Courtesy Fairmont Chateau Whistler, Tal VardiUpon entering the large lodge-inspired grand lobby, guests are impressed by Fairmont Chateau Whistler from the very first steps. With tasteful art accenting the walls, soaring ceilings, and an appropriate mountain ambiance, Fairmont continues its commitment to excellence in both amenities and service at this Western Canada property.
The Fairmont Gold Experience is an absolute must while enjoying a stay. A hotel-within-a-hotel, the private check-in, concierge service, not to mention the bites, wine and cocktails, can all be enjoyed from the cozy nooks of the club lounge with mountain views and warm club atmosphere.
Fairmont Chateau Whistler is a playground for mountain enthusiasts, and for kids, an actual new playground is now on property. Pickleball is also popular on site, and locals and hotel guests alike can be found enjoying Fairmont Fridays May through end of October lounging on the grounds on oversized pillows. The Mallard is a perfect spot to order food to be enjoyed in this relaxing lawn during the 24-week program offering. For an exclusive and memorable dining experience, venture to The Clubhouse, with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, situated off the 18th hole. A four-season destination, the property is popular year-round with spring, summer, winter and fall activities available for an ever-changing scene.
Home to its own rooftop chapel, the hotel is a dreamlike venue for weddings year-round. A Chef’s Rooftop Garden and tented space for up to 300 guests accommodate a wide variety of wedding visions. The property is also home to three ballrooms and a conference wing, for more corporate meetings and gatherings.
Whistler is all about getting outside, and when you’re ready to tear yourself away from your stunning room, the Whistler Experience Guide is ready to elevate your trip. Guiding guests through a multitude of local experiences, small groups or personal tours encompass everything from paddle boarding at sunrise to walking guides of the village; a valley trail hike or enjoying a flight of beer at the Whistler Brewing Company. For the really adventurous winter guests, participate in a Polar Bear Lake Dip—this journalist will be found sipping hot cocoa in the Fairmont Gold lounge while you go enjoy that invigorating icy activity.
They say the three rules of real estate are: location, location, location and Fairmont Chateau Whistler excels in that department. Walking distance to the gondolas, the mountain views and proximity to the village make for an excellent setting. Radiante Taqueria Terrace, open during the summer, is an outdoor patio celebrating Mexican cuisine and cocktail culture. Under the sweeping boughs of a huge pine, chefs and servers busily prepare delicious snacks such as street corn, crab tostadas, and pasilla braised short rib tacos accompanied by margaritas and imaginative cocktails. It’s a perfect spot to take in the warmer months and luxuriate in the peaceful yet activated setting.
The Grill Room is steps away and the AAA Four Diamond-rated restaurant does not disappoint. With an emphasis on locally grown and sourced ingredients, the restaurant is consistently awarded for its culinary excellence and wine selection. Enjoy a prix fixe menu, or order a la carte from the seafood, land & skies, ocean or steak options on the menu. Make sure to leave room for dessert—the decadent offerings are delightful.
Home to over 500 rooms, Fairmont Chateau Whistler is an excellent stay in British Columbia’s Coast Mountain range. The outstanding service, luxury accommodations, year-round offerings, and picturesque setting all congregate for a memorable and magnificent experience.
