Delta Hotels by Marriott Whistler Village Suites

Nestled in the bustling village, Delta Hotels by Marriott Whistler Village Suites sits right at the base of Whistler Blackcomb, giving you near-instant access to 8,100 acres of lifts and trails. Multiple gondolas, the Mountain Bike Park and Skiers Plaza are all within a few minutes’ walk. Get fully kitted out at the onsite ski rental shop, and browse for a new jacket or a few extra layers while you’re there. The heated, swim-under indoor/outdoor pool separates the brave from the sane (just kidding, the water’s warm outside too). Or gather your crew in one of the three hot tubs and compare notes on favorite runs. The onsite Brickworks Public House is a guest favorite for après ski – wine on tap(!), plus cocktails and craft beers. Save a night for cold martinis and Canadian prime steaks at Hy’s Steakhouse, or venture out in search of more international fare – you’ll find Italian, Mexican and sushi nearby.

Despite the quaint, cobblestoned village outside, there’s nothing “ye olde” about this place. Spacious one- and two-bedroom suites include a well appointed kitchen, where the top-your-own-chili magic happens after your first full day on the slopes. Stop by the ski lockers and tuck your gear away for the night, leave your boots on the warmers to dry and head inside to thaw out by your living room fireplace. You’ll be exta-thankful for the convenient in-unit washer/dryer once those base layers start piling up. Toss a load in before movie night, then switch it before heading off to that plush Sanctuary bed.

Delta Hotels by Marriott Whistler Village Suites is steps from the Whistler Conference Center, a quarter-mile from Whistler Golf Club and a three-minute walk to the record-breaking Peak 2 Peak Gondola. Gather your crew for a ride up, and dine on “the rooftop of the world” with spectacular views of the peaks and slopes. See if you can get the special glass-bottom gondola for an incredible ride over the treetops below. The summer season is jam-packed with events like the free concert series and Whistler Children’s Festival. Or take your crew on a guided 4x4 Bear Viewing Tour to see Whistler’s famous black bears (and world’s cutest cubs) in their natural habitat. Spend a day at one of the five local lakes, canoeing or just hanging out on the beach. For fans of snow-laden winters, there’s no end to the adventures. Voted #1 Overall Resort by SKI Magazine, Whistler Blackcomb is buzzing all season long with everything from ice climbing and snowmobiling, to eagle viewing and snowshoeing. Exquisite tasting tours, indulgent spa experiences and festive après ski celebrations abound.
