Fairmont Chateau Whistler
Whistler, British Columbia, Canada

Official star rating:
This posh, castle-esque hotel is set on tree-lined grounds outside the bustle of Whistler’s main village – yet the slopes are just a five-minute walk away. From the lofty wood-beamed ceiling in the lobby to the stone fireplaces in the bedrooms, the hotel has a cosy, mountain lodge vibe.
The hotel’s pool complex is one of the best in Whistler, featuring an indoor-outdoor swimming pool, adults-only lap pool (complete with underwater music), hot tubs, and eucalyptus steam rooms – plus plenty of lounging space for soaking up the mountain vistas.
Families are well taken care of, with free kids’ meals at the hotel’s highly-rated restaurants.
About the resort
Together, Whistler and Blackcomb form the largest ski area in North America – 8,171 skiable acres, almost 1,000 more than the next biggest, Park City. Whistler is a lively and dynamic resort, and in many respects – its great mix of bars and restaurants, expansive terrain and splendid scenery – is much like an Alpine resort.
Its slopes are brilliantly varied; there are seriously steep chutes and fast cruisers alongside excellent nursery slopes, with some of the finest snowparks in the world. There are dedicated ‘family zones’ too, for children to hone their skills on easy terrain.
