Amid the snow-capped peaks of British Columbia, The Westin Resort & Spa, Whistler stands as a sanctuary where alpine grandeur meets contemporary comfort. Combining refined design with an unparalleled slopeside location, the resort is an ideal retreat for discovering Whistler’s year-round beauty. With 400 guestrooms and suites, the property sits steps from the gondolas and the lively Whistler Village, placing skiing, hiking, and golf right at every guest’s doorstep. Interiors blend soft neutral tones, warm wood, and modern lines to create a tranquil mountain ambiance; many rooms feature fireplaces or private balconies overlooking the mountains or village. Signature Westin Heavenly Beds® and Heavenly Bath® amenities ensure deep rest and renewal after a day in the alpine air.

Dining celebrates West Coast freshness and wellness-inspired flavors: Grill & Vine reinterprets contemporary Italian cuisine using local ingredients; FireRock Lounge provides a cozy fireside setting for craft cocktails and shareable bites; and Grab & Go Café serves artisanal coffee, smoothies, and light fare for guests heading outdoors. Leisure facilities include indoor and outdoor heated pools, whirlpools, saunas, and steam rooms, as well as a 24-hour fitness studio and the acclaimed Avello Spa & Health Club, offering massages, facials, and holistic therapies rooted in natural balance. With its prime location, intuitive service, and Westin’s “For a Better You” philosophy, The Westin Resort & Spa, Whistler is more than a mountain stay, it is an elevated journey that unites nature, wellbeing, and modern alpine luxury.

Beneath the majestic peaks of Whistler and Blackcomb, Fairmont Chateau Whistler rises like a storybook alpine castle amid the dramatic landscapes of British Columbia. Blending mountain grandeur with timeless luxury, this iconic retreat stands as one of North America’s most celebrated alpine destinations. The hotel features 519 elegantly appointed rooms and suites, all within walking distance of Whistler Village’s restaurants, boutiques, and gondola lifts, making it an ideal year-round haven for skiers, hikers, and golfers alike. Interiors combine natural wood, warm textiles, and stone accents to create a refined mountain-lodge ambience. Many rooms overlook the slopes, forest, or golf course, with large windows framing the ever-changing light of the Coast Mountains. Marble bathrooms with deep soaking tubs and walk-in showers embody Fairmont’s signature blend of comfort and sophistication.

Dining at the Chateau celebrates the flavors of the Pacific Northwest.

During winter, The Chalet delights guests with traditional fondue and Alpine-inspired dishes, while The Mallard Lounge and Terrace—the hotel’s social heart, offers handcrafted cocktails, live music, and cozy fireside warmth. Wellness seekers can unwind at Vida Spa, renowned for its Ayurvedic and aromatherapy treatments, or enjoy the indoor-outdoor pools, hot tubs, sauna, steam rooms, and state-of-the-art fitness center. Whether for a romantic escape, a family getaway, or an executive retreat, Fairmont Chateau Whistler defines mountain luxury at its most graceful—an extraordinary fusion of natural beauty, refined hospitality, and alpine adventure.

Four Seasons Resort & Residences Whistler spreads 273 rooms and suites plus 37 private residences across two stone-and-timber buildings at the base of Blackcomb Mountain, a short walk from the gondolas serving both peaks. Opened in 2004, designed by Burrowes Huggins Architects with interiors by Brayton & Hughes, the property pairs alpine rusticity with modern comfort: stone, dark wood and earth-toned fabrics run through every space, and a glass skywalk links the two wings above a courtyard. Every room has a gas fireplace and a balcony facing mountain, forest or courtyard views. The Summit Suite looks onto the ridgeline; the Blackcomb Suite adds a full kitchen for families. Travel + Leisure named it Canada's top resort for 2025. The Spa, back-to-back winner of the World Spa Awards for Canada's Best Resort Spa, houses 13 treatment rooms and partners with Sḵwálwen Botanicals to weave indigenous plant knowledge into its rituals.

Executive Chef Shiv Kappal brings 18 years of Four Seasons experience and a love of open-fire cooking to Whistler. SIDECUT Steakhouse anchors fine dining with hand-cut Canadian Prime steaks — wet-aged 40 days, dry-aged in-house up to 30 more, then grilled on infrared, alongside A5 olive-fed Wagyu. Braidwood Tavern shifts from morning bowls to craft-beer flights and après-ski cocktails by afternoon, then refined seafood by evening. The Library by The Macallan offers fireside single-malt flights for a third consecutive year. A vintage camper in the courtyard draws crowds for s'mores on cold nights. The 23-metre heated pool and three whirlpools stay open year-round, with the seasonal Campagne Pool Bar pouring champagne through summer. Whether you come to carve powder, hike trails or read by the fire, this resort proves mountain life can be both adventure and rest.
