Adara Hotel Whistler

I absolutely loved my stay here! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful—special shoutout to Simon and Kate for going above and beyond. The location is perfect—easy to drive to and just steps from the village. The room was very clean and the beds are the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in! If I could’ve taken one home, I would have. Highly recommend!

Stayed here last week for the first time and will 100% be back! Staff were all very helpful and genuine, they gave great recommendations for places to eat and drink, and they all seemed happy to be there. Clean rooms and the beds were some of the comfiest hotel beds out there! Everything is walking distance from the hotel so the location cannot be beat! Do yourself a favour and stay here, you won’t be disappointed!!

Katie and the gentleman on Sunday shift were amazing hosts/staff members who took care of our group! We had a fantastic time with Adara—exceeded our expectations in terms of guest services. The rooms were very clean, well maintained and properly setup prior to arrival. The one star is to generate attention for the business to replace the toiletries—napkins as toilet paper is an interesting decision and not expected. Would stay again even though our guests were definitely turned off by the toiletries.

We love staying here. Ideal location when you want to be in the heart of Whistler, great service from the staff. Upgraded rooms & comfy beds made our stay so homey. Will absolutely be back. They have fresh cookies for guests during the day and local coffee in the rooms. Honestly every detail is well thought out.

We had a fantastic stay at the Adara Hotel! Staff was very friendly, rooms were clean and comfortable. The pool was great and AC unit worked very well. We came up for a bachelorette and Simon was very helpful and went above and beyond to make out stay a wonderful experience. We will definitely stay at the Adara Hotel again!! Fantastic!!

Absolutely loved The Adara Hotel. Our room was lovely! Modern & clean! The staff so welcoming and helpful! Thanks to Simon & Emma!! Excellent customer service! So close to Absolutely Everything!! Whistler Village. Parking was reasonable and loved checkout day, not having to move car till 2pm! Nice touch! Definitely stay again. Thank you to a housekeeping gentleman, I only asked where ice machine was, he went and got for me, delivered! Was so nice!! Great staff....! Really a Fabulous Stay .!!😊

When making the reservation, we had put in a request for a quiet room. No response. |We noticed the room was very noisy but went to sleep, only to awake at 1am to the sound of extremely loud music, which kept going, and going. |We complained to the front desk. |We investigated and found that our room was located directly above a late night dance club. |This was a tidbit which the hotel conveniently forgot to mention at the time of booking. |Second night- same thing. Loud music till 2 am. |I lodged a complaint and the hotel’s response was “it’s covered in our terms and conditions” or something to that effect. |I found that to be a little disappointing and disingenuous for a $290 per night room.

I've had the pleasure of staying at the Adara many times and always have a great experience! Every room has been stylish, clean and comfortable and the staff is always friendly and accommodating. Bonus: I love the soaps and shampoo from Rocky Mountain Soap Company - a Canadian company! Double bonus: easily popping down to the mezzanine floor to go to the pool and hot tub or to Stonesedge Kitchen for some top notch cocktails.

I loved this hotel, for the price that's much lower when compared to those that are right next to it, you get the same proximity to the chair lifts and all the shops and restaurants. The room was spacious enough and the bed was very comfortable. Hot tub and pool were never as crowded as those in big hotels, I always had them all to myself. The only complaint that I have is the noise from the businesses that share the same building. I know there isn't much that the hotel can do about that, but that's something to consider if you are a light sleeper.

Not terrible, not great. Maybe 3 stars. Location is good. Quick walk to the gondola and shops. The rooms are okay. They are probably new(er) remodels. We had the loft upstairs which was nice and quaint. The weird thing is the 'valet' which has a maximum parking spots of 20ish spots not enough for every room. Thankfully the Westin has extra parking (for a daily fee). Also the valet overnight parking is $30+ a night. The customer service is fine, not great. Probably understaffed. The coffee in the Rooms are tea bags, so you want real coffee head to Starbucks. Hot tub and pool are outdoors. Small hot tub that does not get that hot, it's hot, but not hot tub HOT. Lastly, super weird but our alarm went off at 6:00am our second night. (Following morning) but not the first... It was okay. Cozy & quaint.

Went to Whistler in February and was very pleased with this hotel. It is a boutique style hotel and has a very modern feel to it. Our room was very welcoming and the added touch of the electric fireplace made the room very cozy. The customer service at The Adara is exceptional. Each staff member that I interacted (via phone call or in person) with was very pleasant and friendly. They were also very helpful with directions and recommendations during our stay Location is awesome! It is super close to The Village and to the slopes. Just a quick walk through the village and the ticket booth is right there. It was probably a 4 minute walk or so (all flat). From there, you can take the Whistler Village Gondola up to the mountain. After boarding, we walked back to room to shower and freshen up and walked back to The Village for dinner. The Adara is very conveniently located and priced more reasonably than the other hotels in the same general area. Definitely a good deal -- we paid a total of $ 317 USD for two nights ($ 389 CAD). Such a steal for this hotel! This has earned our choice of stay for future Whistler trips!!

