Nita Lake Lodge

We had an unforgettable stay at Nita Lake Lodge, while celebrating our anniversary! The staff provided exceptional service, making us feel truly special. As a wonderful surprise, we received an upgrade, which made our experience even more memorable. The room was cozy, beautifully designed, and spacious, featuring a fireplace, a breathtaking view, and a relaxing jacuzzi—absolute perfection! The food was delicious, and the spa experience was amazing. We enjoyed the steam room and had one of the best massages ever—it was the perfect way to unwind. Every detail exceeded our expectations, and we truly appreciate the thoughtful touches. We can’t wait to return—highly recommend for a special getaway!

Updating as below has now been resolved. It took a while but happy that the staff have now fixed the payment issue. Nita Lake Lodge is a beautiful hotel with potential if it wasn't for the customer service and bad communication between staff which dampens what should be a luxury experience. I added breakfast to my booking over the phone, quote $30 per person.However, upon arriving at the den for breakfast on 7 Feb, two different members of staff confirmed with me that breakfast was not included on my room and the only option was to pay the menu prices.I then paid $75.52 for breakfast, coffee, and tip. Slightly annoying but I was fine with this. However, at check out they still wanted to charge me $60 for the breakfast I had added, which the restaurant earlier knew nothing about. The desk staff got a manager who I spoke to, and explained the situation. She agreed I had been double-charged incorrectly and promised to reverse the $75 restaurant charge that day as it was possible to do that on the day and would text me confirmation. It then took me over 2 weeks to fully resolve getting my refund. Make sure you get full receipts and written communication from staff at this hotel if possible.

Cannot say enough good things about this place. Food was a little pricey but so delicious. They did have some nice food specials each day and happy hour. Room was clean w gorgeous design. Beautiful location and we really appreciated the shuttle, it was extremely prompt.

My husband and I recently had our wedding at Nita Lake Lodge and we were absolutely blown away by our whole experience. The attention to detail, the beauty of the space, how welcoming and kind the staff were, the service, and the food were incredible. Our guests all had a wonderful time and everyone was talking about how beautiful the space is and how delicious the food was. Our wedding was 80 people including us and the Nita Room was the perfect size. We will be back to Nita annually for our anniversary. It is a very special place to us and we were so delighted and impressed with everything from the second we arrived the day before our wedding (we were welcomed with a bottle of prosecco and a note from Nita’s event manager) to the day we left two days after. Would recommend to anyone hosting a small or mid-sized wedding.

Great place to have a beverage and meal, you can even bring your pooch to most places in the lodge. Very friendly for my service dog in training. Staff are remarkable and very friendly. Walk around the lake and then relax with a cold brew and delicious smash burger and wings.

Most dog friendly hotel I have ever stayed at. Staff was kind and knowledgeable. Loved being right on the lake and able to walk out of the lodge and be on a trail. Small area with sauna, pool and hot tub we had to ourselves when we used it after dinner one night. Nice thick robes in the closet of the rooms. My only suggestion is to have a small microwave in the room to re heat take out food or the food that we brought for our toddler.

