Northstar (Truckee) · Bach Weekends
Seventeen treatment rooms mid-mountain at Northstar — eucalyptus steam, dry-heat lodge, and an outdoor heated lap pool.
for the wedding weekend
The bridal-party morning or the day-two recovery: book the treatment block, then live in the steam room.
The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Lake Tahoe is the region's benchmark spa day: seventeen treatment rooms mid-mountain at Northstar, wrapped in amenities that reward arriving early — a eucalyptus steam room, a dry-heat lodge, whirlpool tubs, rainforest showers, and an outdoor heated lap pool with the Sierra doing the scenery. Treatments run the full menu from couples massages to facials, body wraps, and therapy baths.
For wedding weekends it slots in twice: the getting-ready morning for the bridal party (appointments required — book the block early) and the day-after recovery session for anyone who closed down the reception. Open daily 9:30 to 5:30.
