Five Diamond mountain resort at Northstar with the region's largest spa
The Ritz-Carlton sits at the base of Northstar California with ski-in/ski-out access that defines its winter identity, but the property operates as a four-season mountain resort with particular appeal for summer golf trips. The 17,000-square-foot spa is the largest in the region. Two heated outdoor pools, fireplaces in every room, and three restaurants round out a property that meets the AAA Five Diamond standard.
At 170 rooms, the hotel is large enough to accommodate groups without feeling crowded during the summer season, when occupancy runs lower than the ski months.
Old Greenwood is approximately ten miles away, and Gray's Crossing is even closer, sitting directly adjacent to the Northstar base area. Coyote Moon and Tahoe Donner are within fifteen minutes. Edgewood on the south shore is roughly twenty-five miles, about forty-five minutes depending on traffic. This is the strongest base for groups prioritizing the Truckee corridor while maintaining luxury-tier accommodations.
Groups that want Ritz-Carlton service standards as their daily baseline while playing the Truckee courses. The proximity to Gray's Crossing and Old Greenwood makes it the natural luxury choice for the north shore. Non-golfing companions benefit from the spa and pool facilities without needing to leave the property.
