Everline Resort & Spa — the landmark Resort at Squaw Creek renamed under Hyatt's destination flag — is Olympic Valley's complete package: a 405-room resort stacked against the meadow with the Palisades Tahoe peaks filling every window, its own Squaw Creek chairlift linking straight into the ski resort, and the valley's best amenity spread. The waterfall-fed pool complex (year-round, with winter steam rising), championship golf through the meadow, a full spa, ice rink and groomed cross-country network in winter, fly-fishing ponds and hiking in summer, and a stack of restaurants make it the base that never requires leaving. Rooms run hotel kings to full fireplace suites with kitchens. Families and ski-trippers' North Shore workhorse — booked directly through Hyatt.
The 1990-built Resort at Squaw Creek defined the Olympic Valley full-service formula — a terraced resort rising from the meadow with the granite of KT-22 and the Palisades ridgeline as its wallpaper — and its 2023 rebirth as Everline Resort & Spa brought renovated rooms and Hyatt's destination-brand polish to the same unbeatable position: the only hotel with its own chairlift (the Squaw Creek triple) feeding directly into Palisades Tahoe's terrain, no village shuffle required.
The amenity list is the valley's longest. The pool terrace is the postcard: a waterfall-linked complex of heated pools, slides, and hot tubs running year-round — swimming in the steam while snow falls on the peaks is the resort's signature memory. Winter adds the ice rink, 18km of groomed cross-country and snowshoe trails out the door, ski valet and rental shop at the lift; summer converts the valley floor to the Links golf course (Robert Trent Jones Jr.
threading the meadow), fly-fishing ponds, mountain-bike and hiking trailheads, and chairlift rides up the shoulder. The spa, fitness center, and six food-and-drink outlets (Stellar's fine dining to the pool bar) round the clock.
Rooms span standard kings through one- and two-bedroom fireplace suites with kitchenettes — the suite tiers are the family play, sleeping crews with breakfast solved — most with meadow or peak views that make the curtains irrelevant. The Village at Palisades, with its tram and restaurant row, sits five minutes away (shuttles run), Tahoe City's lakefront fifteen. It's the valley's conference-and-family flagship, which means summer weekends and powder weeks book early and shoulder seasons hide genuine value.

Good questions
Is this the old Resort at Squaw Creek?+
Yes — renamed Everline Resort & Spa under Hyatt's destination brand in 2023, with renovated rooms and the same singular asset: its own chairlift directly into Palisades Tahoe.
Does the pool really run in winter?+
Year-round — the heated waterfall pool complex steams through snowfall, and the swim-while-it-snows hour is the resort's signature.
How does it compare to staying in the Village?+
The Village puts you at the tram and restaurant row; Everline trades that for resort amenities (pools, golf, rink, spa, space) with its own lift and shuttles bridging the five minutes. Families overwhelmingly choose the resort.