We are currently spending the holiday weekend at Nita Lodge, so I am writing a review "while the news is still fresh": the pros are undoubtedly the location of the hotel, it is in a secluded place right on the lake shore in the middle of the forest; the reception staff - we were greeted by a very friendly administrator, we arrived before check-in, thinking that we would leave our things and go for a walk, but the room was presented immediately, which was certainly a pleasant surprise; we were very pleased with the convenient shuttle from the center of Whistler to the hotel (and back) - pleasant drivers, comfortable cars. Further, unfortunately, I have to cancel the cons, since the hotel claims to be Michelin recommended and in such a case it is important to work through and avoid some banal things: 1. the hotel claims to have a public spa area with a hot tub, a small pool and a sauna, which has free access throughout the day, having clarified at the reception whether it is possible to visit the sauna (is it open?) - they confirmed; as a result, came in robes, hoping to warm up in the sauna, we found it turned off and absolutely cold [although the hotel is declared as a spa hotel] 2. the trip was connected with celebrating a birthday and we booked a table at a local restaurant in advance when booking, indicating the occasion of the dinner - as a result, we were given the most nondescript table in the corner right next to the staff passage; the second point, also connected with a dinner in honor of a birthday - for the first time in my experience, dessert was not offered or simply brought out as a compliment (this is such a trifle for any establishment, but the visitor is pleased), but oh well - we ordered, paid and forgot. 3. room cleaning: for the first time I saw a complete lack of cleaning of the room - only the bed was made! dirty dishes stood around the room and remained standing - I washed them myself after a whole day of skiing, there was simply nothing to drink water from! but that's not all: personal belongings were left on the bed (my daughter's pajamas and my T-shirt) - everything was thrown onto the floor in a heap... once again - not put on the chair, of which there are 2 in the room, not put away in the closet, BUT JUST THROWN ON THE FLOOR, the cleanliness of which is highly questionable for me after what I saw... It was very unpleasant to encounter such an attitude of the staff towards their guests for a fairly high cost of accommodation per day! Perhaps my expectations from the hotel were too high, but the disadvantages I noted (especially with cleaning) are unacceptable in my opinion in any self-respecting hotel.

A stunning property with amazing facilities on location. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The rooms were amazing, stuffed with amenities, the heated floors in the bathroom and the big tub and shower made it hard for us to leave the room. The spa on the property has the best RMT message we've ever had and the stream room and roof top hot tubs were beautiful. Can't wait to be back and spend more time at this amazing lodge.

The suite was beautiful also the location is amazing. However I definitely had a few issues that kept this hotel back from being a truly amazing 5 star experience. 1. Room temperature. - pet peeve but please let guest please control thier thermostat. I had the thermo set to cool, set to 21, and it showed occupied on etc. However room temperature was 25° at night I set it down to 18... Nothing. We eventually ended up opening the windows...but quite dissapointing as it was not a comfortable night sleep. 2. The window in our room was finiky at best. It opened fine but closing was quite a bit of work. I was in room 102 I would say that window defs not as easy to close as described in the instructional video. 3. There are some aggresive wasps near the back direct entrance staircase to the lodge. Right by the restaurant, I was literally walking up the stairs and no provocation nothing...stung in my foot. Later that evening same spot my dog get stung as well :( not a pleasent experience to have during a vacation. Now to the pros: 1. Truly gorgeous rooms and washrooms. Really enjoyed the decor 2. The service and staff were spectacular. They were friendly helpfull and kind. Also the shuttle bus driver was awesome and very friendly !! 3. The included paddleboards and bikes + easy lake access was amazing. Complimentary shuttle board was awesome and we really appreciated the box of chocolates they were delicious . Overall we had a great stay. We are hoping next time around we don't have the issues we had this time. But it was a great location and experience and we enjoyed our time here!

We decided to get away from the lower mainland for a few days and I am so glad we did . We stayed at the lodge and took advantage of all its amenities for a real staycation . What a beautiful property. Huge rooms and pet friendly with everything you need . Courtney and Zoe where very friendly, helpful and accommodating on check in , all the staff are amazing. We will definitely be back when in need of a little local get away .

It started with back and forth emails and calls with Kelly & Caitlin, going over various details of my stay. The charcuterie basket was filled with tasty cheeses, meats & flavored kombucha drinks. Every detail fulfilled! Each and every staff member in the dining room, front desk & spa was pleasant, friendly & helpful. No question went unanswered. And dogs! Everywhere dogs! Very classy lodge & staff. Thank you for a memorable, much needed soiree from life. Something many Canadians may not be aware of, is the refined difference between themselves and your neighbors to the south. Noisy, uncouth Big Mac eatin, video game playin, trash leavin, ungrateful and unaware of the astounding beauty of the Whistler Valley. I'm always pleasantly surprised at the quiet, respectful nature of the Canadian people! Grateful, Al Schaller

