Pan Pacific Whistler Village Centre
"Despite its name, Pan Pacific’s second iteration at Whistler is far enough from the din of the village to feel like a mountain retreat, yet close enough to the action that an après-ski cocktail is never more than a two-minute walk. Smartly appointed “apartment-style suites” feature granite-counter kitchenettes and plenty of dark millwork, while gas fireplaces and down duvets add a dose of alpine coziness. Downstairs, the bar does double duty as a restaurant, offering up the same uninspiring dinner menu as room service, which isn’t a big deal considering how many other restaurants are close by. The hotel’s greatest attribute, however, is the ski valet at the Pan Pacific Mountainside—the Village Centre’s older and busier sibling at the base of the gondola—where guests can stash their gear, so no one has to clomp to the lifts in their ski boots every morning."
