People Magazine: 100-Year-Old Celebrity Destination Will Reopen Next Year

Published May 15, 2026

People magazine profiles the impending revival of the Cal Neva Resort, the legendary Lake Tahoe property once owned by Frank Sinatra that served as a glamorous gathering place for Hollywood's elite in the 1960s. The article recounts how Sinatra owned the resort from 1960 to 1968, drawing regulars including Marilyn Monroe, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and John F.
