Larkspur Hotels & Restaurants Announces the Re-Branding of Larkspur Hotel Truckee-Tahoe

LARKSPUR, Calif., Dec. 3, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Larkspur Hotels & Restaurants, a Bay Area-based hospitality company, is pleased to announce that the Best Western Truckee Tahoe Lodge has been re-branded as Larkspur Hotel Truckee-Tahoe.  The 100-room hotel joins the company's Larkspur Hotels brand, a collection of three-star properties that break the mold of large chain hotels by offering charm and personality, while providing guests a base from which to take advantage of the array of activities that their respective areas have to offer; thus the brand's tagline "What Will You Do Today At A Larkspur Hotel?"  Current Larkspur Hotels include Larkspur Hotel Mill Valley and Larkspur Hotel Union Square, both of which are located in the San Francisco Bay Area.

"We are thrilled to welcome Tahoe area travelers to Larkspur Hotel Truckee-Tahoe," said Karl Hoagland, chairman of Larkspur Hotels & Restaurants.  "The Larkspur Hotels brand was designed to fill a niche for travelers looking for great value and quality services and amenities in destinations rich with attractions.  Larkspur Hotel Truckee-Tahoe will do just that for guests year round in a convenient location, close to the myriad of outdoor activities that the Tahoe area has to offer – from world class skiing and snowboarding to golfing, fly fishing, boating, mountain running, biking and more."

Located in the historically rich town of Truckee, California, Larkspur Hotel Truckee-Tahoe is set in the midst of an outdoor enthusiast's paradise, within minutes from some of Northern California's finest ski resorts, making the hotel an ideal winter destination.  During the summer months the Truckee-Tahoe area becomes a favorite spot for families and leisure travelers looking to soak up everything the Sierra's have to offer.

Having recently completed a renovation in 2010, Larkspur Hotel Truckee-Tahoe perfectly marries its picturesque High Sierra surroundings with a warm, relaxed style and ambiance.  Guests are greeted with Mountain-inspired decor, including slate floors, rustic finishes and accessories, and intriguing design elements such as barn-inspired doors and coat hooks made from antique skis.  In addition, guestrooms feature Larkspur's signature FeatherBorne® Bed, complimentary wireless Internet and iPod docking stations.  Guests also have access to the hotel's seasonal outdoor pool, sauna and exercise facility.    

The hotel is also home to Mountain Burrito Company, offering hearty burritos, salads, draft beers and wine.  Outfitted with LCD TV's, comfortable lounging areas and an exterior patio for the warm summer months, Mountain Burrito Company is an ideal gathering spot after a long day of hiking, biking or skiing down the mountains.

For meeting and events, Truckee Tahoe Lodge offers 1,095 square feet of event space, suitable for groups from six to 80 people.
