Best Luxury Hotels In Whistler

High in the mountains of British Colombia, lies one of the biggest ski resorts in North American territory. The town itself is compact, made up primarily of chalets, with the kind of cuteness that’s led to it being used widely on the large and small screens. An Olympic Park was built for the 2010 Winter Games (held chiefly in nearby Vancouver) providing copious facilities for ski-jumping, snowboarding, bobsled and tobogganing, as well as the resort’s main pastime, skiing. But it’s not all snow, lake watersports are popular, as are hiking, golf, ziplining, off-roading and bear spotting.

The prestigious property is one of 20 Fairmont Hotels in the country and was designed in a chateau-style. Be sure to enjoy some pamper time at Vida Spa and tuck into juicy steaks or seafood at the Grill Rooms. 519 rooms are spread across 12 floors, with 41 interconnecting rooms available.
