There are plenty of Palisade Tahoe hotels and lodging options on-mountain that are typically upscale and offer the convenience of staying right near the slopes. More economical options are to stay in towns such as
Truckee and
Tahoe City or the city of
Reno Nevada. Another option is to stay on-mountain at
Northstar and commute across to Palisades Tahoe for day trips.
Palisades Tahoe Lodging (Olympic Village)
The Village at Palisades Tahoe lodging is a handful of resort-managed upscale condo buildings located right in the village. Building 1 is located right opposite the funitel and tram, whilst the other buildings are just a very short walk to get to the lifts. The
Village at Palisades Tahoe includes hotel rooms, and 1, 2, and 3 bedroom condos/apartments.
The village area also has several other Palisades Tahoe hotels and lodging options, however most do come with a premium price tag, especially those that are close to being ski-in/ski-out. If you are willing to walk for a few minutes across the parking lot, the
Olympic Village Inn provides some reasonably priced accommodations.

It is a substantial city with over 200,000 people and is the second largest city in Nevada behind Las Vegas. Here you will find an abundant number of restaurants, bars and casinos. So if nightlife is a priority this is a great option.
Winter is actually the off-season so you can get some absolute bargains when it comes to lodging.

South Lake Tahoe Accommodations (37 miles, 1 hour drive)
It is also feasible to base yourself in South Lake Tahoe (at the base of Heavenly Resort) where you will find a vast range of accommodations at varying budgets.
California Side
The Californian side in South Lake Tahoe has some older establishments including hotels and motels. Access to the
