Four Seasons Whistler

When it comes to the big mountains, the coveted hotels tend to be slope-side. But in Whistler, being right in the heart of the action may not be your best bet.

In fact, Whistler’s best spot to stay is located ‘off-piste’, at the Four Seasons Whistler. Though the Fairmont is right on Blackcomb mountain, and the Hilton and Delta are slopeside of Whister, it’s the Four Seasons that manages to make your ski days about more than just snow.

Rooms are large and full of natural sunlight, with plenty of views of the mountain, and plenty of closet space for your plethora of ski outfits. For those travelling with family, adjoining rooms and suites liken your hotel stay to a villa rental. It’s worth noting that the decor is classic ski chalet, but pull on your wooly sweater and you’ll fit right in.

This is the Four Seasons, so you know you’re really here for the service. The hotel ski concierge is one of the best; staff will bring your skis or snowboard to the hill of your choice in the morning, and will meet you at the end of the day with your Uggs and a hot chocolate. For those in especially cumbersome ski boots, imagine enjoying apres in the comfort of your own shoes? I don’t think it gets any better. And if you’re wise, you’ll be heading to the Fifty Two 80 bar located in the Four Seasons for their “Seven Days of Apres” after ski entertainment—Fridays with the Hairfarmers should not be missed.

If you need a day off the slopes (or away from the shops), visiting the in-house spa is the best choice. It’s the perfect way to recuperate from the epic shredding you’ve been doing. Just looking at their hot tub makes me long for a hot chocolate, or perhaps a Kokanee.

Diane Ring is currently way, way off-piste in Toronto, but Whistler still awaits the spring skier.