You can see from previous reviews that this hotel is attached to the bar next door. Our room wasn't ready and the front desk clerk gave me the key to the bathroom. I was given the wrong directions and went into the space shared with the bar. Their bathroom was absolutely disgusting, throw up, diarrhea etc. This is not the hotel but it is connected to the hotel on the 2nd floor. Anyone can access that door. That did not make me comfortable to say the least. Then as we were waiting for our room in the tiny lobby area, I overheard a staff member say things were running slowly because the staff was hungover. I understand it was New Year's day but I'm not paying for someone else's hangover. While waiting in that tiny lobby, it was just chaos. I asked to speak to the manager but the front desk said no one was on the premises. So appartently their was no one in charge. I asked if I could cancel our room, answer being no. But it was such a terrible, sketchy vibe that we let Adara keep 3 nights worth of our money and went to the Westin. The manager, Doug did call me the next day to apologize and say he would give me one night's worth of money back. That has not happened and he has not responded to my latest email. This place is good if you want chaos, noise, like to party and you are single and in your 20's. But if you have want a nice, relaxing place go elsewhere.

Great proximity to everything within whistler village, awesome desk service, complimentary snacks & drinks at the lobby, and the room was modern & clean! Stay here if you want to be right across the street from the nightclubs/bars/food. I planned to stay for one night in January and Adara hotel offered the lowest price (although still pricey!) amongst all the other hotels for that day on booking.com . The room itself had a small wet bar area (mini fridge & small counter with a coffee maker & cups), comfy bed, chic fireplace & TV, and fancy bathroom with a rain-showerhead! I thought it was neat that they also had ski boot dryers built into the wall so you can vent out/dry your wet gear. WARNING: expect ruckus/music past midnight since the hotel is located across the street from a nightclub !

This hotel was pretty nice. Great location near all the bars and restaurants. Room was pretty good for the most part, A/C was stuck on one setting and unable to turn off and on. Also no more shampoo left in the dispenser. Pool was nice and was exposed to lots of sun but unfortunately was very dirty. Service was good except for one of the women who was extremely rude and spoke to us and other customers with a very poor attitude, definitely not the type that should be working in hospitality. Would stay again if the price is right.

I really wish I'd read the prior reviews because if I'd have known, I would not have booked a room. Dinky little front desk with nobody there because apparently the desk guy works the valet too? The rooms look nice in the internet but once you get in the rooms and start peeling back the layers it's cheap ikea furniture made with press board at best. I asked for a quiet room and the manager says it's quiet. It turns out from reading all the other reviews that they say the same LIES to all their patrons that complain about the noise so please read other reviews with the same complaints. I got into my room around 4pm and the noise was so ridiculous I called front desk and he plays dumb that it isn't usually noisy so I called him upstairs and he listened saying hmmm this is odd I'll talk to the management of the restaurant downstairs. He then tells me there's a private wedding party and the music will be shut off by 10pm and that this is rare. I asked if he had ear plugs and he pointed that they were beside the bed so obviously they have noise issues! I travel in hotels almost every week. This is the first hotel I've ever seen put ear plugs by the bed. The music did NOT stop at 10! It turns out the prior reviews state the manager lies to all the customers saying this so check prior reviews. Paper thin walls! Super loud music! Can't sleep! Management is full of lies! Noisiest place in Whistler. You will get NO sleep. Young kids working valet and the desk. Update the next morning after the first night: as I go downstairs another patron is complaining about the noise. I then tell the manager that the noise went on till 3am and I also told him that I read prior reviews to only find out there's a history of the managers playing dumb lying to customers about the noise stating it stops at 10pm. His response was very snarky and he told me that if I don't like it I can leave. When I mentioned if I'd get my money back he said not till the following week. Customers were warning me in the lobby and hallways about loud noise and rude management. On the second night it was much quieter but still noisy but hey, after all, its Whistler. I found out the restaurant downstairs had a wedding that management claims to have not been warned about so in all honesty, I'm smart enough not to get upset with the hotel about this because it's not their fault but what I don't appreciate is the management playing dumb then having an extremely rude attitude telling me that if I don't like it to leave. So although I was staying 3 nights I decided to write this review the first night stating I'd update it as I am now. The next morning the general manager politely asked to speak to me so we went and sat on the couch and he told me that he wasn't happy about my review asking me how I could write a review like that stating it causes unrepairable damage. I told him it could always be changed and reminded him that I stated I'd update my review as it goes along. Then he has the nerve to accuse me of having a fraudulent credit card and that it would be in my best interest to take the review down. It turns out the manager below him that I complained about told him this so he takes his word for it and accuses me of being a fraudster after being kept up all night. Fraudsters aren't Elite squad members with their photos up nor would they stay two additional nights risking getting caught. Good Lord call the cops then if I checked in fraudulently. I have nothing to hide! We bumped into multiple other angry customers both in the elevator and hallway voicing their upset about both noise and how management handled their complaints. There's a review history of this btw The general manager then offers to get the restaurant below to buy us dinner if I take the review down. Anyone can tell by how often I review and the venues I frequent that money is clearly not an issue for me. No issues in my financial department so I declined dinner stating we just don't want to be disrespected. We shook hands. They charge you $25 day for parking and on the 2nd day I saw a mark on my truck so I told them I want to drive my own truck out of the underground and they wouldn't let me drive my own truck out. When I told them my vehicle was only insured for me to drive they refused to give me my truck so I told them my truck got scuffed and the guy told me I'm a liar! See photo attached. So I parked my truck elsewhere the third night. There is two other reviews out there with the prior same complaint too. Now here's the kicker. I got an email from this manager stating that he's going to get to the bottom of the fraudulent card. Go ahead! He states on my voicemail that it's in my best interest to take my review down immediately. He then states I'm now on the radar in Whistler and that he's got me flagged. I will be back in Whistler as I've been doing for decades writing many nice reviews about other wonderful hotels with wonderful management.

