Great property!

The Fairmont Chateau Whistler is a wonderful hotel with tons of charm. They are located right on the slopes, ski-in ski-out at Blackcomb. The onsite restaurant offers live music, tons of great food and they make their own specialty chocolates!

Middle of April and still winter

Once again my favorite hotel chain Fairmont does not disappoint. The rooms are vary spacious compared to most introductory rooms at other Fairmonts. They start at 300 square feet. The rooms and bathrooms are nicely appointed. The signature Fairmont beds are always a highlight. As always the service is top notch. You are always addressed by your name and asked if there is anything else you need or that can be done. The ski valet is just a flight of stairs to the ski slopes. Often someone is available to help up or down the stairs so you don't even have to worry about that. The multiple restaurant options from grab and go to high end mean you never have to leave the hotel. Of course Whistler Village has numerous other options but nice to know you don't need to leave. If you do want to go to the village it is a short 5-10 minute walk or the valets will drive you over in one of the many vehicles the hotel has. There is a designated lap pool and family pool along with multiple hot tubs sauna and steam rooms to relax in. It is one of the few pools in Whistler that has pool side drink service. I Highly recommend this property.

Ski in/out and perfect for families - Fairmont Chateau Whistler

<p>This past March I had the pleasure of staying a few nights at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler.&nbsp; This expansive ski in/out property sits right on the slopes at the base area of Blackcomb Mountain</p><p>The property includes tons of on-site amenities, including a large indoor/outdoor pool, hot tub and fitness area, daily yoga, concierge, valet, guest courtesy shuttle, ski rental shop that leads directly out to the slopes, multiple on-site eateries, retailers, and more.</p><p>I stayed in a Fairmont Room with two queen beds during my visit. The room was spacious (400 sq ft) and decorated with warm and elegant decor. The mattresses and the linens were luxurious and the bathroom was modern and impeccably clean. My guestroom had a relaxing sitting area along with a desk / workstation. The in room Wi-Fi was fast and reliable and the daily housekeeping was a lovely perk.</p><p>The only negative I noticed was that you can clearly hear hallway noise from your guestroom. The Fairmont goes out of their way to cater towards families especially during busy holiday weeks. During the time of my visit they prepared activities and events on a daily basis focused around the upcoming Easter holiday. They even had a custom created whimsical centerpiece located in the middle of the main lobby complete with Easter eggs, bunnies, and chicks. The common areas (i.e. main lobby, Mallard lounge, and outdoor pool) were bustling with happy families enjoying their vacations and time together. The only challenging thing was that because the Fairmont was almost sold out during the time of my visit the on-site rental shop was very busy, especially between 4-6 p.m. and they were out of a lot of models and sizes of their skis. The good part is that the on-site shop is connected to many other shops throughout Whistler Blackcomb so gear can be swapped out and exchanged as needed.</p>
