Who it’s NOT for: Budget and value travelers — it's a top-of-market luxury resort, the region's ski splurge. Travelers who want to be ON the lake — it's up the mountain at Northstar, not lakefront. Casino/nightlife seekers — it's a calm forested resort; the Stateline neon is on the far South Shore. Beach-first summer families who want sand at the door — the lake and its beaches are a drive down the mountain. Anyone needing guaranteed step-free access without checking first (see D-013 note).
Biggest surprise: the ski-and-spa package — ski valet and gondola access to Northstar, a full spa, and Manzanita's fine dining, wrapped in a quiet forest setting rather than a lakefront scene.
Worth the money? for a ski splurge that wants luxury and a spa at the mountain, or a forested luxe couple's retreat — yes.
Best room: a forest/mountain-view room is the setting; higher categories and suites add space and slope proximity. Exact current room categories/naming to confirm on ritzcarlton.com. Not verified firsthand.