Very noisy hotel! It is next to pubs & clubs that runs till 4am You will not have peace or quiet or even good nights sleep! Had to wear earplugs to sleep but still can hear the noise Front desk staff was friendly & welcoming EXCEPT for the management team They were rude, accusatory, argumentative & lacking in proper customer service when asked about the situation about the noise It is in your best interest that.....if you are going to accuse someone of something you should have sufficient evidence before u bring it up or you look like the fool Will be contacting BBB

Good: Staff, lobby, size of room and price Bad: Noise, cheap decor, cleanliness of the shower I feel like this would be a great place if I was in my 20s. On the surface it seems great but the details leave you thinking this place is falling apart. If noise level at night and aesthetics is important -avoid this place. If you're looking for space vs money and late night outs this is easily 4 stars

We stayed at the Adara for Valentine's Day weekend 2/14-2/17 this year and had an amazing experience! Our room was on the third floor and we never once heard any noise from the neighboring rooms or from the nightclub downstairs. I don't even know what nightclub other guests are talking about...perhaps Buffalo Bill's? Anyways, no issues with that, or anything else. Our room was very clean and they up-kept it every day for us while we were out. The rain shower was great after a long, epic of boarding. The staff was all very friendly and accommodating. The hotel lobby dog, Kate, made my day, every day! Such a sweetie! I also love and appreciate that the hotel is environmentally friendly, as are a lot of other places in Canada. Unfortunately, a lot my fellow Americans complaining below are used to pigging out on three towels per shower, burning electricity, killing way too many trees per day, wasting water, and being all-around lazy and unresourceful. If that sounds like you, then you don't deserve to stay here anyway! Actually, just leave this amazing town altogether. Go find your banquet template, cookie-cutter room at a Hilton and take your complaining elsewhere. OH, and make sure you grab a freshly baked breakfast bar and cookie from the lobby! We LOVED the Adara and will 100% be back sooner than later. Thanks for an amazing and memorable V-Day weekend!! xoxox

We stayed here this past weekend for my birthday and it was enjoyable. The lobby was small and modern where they bake fresh cookies (GENIUS) and also provide granola bars during the day. It's pretty pricey but so is everything else in Whistler during this time. We stayed in a King suite and it had a gas fireplace, microwave, fridge and one of those boot drying things (life saver). Only issues we had were that the fridge was not cold at all, even after trying to lower the temp, the hallway gets pretty loud at times when people leave or come back from the day and, of course this isn't the hotel's fault, but they did some snow/ice shoveling right outside our window at like 6AM on Sunday and it lasted for quite a while.

This boutique, contemporary hotel is located right in Whistler village. The ski lifts are a 2 minute walk away. Restaurants, coffee shops, a grocery store, and drug store are right around the corner. They have breakfast bars in the morning and freshly baked cookies in the afternoon. We booked a loft which had a bedroom upstairs and a sofa couch downstairs. We even had a little lanai! Perfect for a family of four. This place was clean and modern. They had a beautiful golden retriever hangin out in the lobby most of the time. But, beware on some nights you may hear bumping music coming from the bar/club below. Good service, but it does take awhile to check in as there is usually only one person at the counter. They do have a pool and jacuzzi. They are also connectd to a restaurant on the second floor. Overall, I would definitely stay here again as it was so convenient to explore Whistler right at your door step!

You know your cute but really quirky girlfriend who is always just slightly off but has convinced herself she is rockin' the crocs? Yep, that's the Adara. This place brags about being a boutique luxury hotel and is all sexy with the "unzipped" handle. But really it's understaffed by about one at all times. The decor is Whistler cutting edge - edge of a tree stump. But the place means well. To the point of trying a little too hard - picture that same girlfriend rockin' the crocs AND a string of pearls. Here's an example: you can't walk down the hall and get a bucket of ice. No. You've got to call the front desk. If they're not busy, they'll bring it right up. The location, however, is perfect: as close to the center of activity in the village as you'd want to be without being in the center of the village. And the service, while a bit scattered is excellent. When the bellhop brought down our MANY bags, he offered to load them in the trunk. Yesssss! Two asides: 1. We mentioned how swimming in Lost Lake was even colder than in the pool and they were all, "haa ha ha, you're funny. The pool's toasty warm!" Oops, the pool heater was broken! They had no idea. 2. On our first evening in the loft room my daughter pulled off her nickers and sat on the faux fur throw pillow on the sofa. When I asked why she did it she said she just wondered how it would feel. That made me wonder how many other hotel guests wondered the same thing and I didn't touch the throw pillows for the rest of our stay.

I've never been kicked out of a hotel before...and never anticipated that happening when we were fast asleep. We'd been a little wasted in the village the day before when we booked a hotel through Garfinkel's pub crawl so I didn't get the details or any confirmation. We missed the crawl in lieu of a kick ass hot tub at a nearby mansion and checked in a little late (10:30PM). There was some confusion - our name wasn't on file - but the concierge knew of a Garfinkels' booking and gave us our room keys. All was good until 3AM when there was a bang at the door and then the concierge entered. He said we didn't have a booking and that the guests with the right reservation had arrived and wanted the room. He called us liars and gave us 5 minutes to vacate the room before he'd call police. I collected my wasted friends and hit the road. Picking up my keys (taken by valet) he reiterated the threat. I knew by this time, after calling my guy at Garfinkel's, that I was supposed to check into Aava, not Adara. My mistake, but also the concierge's, and it was not handled gracefully...at all. Kinda woulda loved to see the cops show...what was dude gonna say? I checked them in and now changed my mind? (PS. If you wanna ditch the stiff service I'd recommend Aava / Ava hotel nearby..no probs and we had a good laugh with the concierge about the whole situation. PPS. Nick at Garfinkel's was a great guy to deal with too.)

