Renaissance Reno Downtown Hotel & Spa
Riverfront mountain views with a romantic spa atmosphere
Reno, Reno
About this stay
The Renaissance sits directly on the Truckee River, a 10-minute drive from Reno-Tahoe International Airport, with rooms framed by Sierra Nevada Mountain views and a flat-screen TV in every en suite bathroom setup. A seasonal outdoor pool and a fitness centre cover downtime, and the spa and wellness centre adds a romantic touch rare among Reno's downtown hotels. Pets are allowed, and room service handles meals without leaving the room when a quiet night in is the goal. An outdoor fireplace on the sun terrace extends the evening once the desert air cools down after sunset, and free WiFi and facilities for disabled guests cover the practical side. The National Automobile Museum is a 5-minute walk away (the riverfront and mountain-view combination gives this property a resort feel despite sitting in the heart of downtown Reno).

- Spa and wellness centre
- Seasonal outdoor pool
Our take
This suits couples wanting a romantic, spa-forward downtown base with real mountain views, plus pet owners who want a four-star property. The riverfront setting beats a standard downtown block for atmosphere. Budget-focused travelers or large families on a tight schedule should look toward the airport-area hotels instead, since the spa positioning comes with a higher price point.
- Request a mountain-facing room specifically, the Sierra Nevada views do not come with every room category.
- Book the spa ahead of a weekend stay, it fills up with both hotel guests and locals.
- Walk to the National Automobile Museum in the morning, it is 5 minutes and beats the midday crowds.
Why we love it
- Sierra Nevada Mountain views from the room
- Truckee riverfront location
- Spa and wellness centre on site
- 5-minute walk to the Auto Museum
Why guests love itThe Renaissance Reno Downtown sits on the Truckee River with Sierra Nevada mountain views, and I see it more as a spa hotel for adults than a family address. Families can still use the seasonal outdoor pool in summer, and the National Automobile Museum, a 5-minute walk away, makes a good outing with children. Pets are allowed. The 7.5 rating from 55 reviews is modest, so I would book it mainly for its riverside location.
