Reimagined Chateau Big Bear Welcomes Travelers After Extensive Renovation

Global Economic Press

In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady delves into the luxury hospitality sector with a focus on the newly reimagined Chateau Big Bear. Situated in the picturesque Big Bear Lake, California, this historic hotel has undergone a transformative three-year renovation, blending timeless elegance with modern mountain charm. Originally built in 1987 as the Big Bear Inn by Greek hotelier Paul Rizos, the property was renowned for its high-society gatherings and operatic events. The recent acquisition by an Australian hotelier family in 2021 has revitalized the Chateau, preserving its original grandeur while infusing contemporary comforts. Key elements such as the Portuguese marble in the lobby and handblown Murano glass chandeliers remain integral to its rich tapestry.

Chateau Big Bear now offers eighty renovated guestrooms and suites, designed to provide comfort and a connection to the natural surroundings. The property features a range of amenities, including a heated outdoor pool, hot tub, game room, fitness center, and private event facilities. Its proximity to Snow Summit and Bear Mountain ski resorts, along with a complimentary ski shuttle, makes it an ideal destination for winter sports enthusiasts. The hotel also provides access to various outdoor activities such as hiking, golf, biking, and sailing on Big Bear Lake. With additional design updates planned for early 2025, Chateau Big Bear continues to be a sought-after venue for events and retreats.
