Combine convenience and comfort with a stay in the penthouse of the Ritz-Carlton at Northstar, the only AAA Five Diamond mountain hotel in California. Occupying the hotel’s top floor, this eight-guest penthouse apartment offers privacy and tranquility, along with full access to the hotel’s facilities.

Local guide


About Carnelian Bay

On the border of California and Nevada, Lake Tahoe is one of the largest bodies of water in the US. As you'd expect, it's an area of astounding beauty, but the lake has also made a name for itself as a centre for both winter sports and water sports, as well as hiking and cycling. The north shore is a bit quieter and more relaxed than the south. While there's still plenty to do (including the annual food and wine festival), you're unlikely to see crowds like you do in other parts of the region.