Stop what you are doing and read this. Save yourself a terrible terrible experience and stay somewhere else. The managers at this hotel have most likely lived under a rock their whole lives and do not seem to understand what customer service means. That's the only explanation I can come up with after the way we were treated during our stay. Let me explain. Throughout our stay we were denied extra towels and Kleenex when we asked. We didn't ask for 10 towels. We asked for two extra towels. We didn't ask for a pallet of Kleenex, we asked for one extra box. On top of that, when we asked for more toilet paper, they refused to deliver it to our room, they made us walk downstairs to the lobby at 6:45AM to get the toilet paper. If you are a paying customer, you would think that would get you enough towels to dry yourself and Kleenex to blow your nose. Apparently that's not the case at Adara hotel. We received such great service from other establishments in Whistler, it's a shame Adara hotel fell by the wayside. To the folks at Adara- remember you're running a hotel, not a prison. Thanks.

Location, location, location! In real estate and in hotel rooms it counts and the Adara definitely meets all the requirements of a great location. It is steps away from everything you need or want to access including lifts to both Whistler and Blackcomb, restaurants, shops, bars and services of all kinds. There really is no need for a vehicle once you are there, so you might want to consider not bringing your car - parking is $20 a day. In terms of atmosphere, the hotel itself offers exactly what you'd expect from a boutique hotel in Whistler - west coast trendy at its best. Clean lines and lots of wood. The sparsity of it could feel cold but somehow they manage to conjure a cozy feeling despite very modern furnishings. Fluffy faux fur throws and pillows adorn the bed and sofa, high thread count sheets envelope you when you snuggle into bed, and bright white thick towels greet you when you step out of the rain-shower-head shower. A television, cd player, microwave and well-stocked mini fridge mean you don't have to leave your toasty envrions if you don't want to. I would not hesitate recommending this hotel but I do have a few warnings. 1. If you are travelling with children it might matter to you that there are no in-room movies. 2. Whislter is a bit of a party town and on our last night there - a Thursday - we were woken at 2:00 a.m. by people partying in the room next door. We knew then why the hotel provides ear plugs on the bedside table. 3. You can order food to your room from a number or restaurants through Dine-In Whistler, but they do not start delivery until 4:00 p.m. and we weren't thrilled with the selection. All in all we had a pretty positive experience. The staff are super friendly and despite being obvisouly overworked they always offered a smile and friendly word.

The location is obviously delightful. It's in Whistler for gosh sake! The hotel is clean and modern. They have bike storage and keep in mind it is a ski hotel so it will have the typical nicks and dings from skis and downhill bikes moving about - although the maintenance is kept up well at this hotel in Whistler. The staff was exceptional. They are expedient and respectful - everyone we dealt with over our stay this last Wednesday and Thursday nights were wonderful. And if you read my review of the Double Tree in Victoria, Adara is night and day (and nearly half the price) with increased professionalism and an emphasis on customer satisfaction. A++ to the folks at Adara!

I am hoping that the next time I stay in Whistler at almost $200 a night I'll be more impressed. Pros - Location is perfect. Loft includes an outdoor deck. Receptionist was very sweet. Wifi worked like a charm. Cons - Lobby bathroom was disgusting. Room was NOT clean (hair clumps in the shower, hairs on the sheets, dirty floors and carpets) which I found incredibly sad considering this is a hotel with cleaning staff. My advice for the hotel: Don't spend $ on faux fur blankets and room deco when you clearly aren't paying your cleaning staff enough.

Great hotel in the middle of a village. From there you can walk anywhere. Everything was in a walking distance for us. Great staff and customer service. The only thing I didn't like is when I booked the room online they told us that the parking included when we got to the hotel the front desk said they don't do that and parking is $20/ night. We parked in a public parking for $10/24 hours. Other than that everything else was great

Five stars all the way. Cody at the front desk is amazing... incredibly helpful, accomodating, and friendly. We were very pleasantly surprised with our room which turned out to be a small apartment--I would live here! Super dog friendly. Right in the middle of all the action at Whistler Village. Clean. Modern. Great experience overall! And they bake fresh cookies in the afternoon! STAY HERE. You will not be disappointed!

The hotel was great. The mattress was comfortable. Ruta at the reception desk was always professional, helpful and assisted us greatly with recommendations for the restaurants. Fresh natural bars every day and Valentines days truffles were a nice treat. I would stay again in this hotel.

