This lodge was named one of the Top 5 Hotels in Canada for Families by Tripadvisor, and is nestled near the base of the #1 Destination in North America according to SKI Magazine. Located on the edge of the quaint European-style ski village, the Pan Pacific lets you enjoy Blackcomb Whistler’s lively après nightlife when you feel like a night out, without making you listen to it when you’re ready to turn in. Upon check-in you’ll be greeted by smiling staffers eager to make your trip a memorable one. Baby on board? Just let the resort know beforehand and they can prep your suite with crib, highchair, monitors and more. The lodge even welcomes furry family members (of all sizes!) for a small fee – a portion of which is donated to the local animal shelter. On your crew’s first powder day you’ll be glad the lifts are so close. No need to rush through your complimentary breakfast – the Whistler Village gondola and the Blackcomb Excalibur lift are both just a five minute walk from the lodge, an easy stroll even for little ones. The world-renowned ski school has lessons for all ages and levels. There’s Adventure Camps for tots as young 3, while the Ride Tribe class lets teens play around on parks and pipes. Grab lunch on-mountain or swing back by your suite (it’s right there, after all) to whip up something. After an adventure-filled day on the mountains head back to Pan Pacific for some R ‘n R. Don’t feel like going out? Order room service, prepared by the popular Earls Restaurant, and chow down in your rental (try the Mocha Kahlua Ice Cream Pie if you’re craving something sweet). Cap the evening with a visit to the outdoor hot tubs for a long, luxurious soak.

Each bright and inviting studio and one- or two-bedroom suite is tastefully-decorated and well-appointed. The full kitchen has everything you need to prepare your signature dish and features modern, stainless steel appliances. Dining tables in the one- and two-bedroom suites let you sit down to dinner. Studios include a clever murphy-bed to give you extra space during the day. A stylish and spacious living area (many with sleeper sofas) has ample seating for quality time with the crew and a flat screen TV for movie night. Light the gas fireplace for a cozier vibe, or get some fresh air out on your private balcony.

When staying here all of the shops, dining and attractions of the Village are a short stroll away. From casual cuisine at Tacos La Cantina to gourmet plates at the Araxi Restaurant & Oyster Bar. Plus, there’s more to this destination than totally rad skiing - explore Native American trails via snowshoeing, or book a dog-sledding excursion for a uniquely-Canadian adventure. Whistler Blackcomb is also home to 160 kilometers (that’s 100 miles for you Americans) of cross country skiing – including many dog-friendly trails – and becomes a mountain biker’s paradise in the warmer months.
