SCOUT REVIEW
Grand Residences by Marriott in Heavenly is one of those places that manages to blend luxury, comfort, and location in just the right way. Sitting right at the base of the Heavenly Gondola, it’s hard to beat for ski access—simply step outside, grab your gear from the ski valet, and you’re on your way up the mountain within minutes.
The accommodations here are designed like upscale condos, with full kitchens, spacious living areas, and cozy fireplaces—perfect for warming up after a day on the slopes. Studios are ideal for couples, while the one- and two-bedroom suites comfortably fit families or groups. Many units come with private balconies offering views of the Sierra Nevada peaks or the bustling Heavenly Village below.
The property feels more like a residence club than a traditional hotel, offering self-sufficiency without sacrificing resort amenities. The outdoor heated pool and dual hot tubs are highlights, particularly in the winter months when steam rises against a snowy backdrop. Guests can also unwind at the on-site spa or keep active in the modern fitness center.
While there’s no restaurant within the property itself, the location couldn’t be better for dining and après-ski options. Heavenly Village is right outside your door, with plenty of bars, restaurants, and shops to explore. Lake Tahoe’s waterfront is just a short stroll away, and casinos are across the state line in Nevada for those who want a little nightlife.
In short, Grand Residences by Marriott, Heavenly is a top pick for travelers who want the flexibility of a condo stay with all the convenience of a slopeside resort.
Who should stay here
Perfect for families, couples, and groups seeking ski-in convenience, home-style comfort, and immediate access to Heavenly’s lifts, village, and après-ski scene.

About Heavenly
Heavenly Mountain Resort is ginormous – a whopping 4800ac (1943ha) makes it the biggest ski area in California. In keeping with the terrain, the party scene is equally as big - a ski holiday here might be the type where you need to take a holiday afterwards to recover. But families shouldn’t be afraid of coming here either. The mountain is certainly big and diverse enough for everyone to enjoy.
