Tucked away in the heart of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe offers a rustic yet elegant oasis for both the adventurous traveler and retreat aficionado. Offering gorgeous mountain views, a crystal-clear lake, legendary skiing, a slopeside spa, and exceptional dining, this luxurious California resort offers something for everyone – all while adjacent to the beautiful alpine backdrop of Lake Tahoe.
In June 2023, Continental Contractors began a four-month guest room renovation, upscaling 188 guest rooms and suites across five floors, as well as the hotel’s Club Lounge – Phase One of an extensive property renovation for The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe.
To achieve the desired aesthetic of contemporary elegance and rustic sophistication, Continental expertly installed 16×16” black ash stone flooring, new window treatments, fresh paint, updated vinyl wall coverings, plush carpeting, and a sophisticated case good and FF&E package. Bathrooms were also upgraded with modern vinyl wall coverings, fresh paint, new accessories, and meticulously polished marble. Hotel suites were refreshed with elegant window treatments, new paint, vinyl wall coverings, modern bath accessories, and refined marble.
Continental also transformed the popular, yet dated, Club Lounge with a complete overhaul of the space. It now touts a revitalized storefront, comprehensive millwork package, updated flooring, and stylish new tile work, showcasing elegant new marble and stone finishes throughout.
In the fall of 2023, Continental Contractors moved on to Phase Two of this massive renovation, which included an extensive upgrade of the resort’s public spaces. One standout feature was the conversion of hotel office space into a Topgolf Swing Suite, an interactive simulator offering more than 84 golf courses, three engaging golf target games, as well as eight non-golf activities.
Additional renovations have revitalized the lobby boutique, market, spa, lobby, living room and bar, meeting spaces, fitness center, restaurant, and the outdoor cabana area, all of which were updated with top-tier finishes and masterfully installed design features. The overall transformation of The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe created a sophisticated and inviting atmosphere for all guests. The total renovation took 19 months and was completed in December 2024.
