Set at the base of Blackcomb Mountain, the Fairmont Chateau brings comfortable accommodations for the winter seekers. Grand in size, the Chateau stands out with its peaked roofs and glistening lights in Whistler.
Stepping into the lobby, the unparalleled service of Fairmont Hotels is apparent. Greeted with a smile and a quick check-in process, we were at ease at once. As we peered out the large glass windows overlooking the mountain, the snow started to fall, and our stay began.
The time at the Fairmont Chateau was both beautifully luxurious and approachable. Their alpine-design in the lobby made the space feel comfortable, with large fireplaces to cozy up to. Downstairs on the main floor, the expansive health club included a heated lap pool, a fitness room, saunas, and an indoor hot tub. Every afternoon, we retreated here for a soak and a steam to warm up after a day of adventures.
The evenings turned into dark quickly, but not before a great après-ski drink at the Mallard Lounge. It was buzzing, with both visitors and locals alike. After a drink, one night we dined at The Grill Room, experiencing the finest ingredients from the region, plated beautifully, and incredible service. With many onsite amenities at the Fairmont Chateau, like 7 restaurants, a ski rental shop, and other boutiques to browse, it makes it easy to never have to leave.
Being booked into a Gold Suite, meant walking into an room that felt like a home. We had a lovely fireplace that opened to both the living space and the bedroom. The living room was comfortable, including a large desk and a large closet to hang all of our winter accessories. The bedroom was cozy, and had a large window overlooking the snow-topped trees — one of my favorite views to wake up to. The walk-in closet was a dream, and of course, the signature bathrooms that have a soaking tub and a shower seal the deal.
Staying at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler was a dreamy getaway. Being close to the mountain was lovely, and having the service to help us tailor our trip made the stay easy. With the resort including amenities like a health club, yoga classes, a village shuttle, and more, it was a perfect time in the heart of Whistler.

PS — Are You Booking a Trip Soon? Use My Booking Checklist!
These are the sites I use most to book my own trips. Using the links below is a great way to support Bon Traveler’s travel journalism at no extra cost to you. If you need help organizing your itinerary, get my free travel itinerary template here.
1. Book Your Accommodations
I use Booking.com for hotels and Airbnb for vacation rentals. They have the biggest inventory and consistently offer the best rates.
2. Book Your Rental Car
Self-driving is the best way to explore most destinations. I use Discover Cars for our rental cars, select full coverage insurance, and opt for a reputable company like Alamo, Hertz, or Sixt.
3. Book Your Tours & Experiences
I use Viator, Airbnb, and Get Your Guide to find the best tours and experiences. They are my favorite tour search engines. I always check all three as their inventory varies depending on the destination.
4. Book Your Private Transfers
For easy, reliable private transfers, I use Welcome Pickups. It’s my go-to for arranging a driver in advance — whether it’s an airport pickup, a hotel-to-hotel transfer, or a day trip. The experience is seamless, with English-speaking drivers and upfront pricing, so you can travel stress-free at every stage of your trip.
5. Get Cell Data for Your Trip
I use Holafly for international cell data. Their unlimited data eSIMs are easy to install, activate instantly on arrival, and let you skip local SIM cards and expensive roaming fees.
6. Don’t Forget Travel Insurance
I never leave the country without travel insurance. It provides comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong (ie. illness, injury, theft, or cancellations).
My favorite companies that offer the best coverage and rates are:
- World Nomads (best for all-around)
- Safety Wing (best for frequent travelers)
