The Spotlight on Gondola Lodge

Cozy Vibes Just Steps from Heavenly Village

Modern mountain charm meets laid-back comfort at Gondola Lodge, a South Lake Tahoe favorite located just a short walk from the heart of the action. With its rustic-luxe rooms featuring fireplaces and jetted bathtubs, this lodge is perfect for winding down after a night of live music or casino hopping. You'll be just 1575 feet from Heavenly Village and less than a mile from Tahoe Queen.

Whether you're here for a ski trip or a summer concert series, Gondola Lodge offers a welcoming space with free WiFi and easy access to local attractions.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just minutes from South Lake Tahoe’s best venues and casinos, Gondola Lodge is ideal for fans who want to stay close to the music—but still enjoy a quiet night’s rest. With check-in at 4:00 PM and a peaceful atmosphere, it’s a solid base whether you’re catching a sunset set at the lake or a late-night set at the casino. The lodge’s close proximity to Heavenly Village means you can walk to dining, entertainment, and transport options without needing a car.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Solo travelers seeing a favorite artist at nearby venues
  • Couples looking for a romantic weekend with music and mountain views
  • Fans needing recovery space—fireplaces and jetted tubs are perfect for that
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want location and comfort

Food and Drink Options

While the lodge doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, you’ll be within easy walking distance of plenty of eateries in Heavenly Village. From grab-and-go tacos to sit-down bistros, there’s something for every post-show craving. Late-night dining is readily available nearby, and many spots serve breakfast late—ideal for sleeping in after a long night.

Nightlife Options

  • Head to nearby Heavenly Village for live music, lounges, and lively bars
  • Casinos just a 3-minute drive away offer entertainment well into the night
  • Prefer to keep it chill? Many guests love unwinding fireside in their suite with a local drink

What People Say

  • “Unbeatable location—everything was walkable”
  • “Quiet, clean, and cozy—exactly what I needed post-show”
  • “Staff were friendly and helpful with local tips”

Areas for Improvement

The 8:00 AM check-out time is a bit early for those who’ve been up late enjoying the Tahoe nightlife—set an alarm if you’re not an early riser! Also, while there’s no on-site restaurant, the nearby options more than make up for it.

The Bottom Line

Gondola Lodge is a charming, well-located retreat that’s perfect for concert-goers looking for comfort, convenience, and a touch of luxury post-show.

Very pleasant stay in a...

Liked: The room was very nice and included a small little back area to sit in private if desired as well as seats in front of the room. A huge plus for us was the gated parking to provide even more sense of security. The location was the absolute best! Walking distance to shops and weekend entertainment, plus a nice 10 minute walk to a private beach section of the lake. What really was the best was the service, the on-site person is a great bonus, but the manager of the property checking in about halfway through our time there making sure everything was still going well or what they could do to make it better was really great and made us feel like we were appreciated. The place was in a quiet section as well so it was nice to come back after walking all day and just relax. Definitely will come back and stay here!

Passable

Liked: Nice area, the outside was good. Hot plate was pretty cool.
Disliked: Not very clean, old, dishwasher and cabs need finish work. The fridge was small, the freezer needs to be thawed, the shower was not clean, and the toilet paper holder was on the floor. I fixed it, but needs better repair. Bed was terrible, with no box frame. Towels were like Terry clothes thin and old. One of 2 times, I have done a review of this type, and I travel constantly through booking, and the rating did not reflect the room.

Great stay for two days...

Liked: I could walk to the gondola. Property was clean. Had good communication with host.
Disliked: Be respectful of noise, some noisy guests were walking at late night and woke me up. Most buildings in South Lake Tahoe are prone to be noisy, so let’s be respectful and minimize it!
