The official groundbreaking ceremony has taken place for Lake Tahoe’s first five-star luxury hotel — the 173-room The Ritz-Carlton Highlands, Lake Tahoe at Northstar-at- Tahoe ski resort in North Lake Tahoe. The new $300-million resort project is slated to open in late 2009.
The new luxury property will include The Ritz-Carlton (full-ownership) Residences; The Ritz-Carlton Club, offering residences for deeded fractional ownership; and a world-class spa, several pools, and on-site meeting and event space. These amenities will be connected by a new gondola to the Village at Northstar(TM) condominium residences, shops, restaurants and ice rink.
Northstar-at-Tahoe is in the midst of an extensive mountain improvement plan, which includes two new lifts, relocating the cross-country ski center, expanding its snowmaking system, adding new parking lots and additional terrain.
“Lake Tahoe is a spectacular area with great weather, an incredible lake, and wonderful skiing, particularly at Northstar-at-Tahoe, which has been ranked fifth in North America for its family programs,” said Harry Frampton, founder and managing partner of developer East West Partners. “The new hotel, residences and club will fit perfectly into the gorgeous, mid-mountain setting shared by our other properties. We believe we are creating a renaissance of development in Lake Tahoe.”
“The hotel’s design will pay tribute to the great environmental spirit of Northern California, and will incorporate native granite stone, local timber and other building materials native to the Sierra Nevada-Lake Tahoe region,” said a company spokesperson.