This is a review for the lakeside restaurant for dinner- The restaurant at Nita Lake Lodge was offering a 3 course menu for $49 so we had to take advantage of it during our stay at the end of May. Options were somewhat limited for the 3 course meal but my selections were the duck confit salad for appetizer, the vegan bolognese for entree, and the affogato lava cake for dessert. First off, the portions were huge! Well worth the value for the 3 course meal where we had to take some of our food home! The duck confit salad was almost an entree on its own. Very flavorful tender duck leg with a nice vinaigrette. I'm not for vegan food but the vegan bolognese was very flavorful where I wouldn't have even known it was vegan! I really liked the crispy kale that was added in it! The affogato lava cake was probably my least favorite of the three but it was still good. Towards the middle had the warm chocolate that poured out and it was rich and a nice way to end the dinner Overall, best value here at the Nita Lake Lodge Lakeside Room for dessert. We would definitely go back here for a nice 3 course meal! Service was also dzce

We stayed there for the week. Hotel is fantastic with two exceptions. Hot tub and sauna was broken and not expected to be fixed. Disappointment. The restaurant was below the bar that they set. Slow service, average food.

100/100% recommend this place if you're staying in whistler. My friend and I stayed in a 2 story 2 bedroom suite for a total of $480/night. For those who have chase rewards & enough points, you can redeem your points for night stay. I booked this through my company deals and it was still pricy for one night... But totally worth my bleeding wallet. Immediately on arrival you see this grand 4 story lodge with beautiful Christmas lights framing the building and hanging orbs over the front entrance. The lobby was heated and very luxurious. Apparently very dog friendly with a couple of dog beds strategically placed around the lobby. Receptionist was very friendly and allowed me to precheck into my room since my friend and I were nearly 5 hours early. Was able to drop off my bags for storage while my friend and I continued to explore Canada. We received a text from them 15 minutes after prechecking in notifying us that our room was ready. So if you're wondering if you can check in early, go ahead and just ask because we definitely did. Our suite was magnificent and worth the 3 dollar signs. Immediately walking in, you can see the lake. There was a large floor to ceiling window with the beautiful view of the lake. The first story room had a large sliding door that opened to the balcony area. Immediately next to the room was the bathroom with the bathtub placed right where you can relax and stare out into the balcony and to the lake. The bathroom also had a large shower for post bath. Floor tiles were heated and very comfortable. Second story also had a great view of the lake from the floor to ceiling windows. Upstairs bathroom only had the toilet and shower but still beautiful. Living room had a fireplace and TV. My friend and I definitely tried to make the best of our stay by eating out in the balcony & eating by the fireplace. Some amenities includes bike riding around the lake. Free bike rentals available provided by the lodge with your nights stay. Heated jaccuzi and pool. I saw alot of people walking their pets around the lakeside trail. Their curb Cafe in the lodge had decent food. Their truffle mushroom/pear flatbread/pizza and Curb salad was delicious. Truffle on the flatbread was pungent. We also ordered the chicken wings with half and half sauce (salt&pepper & soy garlic) FYI the wings are not mixed with the sauce but used as a dip. Wings were too crispy to the point of borderline overcooked. Will be coming back

We came here for my boyfriends birthday and did not expect the menu to be quite little, but very easy to choose from. Right away, we were greeted and had a seat ready for us to dine at! We were sat at a lovely private dining location with a whole lot of water view and peaceful atmosphere. We had time to just relax, before our drinks came and I was very impressed off the bat about their cocktail!! The location and the way it was designed was quite beautiful and fancy, it fit the fine dining atmosphere. We relaxed so quickly. Oh, when the food came that was the way to go for us! THE STEAK WAS COOKED PERFECTLY! LIKE WOW! We even munched at the vegetables!! It was cooked and seasoned so immaculately you'd have to be crazy, not to love the way they cooked their food! Then came their dessert! Ok, let me tell you I called this place in advance just to set up a cozy birthday surprise for my man. They came out with the most gooey and melt in your mouth Lava Cake!! I have nothing bad to say about this place! We came for dinner and even the next day, we came back again for more of the meal! You'd miss out if you hadn't tried this place at least once!

the room was lovely but the walls are thin so I could hear loud voices most of the day. Both hot tubs were not open due to weather. At the restaurant, we had a table for 4 and we all ordered a lunch meal. The restaurant served one lunch order 20 minutes before the other three. So one of us ate their full meal and finished it before the others got their meal. So sloppy. No discount was offered by the waiter.