I work in television production and as such I stay in a lot of hotels. Some are bad, but most are pretty great. Adara? Meh. There are so many great places to stay in Whistler, I am usually excited about coming here and trying out a new and fancy place. The Listel, the Delta, Aava, I've stayed at and all I really enjoyed. Here, at this small, boutique hotel, it feels at once as if they're trying too hard and not trying hard enough at the same time. The room I got, just off the elevator on the second floor, appears to be the handicapped room, with handicapped grab bars at the toilet and in the shower. The most egregious issue with the room is the bathroom sink. It's a non-touch faucet. As in, wave your hand in front for water to come out. At whatever temperature it's set. This is fine in a restaurant to wash my hands but a bathroom sink needs to be immeasurably more useful. As in, having a choice between hot and cold water, and staying on longer than two seconds. Some touches in the room were pretty cool, like the boot dryer, outlets everywhere, Sony Playstation and the coffee press (but no real creamer). However, the "fireplace" was a real gimmick. It isn't gas, and puts out no heat. The equivalent of watching the "crackling fire" on a TV channel (which I found) but no "crackling." As I lay myself down for my first night of a three night stay, I am disturbed by what sounds like neighbors above me dragging furniture across the room. I called the front desk and was informed there was no room above me. The attendant came to my room and had a listen. He said it was odd and that this room was usually one of the quietest. He said he would go investigate, but I suspect he knew all along. I discovered on my second day that just below me is the mezzanine level, where I suspect their restaurant's kitchen is. Coming back from my day of work, I'm greeted with music blasting the patio outside my room, the patio I'm certain is part of the restaurant/hotel. I can hear music as loudly as one can blasting music from their car while outside giving it a bath. I'm not a ninny, and 70's classic rock is one of my favorite genres. But when traveling and working, I want my distractions at a minimum, and I want my music on my own terms. I'm supposing my review might be more positive if I hadn't landed in such an unfortunate room, but I've learned to live with such inconveniences from time to time. It's just that, next time I come to Whistler, I'll tell my travel agent and office personnel that I'd prefer another place to stay.

First of all the hotel is literally in the middle of everything!! So convenient i couldnt even believe i got that lucky especially for what I was paying. The Hotel is neat and clean and everything looks brand new. Staff is amazingly friendly and helpful Easy checking in no issues / same checking out They valet the car for you ($20 per day which is a bit much) The rooms are extremely clean with contemporary decoration Legit cable and free wireless internet which worked perfectly Free coffee and tea every morning and the valet your skis/boards free Bed was incredibly comfortable Fake fireplace was a little pointless and chessy but who cares Hot tub is such a plus!! All in all I was extremely satisfied especially when they upgraded us for free to a suite with a loft style bedroom!! Im staying here every time i go

We stayed at Adara for only one night, in October 2015. The location is really great, just a few steps from the town centre. If you need to get to the grocery or liquor stores, a restaurant or bar, or for shopping, you're just a few steps away. We received phenomenal customer service, causing me to up the rating from 3 stars to 4. We were checked in by Barbara, who deserves huge credit for being friendly, welcoming and helpful. A definite asset to this property. The lobby is regularly stocked with coffee and some amazing snack bars. The bars were very tasty, but the only time we tried the coffee it was of very poor quality, both only lukewarm at best, and very weak. The hotel is not fancy, but we found it extremely clean and comfortable. We stayed in a one bedroom suite, and it was roomy, with a gas fireplace in the living room that was very cozy during the evening. Plenty of seating as well. A couple of flaws, however, were a flat screen TV with the wrong aspect ratio, stretching the picture out of proportion. A throwback to a decade ago, that shouldn't be happening in 2015. The room has a walk-in shower, but no tub. We didn't realize that until we had checked in, and were disappointed in that. Finally, the room came with a CD player, which didn't work. It wasn't a huge deal so we didn't even call to have it replaced, but just a heads up. To summarize, we would be happy to stay here again. We're not 'dying' to go back, but our experience there was, overall, positive.

Loved staying at the Adara, especially for the price! The location in the middle of the village is perfect, easy to find driving in and easy to get to the mountain. The resort is pretty low on frills which is what we are looking for as we like to spend most our time boarding so it is a good option for a place with less amenities which means you won't be paying the extra for said amenities. The staff was warm and welcoming. The hotel itself has a fun, trendy vibe. It was awesome to wake up to warm breakfast cookies! I will say the hot tub area is a little lacking. There is only one placed out of the way with a max capacity of 8 that everyone in the hotel shares so needless to say you probably won't get much time in it. I would definitely go back and stay here. It is great value!

Pretty cute boutique hotel. The downside? Parking. I hate paying for parking. $20/night for parking, but hey it's Whistler and they have to make more money somehow. The hotel is also close to everything, which is a plus. There were really cute touches in this hotel like the statue heads of Ibex's and the cute log cabin type beds and cute pillows! Perfect for lounging and reading and watching TV on. The staff were pretty friendly and the stay was pretty cheap. Not really much more to say.. I'd stay here again if I could get the same deal for sure.

I recently stayed at the Adara. I found a great online deal and then book at that price directly with the hotel. Other reviewers are right... This place is in the middle of everything. You can walk everywhere. The rooms were very modern and clean. Very clean. The bed was great. I slept like a baby. Other people in the hotel in the morning complained that there was a lot of noise the night before that kept them awake. I didn't hear a thing. The free wifi worked perfectly. I took some photos of the room because I liked it so much. I will post them here. The nice bonus was the private balcony with a bistro table and two chairs that looked out at Whistler. Next time I'm in Whistler I'm staying here.

