This all-season luxury resort has been Whistler's landmark hotel
since opening its doors in 1989 and was renovated in 2007. Guests
will discover a majestic chateau-style hotel with luxurious rooms,
a wide array of dining options, a full-service spa, and the
award-winning hotel golf club. The hotel has 550 rooms spread over
12 floors. The architectural mandate was to 'infuse the charm and
style of other Canadian chateaux built earlier in the century, into
a modern structure'; it is appointed with rustic Canadian antique
pieces representative of the country in its youth, which were
collected throughout eastern Canada and the Maritimes. The grand
décor brings the old and new together in a seamless meld of
historical style and modern beauty. It is air-conditioned and has a
lobby with 24-hour reception, a safe, currency exchange facility
and lift access. There is a shop, a bar, Internet access,
conference and parking facilities, bike hire, as well as room and
laundry services. This hotel participates "Green Partnerhip
