Last night, the Caribbean’s most dazzling travel celebration unfolded at the elegant Sandals Grande St. Lucian, where the World Travel Awards Caribbean and North American Gala Ceremony 2025 honoured the finest in global hospitality. Among the standout winners was Edgewood Tahoe Resort, proudly named North America’s Leading Boutique Resort 2025—a title that reflects its unmatched blend of alpine luxury, lakeside serenity, and architectural brilliance.

Located on the pristine shores of Lake Tahoe, Edgewood Tahoe Resort is a sanctuary of sophistication nestled within the rugged beauty of the Sierra Nevada. It’s a place where towering pines meet crystal-clear waters, and where every detail—from the timber-framed architecture to the curated guest experiences—feels thoughtfully designed and deeply personal.
What Makes Edgewood Tahoe So Special?

Each room and suite offers panoramic views of Lake Tahoe or the surrounding mountains, with cozy fireplaces, spa-inspired bathrooms, and private terraces that invite guests to unwind in style.

The resort’s culinary offerings are a celebration of seasonal ingredients and mountain-inspired cuisine. Whether dining at the elegant Edgewood Restaurant or enjoying cocktails at Brooks’ Bar & Deck, guests are treated to flavours as rich as the views.
Here at Edgewood Tahoe, surprise is always on the menu. Playful, original flavors served in settings that include golf-inspired casual and an energetic bistro dining experience.

The Spa at Edgewood
A haven of tranquility, the spa features treatments inspired by the alpine environment—think stone massages, herbal wraps, and wellness rituals designed to rejuvenate body and soul.
Breathe, feel, relax, heal. Make friends with the serene while getting your body and mind back on speaking terms. The Forbes Travel Guide 4-Star rated Spa Edgewood is the ideal place to do it all. New and oh-so soothing additions to our already acclaimed menu of treatment offerings are our exclusive gemstone rituals. As the only spa in the region to provide these specialized, holistic massages, we utilize locally-sourced stones such as Smoky Quartz, to deepen the relationship between body and earth, leaving you feeling enlightened and wonderfully alive.

Championship Golf Course
Edgewood’s legendary golf course hugs the lake’s edge, offering not only a challenging game but also some of the most breathtaking fairway views in North America.
Golf is different up here. Beautifully so. But what do you expect when you’re playing at an altitude of more than 6,200 ft. on the shores of America’s most majestic alpine lake? From the first hole to the last, every Edgewood moment has been designed to provide you with one-of-a-kind challenges, natural marvels, and enduring championship-caliber memories.

Since its creation by George Fazio in 1968, and its later renovation by his nephew, world-renowned golf architect Tom Fazio, Edgewood has captured the imaginations and tested the mettle of golfers of all skill levels from around the globe. 1980’s USGA US Public Links Championship was held here, as was 1985’s US Senior Open Championship and it is home to the American Century Championship.

Rated as one of Golf Digest’s top public golf courses, Edgewood has welcomed some of the biggest names in the game. Players like Tiger Woods, Arnold Palmer, Phil Mickelson, John Daly, and Lee Trevino have all teed up here, adding their masterful strokes to this mighty legend on the lake.
