Suite, 1 Bedroom, Fireplace

The suite has 1 King Bed in the bedroom and a Double Sofa Bed in the living area, so it sleeps up to four guests. The king bed has a pillowtop mattress and premium bedding, and a pillow menu is offered. A rollaway or extra bed can be added for a surcharge.

The suite is 800 sq. ft. with one bedroom. The living area and the bedroom are separate spaces, so one guest can stay up while another sleeps. The sofa bed sits in the living area, which makes the layout suit two couples or a small family.

The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe sits mid-mountain at Northstar California Resort, and this suite has mid-mountain views. The gas fireplace warms the living space after a day on the slopes. Blackout drapes in the bedroom help with sleeping in.

The private bathroom has a deep soaking bathtub and a separate shower. It comes with designer toiletries, bathrobes, slippers and a hair dryer. Towels and bed linens are changed on request.