One afternoon at work, my boss and my colleague were talking about plans for the weekend. My colleague said she wants to go to Whistler and stay the night. Upon looking at hotels to stay, she said she found The Adara and thought it looked really nice. My boss then said he absolutely loved The Adara and recommended it. That's when I made a mental note about the hotel. Were they talking to me too? No. Were they talking right where I was? Yes. Was I eavesdropping? Possibly. So when my aunt from out of town came to visit, we thought we'd bring her to Whistler. I remembered this and suggested it, and I was in charge of planning it. The check in is at 4 pm, and check out is at 11 am. Wtf. For a 1 night stay this ain't good. Anyway, called once to ask about prices. First guy I spoke to quoted us a cheaper price compared to when I called again. Again wtf. Requested to get a room as far away from the bar as possible (since we had light sleepers and it tends to get really loud as I read on Yelp). Request accommodated. Quaint space and chic decor as we walked in the lobby. Loved it. We had a nice huge room; I was impressed with the modern decor. Loved what we got in the room: fridge, microwave, waterfall/rainfall style shower (although it was just effing hot water; there was barely any cold!), and PS3 (which my brothers completely hogged therefore preventing the rest of us from being able to watch TV. We had just 1 controller tho. Not such a huge deal but they wish they had another 1). There was also a fireplace, which we didn't use because its the middle of summer. Loved the complimentary robes as well. There was something stuck in the air conditioning, which made it spew out a foul odour at times. But when we set the AC to cool, we didn't smell it at all. Bizarro. It looked like an apple or something. Anyway, that was gross. The pool area was pretty nice; wasn't populated when my brother and I went for a swim so that was nice. A jacuzzi was also available so we were happy about that. Our hallway was SUPER loud and noisy in the evening. Tons of drunkies just partying their asses off not caring about anything in the world. BUT since we were at the corner of the hotel, once we walked inside our room we couldn't hear any of the yelling. Thank the lord. Worst part about this is parking. $20 for valet. F that. We found parking somewhere else. But I guess its better than other hotels', like one I saw which charged $35 for their valet. F that to the 10th power. And the elevator! Oh my lord the bloody elevator. Much worse than the parking. There's only 1. I definitely think they could use another 1 especially since the one they currently have moves at a prehistoric pace. Would I stay here again? I actually like this hotel despite the reviews. But I'd probably not. I'd want to stay at a different hotel to have a different experience. But if we manage to book a similar room (which is far away from the noise so we can all have our beauty rests) then I would have no objections about staying here again. 3.5/5 but I'm bumping it to 4/5

This hotel is not dog friendly! Save yourself the trouble and just book through Airbnb where you can actually leave your dogs alone without having the hotel manager yell at you!

It seems an Aussie accent is a requirement for the staff. The interior is a mix between '70s and metro-chic. It works.. not sure how though. Weirdest item? An oxygen bottle in the bathroom. The place gets all the basics right (cleanliness, great bed) and the location is perfect, less than 5 minute walk to the lifts. Would love to spend more time there next time...

Absolutely terrible. While I was trying to look for my mom I waited outside of the hot tub area while I tried to text her to let me in, this man who looked like he was in his late 60s came up and started asking what I was doing. I responded by saying I was just texting my mom he began accusing Mr of trying to break into the hot tub. I am currently in therapy for my social anxiety and I couldn't really respond. He then getting really mad at me and he kicked me out of my own hotel, while I was exiting he told me never to come back. I cannot stress how embarassing this was, and from an employee of the hotel no less. I will urge my family and everyone I know to never stay at the hotel in the future.

One star is too much - it deserves a zero. To add insult to injury, I see that my previous review was deleted. Not surprising. I shared my truly terrible experience. Adara doesn't maintain their rooms. While you can't change it, you can be forewarned that Adara is located above a Greek restaurant and beside a popular bar. Want to sleep before 3am. Try somewhere else. Worst thing of all was Sarah - their front desk/valet employee who is awful awful, defensive without reasons I should be made responsible for, and she just doesn't care about guests. Some hotel concerns are just what they are. You hope that the staff will be your saving grace. Not so here. Even if Yelp/Adara deletes my review again, I've posted one in many other online review sites. I hope my review helps other travelers avoid the same bad experience.

After having our booking for 6 months, and being 9 days away from arriving, the hotel cancelled my booking. After a stressful few days of having credit card fraud and being without a credit card, Adara tried to charge my card which declined because it had been cancelled, after trying to call me on a busy work day and not even leaving a message I get a cancellation within an hour, without giving me enough time to even call them back. After calling to sort out with new details they told me they've already reserved the room, and gave me no solution, and simply rude, defensive service in return. 'I should take it up with booking.com' apparently, what type of customer service is that?! Disgusting way to treat customers, no human empathy for stressful situation. With 9 days to go before the booking you'd expect them to give me a chance. I now have lost money on bookings I've made in Whistler as I can't find a hotel at such short notice. Absolutely horrendous way to treat people.

Once again deal of the day on booking.com and this time we had a real goodie. We stayed in the Adara Whistler Village Boutique Hotel on a Sunday night stopping here for a day on our road trip from Calgray to Vancouver via Lilloet. We booked the two story one Bedroom Loft with one queen bed in the upstairs bedroom and queen size sofa bed in the living room. The loft was really big and it felt more like a flat than a hotel room Inside we found a fridge, a microwave, coffee/tea press with complimentary coffee/tea, martini shaker, an in-room safe, an iPod docking station, a Flat Screen TV with a Sony PlayStation 3 (how cool is this, we got the games for free at the desk). On of the coolest things I have ever seen in a hotel was the floating electric fireplace in the living room. The hotel is located in the Whistler Village just a 5 minute walk away from lift access and some of the finest dining places I've ever seen. The staff was helpful and nice all the time. Secure parking is available for 30 CAN$ and your car we be parked in the hotel garage. The hotal has a small spa area with an outdoor hottub which must be cool during winter, as we went out for diner in the evening we haven't tested it. We felt welcome here and the hotel is really a cool place to stay!

Definitely A-OK for me. I enjoyed the décor and the people at the front desk were really genuine and we even laughed at some mild humor back and fourth. They accommodate dogs with makes me the happiest being a loving mother of a Chihuahua. It was a little pricey but I loved the room, the bathroom was super modern and clean. I would stay here again for sure.

