Lake Tahoe, California
The Mtn Scout Truckee, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel
Marriott's Tribute Portfolio breaks ground on what's reported as Truckee's first upper-upscale, full-service hotel.
Announced · Early 2028
The Mtn Scout Truckee, a 129-room Tribute Portfolio hotel developed by Gray's Crossing Hospitality, broke ground in North Lake Tahoe in June 2025 and is targeting an early 2028 opening. It's reported as the first upper-upscale, full-service hotel in Truckee, with a design built around regional materials rather than a generic mountain-resort look.

The place
The hotel is planned on a greenfield site within Gray's Crossing, a golf community near Truckee on the north side of Lake Tahoe, a few minutes from downtown Truckee and Interstate 80.
The concept
The Mtn Scout Truckee broke ground on June 25, 2025 and is reported as the first upper-upscale, full-service hotel in Truckee — most of the town's existing lodging skews toward mid-market and budget chains. San Luis Obispo-based Andrew Goodwin Designs is the architect, with interiors and branding by Sixteenfifty Creative Intelligence; the firm's founder has described the project as built around 'regionalism first' rather than an imported mountain-lodge template. It will be managed by PM Hotel Group and join Marriott Bonvoy's Tribute Portfolio, a soft brand with no in-house design standard to follow.
Dining & wellness
Plans include a lobby-level restaurant and bar, an outdoor gathering area with fire pits, courtyard hot tubs, an event hall with a garden and patios, and Tunnel 6, a third-floor whiskey bar and lounge named for the summit tunnel built near Truckee for the transcontinental railroad. None of these venues has opened yet and no restaurant operator or chef has been named.
