rose.
Think
snow.
Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, Mt. Rose, Diamond Peak and Northstar-at-Tahoe are the closest ski areas. And après-ski, or any time, you can warm up and wind down in the heated pool & spa.
Stillwater SpaHyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort & Casino
Towering pines line a secluded beach, creating a perfect natural backdrop for contemplation and meditation at Stillwater Spa at Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe. Located in a deep mountain valley and surrounded by breathtaking lake vistas, it is the ideal place to relax and unwind. Enjoy a full menu of spa services from deep-tissue massage to cleansing facials.
The Spa is very popular- so reserve your services early!
Restaurants & Nightlife Many fine restaurants are located in the Hotel and around the Lake. Incline Village is only minutes away, where you will find restaurants catering to every taste and budget. There are also many fine restaurants located between Incline Village & Tahoe City.
We recommend that you have a car- This will allow you to travel easily to all the ski resorts. Shuttles are also available.
