As usual, everything was excellent. The service was kindly and professionally delivered. The accommodations are well-appointed and beautiful. The hotel amenities are numerous and met the wishes of our all-ages group. There is no better place to stay in Whistler.

Beautiful room, stunning amenities, and the best care. Lia from the front desk took care of me from start to finish and made sure all my needs were met. The room was spotless and furnished with the best soaps and toiletries. Everything I needed was in the room. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

We loved our 2-night stay at the Fairmont Chateau. Our upgraded King room was so comfortable and mountain views were a joy to wake up to. Everyone we encountered was super friendly, helpful, and welcoming. We are looking forward to a return visit soon.

Requested a crib pre-arrival for our 1 year old. Was told there was one in the room. When we checked in, there wasn’t a crib in the room. Valet service at front never helped us with our baggage on arrival or when leaving. The restaurants didn’t have good high chairs like they have at the four seasons, so we ended up dining more at the four seasons. There was ketchup on our table and menu in the bedroom on arrival. After the trip, we then stayed at the Fairmont Empress in Victoria, which was amazing and really highlighted the difference in how poor the Chateau Fairmont was. Read less

This is best hotel in Whistler. The grand lobby, beautiful rooms, pool area, food and service are all amazing. We come every year in July to cycle and hike. There are endless trails for cycling and a bike concierge for storing your bikes. (rentals are also available) Can't say enough good things about this beautiful hotel. The staff are so friendly and helpful. We have come 5 years in a row and have already booked our stay for next year. The gold floor is wonderful for the food, private check in, concierge and car service. Read less
