June is the perfect time to visit Lake Tahoe in the summer. The weather is warm but the crowds have not arrived.

Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort & Casino

Incline Village, Nevada

We have again selected the Hyatt Resort because of its spectacular location on the north shore close to the beach, the lake and all the fun activities.

Discover an alpine paradise at Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa and Casino. Nestled within the Sierra Mountain Range, the stunning locale of this Four Diamond Lake Tahoe hotel is the ideal setting for year-round pampering. Take a cruise on one of our private boats, then tempt Lady Luck in the Casino. Ease tired muscles with a deep-tissue massage in our world-class spa, or bask in the sunshine on the private beach. Reconnect with family � and yourself � while enjoying the natural wonders in and around our remarkable Lake Tahoe, Nevada hotel. From delicious cuisine and inviting guestrooms to luxurious amenities and services, you'll experience an incomparable mountain escape at our Hyatt hotel in Lake Tahoe.

Stillwater Spa

Towering pines line a secluded beach, creating a perfect natural backdrop for contemplation and meditation at Stillwater Spa at Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe. Located in a deep mountain valley and surrounded by breathtaking lake vistas, it is the ideal place to relax and unwind. Enjoy a full menu of spa services from deep-tissue massage to cleansing facials.
