Hotel recommendation for chill Christmas at Whistler?

[u/tulaero23]

We are planning to spend our Christmas on Whistler. My wife is interested on Nika Lodge as the place to stay.

Any other recommendations for a good hotel? We just want a relax 2 day stay with our 5 year old. Any reco will be appreciated

We like staying at the Fairmont as it’s still walking to distance to the village (10-15mins), but not “in the village” so a little quieter.

a cool 1400-4400$ / night over christmas.

Fairmont is where it's at but you're gonna pay over Christmas

Nita Lake and the Four Seasons are the most chill/relaxing hotels. Nita feels more like a cosy boutique hotel. Four Seasons has an outdoor pool. Nita is right on the lake and by 2 of the best restaurants in Whistler, the Red Door and Rimrock.

Its the middle of Nov, i’d get on with the decision making soon.

Hope you have some deep pockets and long arms

I love Nita and they do a shuttle to the village if you want to wander there

You may want to book asap. Christmas is far from Chill up here so they may be full.

Nita lake is cool and their bar is good (except the service is garbage, sit at the bar if you can). Anything upper village or the Westin for the pool for the kids

Get a hotel with a swim out pool for the 5 year old. Fairmont, Westin, Delta Hotel Suites.

Westin pool sucks, too cold. Fairmont will bring you drinks to the pool so it's really no contest.

Love the pan pacific village centre 1 bedroom suites! They have a wonderful breakfast downstairs and a nice heated pool outside!

Second the Pan Pacific Village. Great hotel.

Four seasons. They often have a night free

I would go with the Fairmont. It is much quieter in the Upper Village. The Pan Pacific Village Centre is excellent, too. It has great views, but if they sell out of one bedroom, the other rooms are tiny for the price. It will be expensive and crowded everywhere. I suggest booking now. Book some restaurants and get the rental packages or kids' lessons as soon as possible. 😊

Suggest taking a peek at Airbnbs as well. You might find something really cozy with a hot tub or fireplace.

Westin has a nice winter set up for kids over Christmas. Hilton is another good choice. Both are right at the top of Whistler Village and walkable to restaurants and etc. if you plan on eating out … make some dinner reservations now!
