Westin Resort and Spa, Whistler

Amazing Holiday in Winter Wonderland!

This is our third year at Whistler! We have had ski holidays all over the world but Whistler Blackcombe is by far the best! 

The skiing/boarding is of course fantastic for all the family, as is the apres ski.  We had 14 days there this year and ate at an amazing restaurant every night. 

The wines and food are great and just the ticket after a hectic day on the slopes.  

Can't wait to book with Karen (Melbourne office) again next year.  She makes the whole booking experience fun.

Whistler and Westin the best

Even though there was little new snow we still had a ball. The ski field is so big that we were still able to find those hidden gems and make fresh tracks everyday.

The Westin is perfectly located for those who want their daily trek to be easy.

At the end of the day the Westin team hada rack available at the bottom of the lifts where you could leave your skis and they would take them to the ski storage area at the end of the day.

Great for kids.

Whistler wonderful

Such a variety of runs. So easy to quickly move between areas on mountain and between two big mountains.

Enough variety of top class apre ski for any taste.

Restaurants and liquor stores well priced again heaps of variety. Top skiing+top pubs+ good food=heavan.

Go looking for the smaller hidden gems of restaurants.

"AWESOME"

Would definitely recommend to friends.

Hotel and staff were awesome.

Mountain was just amazing, great skiing, disappointed we didn''t see any bears though, hibernating.

Location of the Westin was perfect, close to everything.

Thanks to Anne Martin for all your help.

One of our best holidays ever - thanks Travelplan

I can''t say enough positive things about our whole trip - everything was perfect and it all went to plan. Many thanks to Leah at Travelplan for organising everything for us. We loved Whistler - great powder, friendly locals, delicious cocktails, top atmosphere.

Would recommend the Westin to anyone as the room and the service were great and only steps to the gondolas.

Also had a great time at the Fairmont in Vancouver. Fantastic city and we loved the dogs in the hotel having left our own furry friends at home.

10 days of rain in Whistler

I travelled to Whistler with my 2 children for a 10 day skiing holiday from 6-16 January 2010 and hit an unusually warm January - accompanied by 9 days of uninterrupted rain, making for very unfortunate ski conditions - but not allowing much other outdoor activities either due the slushy conditions. This is just the luck of the draw - but its at times like this that you really appreciate a hotel with a good social life - which sadly does not exist at all at The Westin. The Westin has all the charm of a large airport. We spended all our time over at the Fairmont where there was a much more convivial bar with live music, as well as cheap meals between 4-6 pm ($10 a pop).  It would have been great if Travelplan Ski through whom we booked, monitored the weather conditions because we were so bored and miserable, we would have happily jumped at an offer to fly us out of there to a resort with good snow and skiing conditions for an extra cost.