We just returned from a 4-night stay at the Adara Hotel. The previous reviews about the noise at the Adara at night were spot on. We had a one-bedroom loft on the 3rd floor and could still hear and feel the bass thumps and noise from the bar/club downstairs late into the night. I would hate to think what it would be like on the second floor! Housekeeping was hit or miss. One day we left early in the morning and came back after a day on the slopes to find the room had not been cleaned. We also called the front desk at one point to ask for extra towels and the phone rang and rang with no response. The gentlemen that helped resolve an issue we had with our toilet one night was very nice though. Somebody in our party returned to the hotel after some shopping and grabbed a couple cookies on her way up. A man in a suit (that we later found out was the general manager) glared at her suspiciously. He stared at her from the moment she walked in until the elevator closed without saying a word the entire time. She was extremely uncomfortable and was tempted to offer her room number and show her key to prove she was staying there. The worst of it came when we had to check out. We came down to the lobby with our luggage in the morning and asked Kieran at the front desk for our car. He came back and said that our car was blocked in by another vehicle and that he didn't have the keys to move it. Apparently the person working the night before didn't follow proper procedure or something. So Kieran was frantically calling around trying to find a solution, but since he was the only one working, he had to deal with people that checked out, a guest that came down to request something and answer calls to the front desk. At one point he had to ignore the phone to deal with our problem (it continued to ring non-stop). Meanwhile, time was ticking away and we were becoming worried that we would possibly miss our international flight out of YVR. It took close to an hour from the time we requested our car to the time Kieran pulled it up to the front of the hotel. We rushed to the airport to make our flight. We had planned to stop in Vancouver for a meal with friends prior to our flight, but we had to cancel those plans. We called the hotel later (because Kieran explained that the manager does not get in until later in the day) and spoke to Sarah about the situation. She was unapologetic and had an excuse for everything - they knew where the key was the whole time and Kieran just wasn't looking in the right place, etc., etc. Plus, she had the audacity to say, "you made it to your flight right?" As if that was justification for taking close to an hour to pull a car out of the hotel valet that we paid $20 a day for! Overall, the lobby is nice and the rooms had great amenities. However, the great location of the hotel in the village is negated by the loud noise from the bar/club downstairs. This hotel is also severely under-staffed for being in the peak winter season. The service that we did receive (particularly with the management) was atrocious. This was our 3rd time at Whistler but our first time at this particular hotel. We won't be coming back. We had previously stayed at the Executive Inn at the village and the The Coast Blackcomb Suites and had great experiences at both.

This is my first yelp review, If I could, I would give this hotel a fat zero. I am an easy going person and I have never had any problems like I had at Adara. I will first give my overall experience and then describe the rude treatment. The rooms have pretty thin walls and you can hear what TV show your neighbors are watching. At night, there is a night club next to the hotel, and there is no reason to pay to go there when you can hear the music clearly in your room! The beds are a little uncomfortable and are soft. But these are not the reasons I am writing this review. The reason that I am writing this review is because of how we were treated by the staff and the management. I have never been treated so poorly in my life, they went out of there way to be unhelpful at every turn. We stayed at the hotel for 4 nights, we went as a party of 4 girls, we were excited to spend 4 days in Whistler skiing. The first night that we arrived, I went to the lobby and I asked for a couple of extra towels and they denied us the request. The manager said for environment cleaning they can't provide us with any extra towels, he also said that there are 4 towels in the room and that's all you need. I couldn't believe the audacity and rudeness. We are a party of 4 girls and 1 towel per person is not enough, and its not his job to tell us how many towels we need. The next day, we didn't receive any room cleaning and when we got to our hotel I called room service and I asked for some Kleenex and they told me that they already provided us with one Kleenex box on the first day and that's all the Kleenex that they will provide. At this point I asked them if I had offended them and why they were being so rude, but they just told me that this was there hotel policy. The way they talked down to me and my friends was absolutely disrespectful. The Hotel Manager Kiren talked down to us like we were peasants asking for some spare change, and not hotel guests at his establishment. I called around looking for another hotel, but unfortunately they were all booked and we were stuck there. We pretty much felt like we were in jail. Do not stay here!!!

Worst customer service ever. Bad apathetic attitude by the 20-some year old kids at the desk. Cleanliness in the room's bathroom leaves A LOT to be desired. Some stuff like the heating in the fake fireplace was inoperative (but noisy nonetheless!). The worse though is the freakishly expensive valet parking. Not only it makes no sense at all because it is huge, wide and easy to park in, but it's managed by the same idiots at the front desk. Result? I got the hatchback and rear bumper of the car I was driving all scratched. I guess they can't manage a standard transmission as well as they think. When I complained to the manager he denied everything, insisted that the damage was there beforehand and told me that i was on my own and that my hints at "threatening" him with social media actions didn't scare him. That shows you how well the management at that place understands nowadays' business world. Screw them up! I'm not staying back there ever again, even if it's the only room available in town.

