Lonely Planet review

If only the best will do (and you have the budget to cover it), this palatial Fairmont property is possibly the swankiest in Whistler. Despite all the money lavished on its opulent, baronial-look interiors, there's a snob-free but highly professional staff that will cater to your every platinum-carded whim.

This uber-elegant 550-room sleepover, standing sentinel near the base of Blackcomb, recalls the old 'northern castle' properties built across Canada in the early days of the railway era. The baronial-chic lobby has roaring fireplaces, arts and crafts light fittings and impossibly high ceilings. Rooms are tastefully furnished with West Coast classic elegance (think fireplaces and repro antiques), there's a sophisticated spa with a full menu of treats and a winning array of chichi bars and fine-dining options to tempt the most reluctant spenders. Located discreetly away from the regular Whistler rabble in Upper Village, it's easy to feel salubriously isolated here. Guests even have their own on-site shops - pick-up a deerskin hat for the road. You're close enough to the lifts here to enjoy ski-in/ski-out privileges.
