“A grand and striking Chateau perfectly placed at the base of Whistler Blackcomb mountain's Gondola. The rooms are exactly what you would imagine from a chic mountain hotel, wood furnishing and spectacular views of the mountains. The Chateau has every amenity you could think of, and fantastic food.”

Hotel review

Stepping into Fairmont Chateau Whistler feels immediately special - classic, elegant mountain lodge luxury set against snow-capped peaks. The 519 rooms embrace classic alpine style with panoramic windows offering memorable views - choose Woodlands, Whistler Valley, Rainbow Mountain, or Blackcomb Mountain vistas. Nice touches: yoga mats, thick cotton bathrobes, and windows that open for fresh mountain air. Suites are particularly splendid, decked in leather, stone, marble and wood, while Fairmont Gold offers a bougie hotel-within-a-hotel experience.

Ski-in/ski-out access to Blackcomb Mountain puts 8,171 acres of terrain at your doorstep - 200+ marked runs, 16 alpine bowls, and 3 glaciers spread across two side-by-side mountains. Finish your last run and literally swap skis for hot chocolate, while the on-site rental shop makes gear swaps effortless. Summer transforms these peaks into hiking and world-class biking terrain.

The Mountainside Vida Spa is stunning, with outdoor heated pools, individual cabin saunas, jacuzzis, and cocktail service, plus Mother Earth Essentials treatments celebrating indigenous practices. Mosy up to the Fairmont Gold Lounge on the 8th floor for complimentary drinks and snacks (members only), or sink into a sofa in the iconic Mallard Lounge, buzzing with après-ski energy. For dining, The Grill Room serves chops, steak, and seafood, while family-friendly Wildflower rethinks the classics.

This remains North America's quintessential luxury mountain retreat, where crackling fires and adjoining restaurants and boutiques satisfy deep-pocketed travellers.