Stayed on the third floor in a loft room (319) from January 14-18 and had a great time. The staff was nice and friendly and allowed us to check in early which was greatly appreciated as we had been traveling since 2am. Three of us stayed in the room (two in the loft one in the queen couch) and the size was perfect. They have a boot dryer in the room which is awesome since it was snowing crazy while we were there and our shoes and boots for soaked. A lot of comments mention noise issues but I didn't hear a thing on the third floor but I did hear guests complain that were on the second floor. the location is perfect. It's a few minute walk to the main gondolas to ski and literally across the street from the Heli skiing but which was perfect for us. They provide coffee and cookies which is rad when you get back from skiing and just want a snack. The restaurant attached to the hotel is ok but the staff there was incredibly rude. We went to eat and my boyfriend was really tired so we just asked for the food to go and the lady said no it was too busy and they couldn't so that...HUH? If I sat here you wouldn't be too busy but because we are tired you are too busy? Anyways the hotel I highly recommend and you can't beat it for the price! I suggest hiring a town car if your group is 3 or more and just walking everywhere. Thanks Adara we will be back next season

Nice rooms, good location BUT if you want peace and quiet try somewhere not so close to nightclubs. We found out the hard way. Most clubs don't close till 2am making this hotel very noisy.

Tacky decor aside, the Adara would be a more-than-adequate hotel in Whistler if it was clean. The location is really good and the beds are quite comfy. We visited in low-low-season (late October) and paid an equally low rate which, as we found out, did not include housekeeping. The first room we were given had a generous handful of red hair sitting near the shower drain. I was not in there long enough to see if there were other problems, as we were transferred to another room which was inspected by the front-desk person before she gave us the keys. We didn't want to take the trouble of complaining while we were still there (especially since the room had been given a pass) but the toilet was dirty (pink scum at the bottom), there were coffee grounds on the bathroom floor, the back of the bathroom door had brown-reddish specks that were easy to remove with a wet cloth, there was broken glass in the fridge (!!!), and crud (also easily removed) around the sink drain hole. Really makes you wonder about the bed, which I didn't dare inspect more closely. (The bed, however, was truly comfortable.) When we came back mid-day, we didn't notice the room had been made at all.. until I found out that the toilet paper had been folded in that neat little triangle. Upon checking out, I mentioned cleanliness issues to the front desk. The clerk told me "I will let housekeeping know." She did not offer an apology or even just a "oh sorry about that" of any sort. Maybe they care a bit more about their clients during high season, but it still seems like bad business to just give such a bad image, even in low season for low-priced rooms. We won't go back - but we probably wouldn't have anyway, as the mirror nightstands are not quite our style.

nice decor & layout, nice staff, great location... but a serious lack of cleaning. seems like they renovated for the 2010 olympics and haven't cleaned/maintained since. green shower head, hair on every towel/sheet. cigarette holes on the couch and sheets. smelled of pets. elevator needed serious maintenance... and the pool & hot tub were both closed in july. hmmm - perhaps they should sell the playstation in every room and do a deep clean?

Extremely disappointed! After reading reviews about the noise I called and asked about it. I was told for an up charge I can get a mountain view room and they said you can't hear nightclub noise from those rooms. As I lay here wide awake at 2 in the morning listening to booming music and the DJ talking I'd say I was lied to by the hotel staff. Not to mention how I was charged an extra 40.00 a day upon check in today for my 2 guests I brought with me. Ticked off to say the least!! I chose this hotel for the location which is the only good thing I've seen so far from this hotel. I could have stayed at a much nicer and more quiet place for less money. I am not looking forward to 5 nights of this noise. I come to whistler twice a year and unless the hotel sparkles me in some way I'll never return to adara. I've been ripped off!

Great location for all events in the Village. The rooms are clean and comfortable But very noisy do to the bar or club downstairs. I would request the third floor if you decide to stay so you have a buffer floor between you.They do have ear plugs in the room though! They have great French press coffee in the rooms that is great when coming in out of the cold. Wifi in the room is slow but the lobby is good Hotel manager had a great Golden Retriever that greats you every time you enter the lobby.

This is a very nice hotel.we stayed in the loft suite.erg spacious room with two floors. cozy seating area, tea and coffee available and a koelkast.het hotel is centrally located, close to everything.

No five star hotel, but it was pretty good. Great location, a 30 second walk from all the shops in the village. The rooms appeared to be clean, the staff was friendly. The furniture in the rooms seemed pretty cheap, and the hallways felt a little sketchy. Parking is very pricey. The hot tub and pool were under construction, but thankfully another hotel let us use theirs. Overall, no big complaints, just needs a bit of an update.

Booked 2 nights and they told us we would have to switch rooms for the second night which would be fine, but the lady at the desk said we must check out at 11am and wouldn't be able to check back in until 4pm so we payed for 2 nights but both days were only able to check in at 4pm so barely had any time in the room. The front desk women was not helpful at all any questions we had she replied with "check out is 11, check in is 4" definitely don't recommend staying here definitely a waste of money if you're trying to come for a relaxing getaway and want to hang out in the room. The second day we were wanting to just relax in the room as my friend got hurt the previous day, And when I asked when she thought the room may be ready she said the previous people hadn't left yet which made no sense seeing as it was noon and she was so persistent that checkout was 11am. All around such a bad experience and waste of money would not stay here again ever.

One thing I forgot to add to my last comment was that the girl who was checking out in front of me was waiting for the valet to bring up her car, but instead the girl who worked the front desk gave the customer her car keys and told her whee she can pick up her car. Doesn't valet mean that your car is parked and then pulled out to the front for you? Especially when you are paying $20 for it?

The staff super friendly. Super excited after a long trip from Harrison Hot Springs got to stay in a great hotel with great staff and great amenities. I recommend anyone staying in this area to check out Cody and his evening staff. will be heading back to Whistler in a couple of weeks and we plan on staying right in the heart of Whistler. thank you so much for all your kind hospitality and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
