Once the pinnacle of luxury and class in Virginia City, Nevada, the Tahoe House Hotel recalls all of its former splendor as it once again welcomes guests as they pass through the Sierra Nevada. No detail has been overlooked in this beautiful, historic building. You will rarely find a more unique experience; old meets new when antique beds, and classic décor are combined with modern amenities like en suite bathrooms, running water, and internet connection.

The beautiful building is located in the heart of historic Virginia City, near countless other museum and adventure opportunities. A friendly and eager staff is on hand to ensure every visitor to the Tahoe House Hotel has the best possible experience, whether it's a relaxing getaway, a meeting, a family event, or a hiking and outdoor trip.

The Tahoe House Hotel once hosted the best and brightest of Victorian society, including beloved American writer Mark Twain. Twain played no small part in popularizing the Nevada and Sierra Nevada as we know it today. Guests are encouraged to enjoy an evening beverage whilst partaking in some honky-tonk piano from house Pianist ‘Squeek’ or lucky patrons may see the man himself, Mark Twain (played by renowned impersonator MacAvoy Lane) wandering one of his favorite old haunts. Certainly a beautiful and timeless place of lodging fit for the king of American literature.
