The mountains are calling: at Four Seasons Whistler, you can experience alpine life at its best. With world-class slopes in Canada's largest ski resort, huge glaciers, picturesque lakes and a lively mountain village, there's never a dull moment here, whatever the season. The comprehensively renovated resort offers modern rooms, elegant suites, and luxurious private residences, providing an idyllic retreat amid the magical mountain world of British Columbia. Create unforgettable memories on extensive hikes or while skiing and snowboarding, before recharging your batteries in the spa, fortifying yourself with a traditional Canadian poutine, and roasting marshmallows over the fire in the evening. With numerous child-friendly activities, fun for the whole family is guaranteed.
Treat yourself to a unique Canadian maple syrup and brown sugar scrub at the spa or relax in the year-round heated outdoor pool. The spacious fitness center is well-equipped and offers free classes in Pilates, spinning, yoga, circuit training, aerobics, and more. Off-site activities include running workouts at nearby Lost Lake, guided tours, biking, and hiking in the summer, and skiing, snowboarding, tobogganing, ski jumping, or snowshoeing in the winter. A ski concierge at the gondola at the end of the property makes it easy to access the mountains, and an efficient shuttle service or private driver will gladly take you to Whistler Village at any time, where you'll find a picturesque mountain village atmosphere with numerous charming shops. Tennis courts and several golf clubs, where you can enjoy discounted rates, are also nearby.
The resort's 273 spacious accommodations include beautiful guest rooms, luxurious suites, and large private residences with up to four bedrooms. All rooms feature a cozy gas fireplace and a balcony overlooking the snow-capped peaks or the resort with lush forest in the background. The interior is characterized by dark woods, neutral tones, and simple geometric shapes, and the elegant bathrooms are stocked with high-quality toiletries from L'Occitane. Families and groups looking for an exclusive living experience are best advised to choose one of the residences. Here, you can enjoy amenities such as open-plan living areas and private kitchens in complete privacy – perfect for feeling right at home.
The SIDECUT restaurant prides itself primarily on its magnificent steaks, but also offers pescetarian dishes such as cedar-wood-crusted salmon, Alaskan king crab, sashimi, oysters, and ceviche. If you're in a hurry, the Braidwood Café offers fresh pastries and coffee to go. After a long day on the slopes, the cozy Braidwood Tavern is the ideal place to end the evening. Here you can fortify yourself with sinful homemade poutine, which is a must on any visit to Canada, complemented by the best beers in the region – optionally as a tasting palette with 14 different varieties. Keep an eye out for special hotel promotions, such as wine tastings of British Columbia's finest vintages and traditional North American s'mores (toasted marshmallows and a piece of melted chocolate between two crispy cookies) prepared over a fire pit in the courtyard.
Opened in 2004 and extensively renovated in 2019, Four Seasons Resort and Residences Whistler is a luxurious, urban interpretation of a traditional mountain lodge, welcoming you away from the hustle and bustle in Whistler's Upper Village, north of Vancouver. All 273 accommodations feature modern interiors, cozy gas fireplaces, and balconies with breathtaking views of the mountains and forest. Contemporary art, wool blankets, leather sofas, faux calfskin lampshades, and high wooden beam ceilings contribute to an atmospheric alpine flair. In Canada's largest ski resort, you can enjoy everything the area has to offer: in addition to skiing and snowboarding, the area also offers snowshoeing, tobogganing, and ski jumping in Olympic Park, the venue for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. A ski concierge at the gondola at the end of the property makes it easy for you to access the mountains and is happy to advise you – with around 200 kilometers of slopes, you are spoiled for choice every day.
