The Lodge at Edgewood Tahoe is home to 154 luxury rooms and suites— many with spectacular views of Lake Tahoe, the largest alpine lake in North America.

The Lodge is designed to embrace the feeling of the Grand Lodges of the American West while 'elevating the level of luxury'.

The living room has 38-foot-tall floor to roof windows overlooking a paved terrace to the lawn, beach, lake and the mountains beyond.

Hyatt Regency Sonoma Wine Country

The Hyatt Regency Sonoma Wine Country completed a redesign in late 2018, to add 90 guestrooms and overhaul its 40,000 square feet of event spaces, lobby and public areas.

Located in the heart of Sonoma in Downtown Santa Rosa's Historic Railroad Square, the Hyatt Regency Sonoma Wine Country's interiors pay homage to Sonoma's laidback luxury lifestyle.

The hotel's new design uses earthy colours and textures as well as natural accents.

The lobby features handcrafted details, rustic touches and layering of wood tones, brushed metals and woven textures.

Sands Hotel and Spa, Greater Palm Springs

The Sands Hotel and Spa, located down valley in Indian Wells, is a new boutique hotel.

This '50s hotel, located between Palm Desert and La Quinta recently got a glam reboot, unveiling its pink-and-patterned look with a nod to both old Hollywood design and Moroccan elements.

The Pink Cabana restaurant is modelled after tennis clubs from the '50s and '60s, and features seasonal Mediterranean-inspired fare along with an inventive drinks list, while the three-treatment-room spa is centred around naturally-sourced products from Morocco.
