In 1958, The Royal Valhalla Motor Lodge was built across the street from the Lake, conveniently located near the casinos.
In 2011, this old 1 star hotel was purchased by businessman Jim Demetriades, with the goal of turning it into a luxurious 5 star resort. Tonight's Business After Hours Mixer showcased that very successful transformation into The Landing: Lake Tahoe Resort & Spa.
Volunteering with the Tahoe Chamber's Emily, I checked people in and enjoyed meeting a number of interesting guests.

Their view only added to the magicalness of the evening.
Many took this opportunity to savor the new place in town. We knew several of the attendees who came to be introduced to The Landing.
One of the desserts that thrilled me was the hot chocolate topped with a homemade marshmallow... Decadently delicious.
Afterward, several of us toured one of the lavish guest rooms. I had to document the marble bathroom with heated floors with lit and heated toilet seats. It was spectacular.
Owner Jim Demetriades said, "We've created The Landing out of our own desire for a five-star property located on the lake. We want to provide guests with luxurious accommodations that seamlessly integrate with the natural beauty of our unique lakeside setting."
After our time there, we felt Mr. Demetriades far surpassed his goal. Everyone left the event duly impressed.

That hot chocolate looks delicious! But I disagree with putting a toilet picture right after it.
