Location
Truckee, California
Scale
109 guestrooms over four stories
Late last year, one of AXIS’ most recent upscale boutique soft-branded hotel conversion and renovation projects, the Martis Valley Lodge, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, quietly celebrated its completion and grand opening. A boutique mountain retreat located in Truckee, California, the project saw AXIS transform a former Hampton Inn into a new 109-room contemporary lodge-style hospitality destination authentically inspired by the natural beauty of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Contributing to the activation of lead design firm and interior designers Atwater Inc. Studio’s creative direction for the property, the project repositioned the property from a conventional select service hotel into a distinctive boutique lodge. Heavily inspired by the changing seasons of the Sierra Nevada and the sports-focused sensibilities that define the Lake Tahoe region, guest spaces and public areas are designed to reflect the rhythms of mountain life. From winter skiing to summer hiking and lake activities, spaces are pragmatically designed to serve as a basecamp for year-round exploration.
The renovation significantly upgrades the guest experience throughout the property. The refreshed lodge now features redesigned guestrooms with spa-inspired bathrooms, as well as reimagined communal areas that encourage social gathering and relaxation after a day in the mountains. Amenities including the new Trailhead Social bar, an outdoor firepit lounge, modernized pool deck, and updated meeting facilities help position the hotel as both a recreation and event destination in the greater Truckee and Lake Tahoe region.
