For the ultimate Lake Tahoe beach experience, check into the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort Spa and Casino. Whether you’re going for a family vacation or a romantic getaway, this property has it all. Situated at the tip of Tahoe’s north shore in Incline Village, Nevada, and recently renovated to the tune of $60 million, the hotel exudes a sense of rustic mountain elegance.

Within the confines of the property are a brand-new health spa and fitness club, mountain bike rentals, heated pool, private beach, summer water sports center (including waterskiing and catamaran sailing on the 55-foot Sierra Cloud) and, of course, because it is in Nevada, a 24-hour casino. Camp Hyatt’s babysitting program is available for children ages 3 to 12 with planned activities, video games, a playground and a wading pool.

Dining choices vary from a casual menu in Cutthroats Saloon to Ciao Mein Trattoria, serving a blend of Italian and Pacific Rim cuisines, to the Lone Eagle Grille with traditional fare and the best sunset lake view around. At the end of an
active day, there is no better place in the Lake Tahoe region, than on the Lone Eagle Grille patio to view the sunset. Adjacent to the grill is the Lakeside Lodge, with several meeting rooms—a popular venue for weddings, corporate functions and
family reunions.

The 26-acre property also boasts 24 lakeside cottages—a charming contrast to the high-rise Hyatt across the street. Seasoned and knowledgeable returning guests book these accommodations early, as they are in high demand.

Late spring/early summer room rates start at $205, with lakeside cottages starting at $555. For more information and to make reservations call 800.492.8804 or visit  laketahoe.hyatt.com. —N.W.
