Gurney’s Resorts expands to the West Coast with the acquisition of the Beach Retreat and Lodge in South Lake Tahoe, Calif. The property will undergo a comprehensive, multi-year renovation and debut as Gurney’s Lake Tahoe Resort & Spa in spring 2027.
“Lake Tahoe has long represented an unparalleled blend of natural beauty and recreational opportunity, and we are thrilled to bring the Gurney’s vision of world-class resort experiences to this iconic location,” Gurney’s Resorts President Michael Nenner said in a statement. “This pivotal expansion west is a perfect complement to our flagship Montauk property, establishing Gurney’s as a premier bicoastal luxury resort brand. We are excited to deliver a completely reimagined, high-touch, year-round experience in Lake Tahoe for guests and the local community.”
The transition and extensive capital improvements will immediately begin at the South Lake Tahoe waterfront location. Upon opening, Gurney’s Lake Tahoe Resort & Spa will have 206 guestrooms and suites, and have Gurney’s signature experiences like new food and beverage concepts, a transformative spa, refreshed banquet and event spaces, and private beach and marina access.
Gurney’s Lake Tahoe will serve as a sister property to the flagship Gurney’s Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa on Long Island, New York’s east end. Situated on a stretch of Montauk oceanfront, the year-round Hamptons resort is renowned for its expansive private beach, new signature restaurant gigi’s montauk, and its Seawater Spa - the only ocean-fed seawater spa in North America.
