4-star hotels in Reno
A shortlist of 4-star hotels in Reno, from the casino resorts on Virginia Street to apartments and houses near the river and Midtown. It is for travellers choosing between a downtown casino floor and a quieter self-catering base within reach of the Sierra.
Staying in Reno
Reno is a city of 265,000 on the Truckee River, with a genuine downtown rather than a Strip. A kayak whitewater park sits in the middle of the casino district, the University of Nevada campus is a mile north, and the Sierra Nevada rises 40 miles west. The Riverwalk between Arlington and Virginia is the good stretch, with breweries, the Nevada Museum of Art and the river beach at Wingfield Park. The Midtown District south of Liberty Street has taken over the food and drink scene.
The casino resorts here line South Virginia Street and the downtown blocks around North Virginia and Sierra Street: Peppermill, Atlantis, Grand Sierra, and the connected Eldorado, Silver Legacy and Circus Circus. The apartments and houses sit closer to the river and Midtown — West Liberty Street in Riverside Heights, Riverside Drive on the Riverwalk, Island Avenue and Charles Drive. Couples and short-break visitors tend to want the downtown resorts; families and longer stays get more room and a kitchen from the houses and apartments; business travellers have the large resorts with business centres and the closest downtown addresses.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Reno sits on the Truckee River in northern Nevada, 40 minutes from Lake Tahoe. Downtown is walkable: start at the Reno Arch on Virginia and Commercial Row, walk south past the Eldorado, cut east to the Truckee River at Sierra Street, then follow the Riverwalk east past Wingfield Park and the whitewater course to Arlington. Cross the river, head south on Virginia through downtown into Midtown and end at Süp at 500 South Virginia. Rose Highway and an hour to South Lake Tahoe via US 50; snow chains or 4WD are required November through April on the Mt. Rose route, so check road conditions before you commit.
When to go
Reno sits at 4,500 feet on the eastern slope of the Sierra, so summers are dry and hit 95°F in July, while winters are cold and clear with lows near 20°F. Pack layers whatever month you land. Autumn Saturdays bring Wolf Pack football traffic and student bars along North Virginia, since the university is a mile north of the arch. If the lake is the draw, remember snow chains or 4WD are required November through April on the Mt. Rose route to Incline Village.