Had an amazing stay at Nita Lake last summer. 100% recommend this place if you're staying in Whistler. It is not located in central whistler village but the hotel has a free shuttle to transport you to and from the hotel and village, just make sure you check with their schedule. We had the breakfast package for 2 and it was honestly one of the things we looked forward to every morning. Breakfast was amazing and service was just super. You can also rent a canoe/kayak in their little lake area. Make sure you go early in the morning to book an appointment since you can only reserve on the day of (they book out fast). Overall, loved our stay at Nita Lake Lodge and will definitely be back!

My favourite place to stay every time we visit Whistler. It's about a 5 minute drive from the village, but they have a free shuttle to drive you there and back so there's no fussing around with looking for parking. The suites are amazing with a fire place and extra sofa bed, and definitely splurge for the one bedroom lake view suite it's so worth it to sit on your little deck and enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. The rooms are huge with a huge bathroom with separate tub, shower, and water closet. Each room comes with a small kitchenette including a microwave, fridge, plates/utensils, kettle and a Nespresso machine. The staff are friendly, large clean rooms and the cafe and restaurants downstairs are great. There's even a little private dock you can hang out at with small canoes you can take out on the lake. You'll be sure to find me here again the next time we head out to whistler!

Two stars as the food was good. Service and atmosphere were awful. Lots of room in the dining room but we were seated in the far back corner looking at the kitchen entrance and patio renovation. Extremely slow service.

This was such a beautiful cozy hotel! It was my first time in Whistler and I felt like I was in a winter wonderland. The property itself is centrally located and is beautiful with many dining options inside. Our room was spacious and very nice. Beautiful electrical fireplace and luxury bathroom with a soaking tub plus a perfect little patio to enjoy the view

Absolutely delightful summer lunch sitting on the outdoor patio with friends. The service at the lodge is spectacular. The staff are warm and friendly and open to our many questions about the menu. I ordered a flatbread and a salad to share with my husband but I spent most of my time salivating over the duck confit salad and grilled haloumi on my friend's plate. Great wine selection and a good IPA for those that go that way. I would say that this was the best lunch spot that I found in Whistler.

We only stayed here one night but I'm coming back! The suite was beautiful, everyone we dealt with was friendly and efficient, and the breakfast on the patio was great. We were fortunate to have a gorgeous summer day. We didn't try the restaurant for dinner because the lodge is conveniently located right next to the excellent Red Door Bistro, where we went instead, but I'm eager to try it next time.

The property itself is quite nice and well located within a quick shuttle ride to the village. However, the service does not live up to its Condé Nast approved, high end lodging reputation. Our room Was barely cleaned - no refills on nespresso capsules, towels were left unfolded and the ice bucket was still filled with melted ice upon our return. In addition, I would recommend the hostesses at the Den not discriminate among guests and seat people in undesirable areas when there are clearly multiple tables by the lake which remained available throughout our long breakfast. I feel the personnel have not had proper training in guest accommodations/relations - unfortunately there were multiple service personnel, many of who acted as if they would rather be anywhere but working at a hotel.

Amazing! We had a staycation for my birthday at Nita Lake Lodge, and it was everything than we could have hoped for. We loved our time at Nita Lake Lodge, the boutique hotel is nestled on the quiet side of Creekside. It is the ideal location for those who are wanting a getaway with the perks of Whistler Village, but the relaxation that is outside of the busy stroll. We arrived for check in and it was simple and quick. We found our room and were immediately excited with the room. We had booked our stay within the One Bedroom Suite. It is their most popular room and I understand why! You have a divine room filled to fit all your needs and wants. There is a low lying king sized bed with fluffy bedding. Floor to ceiling windows in the bedroom that you can watch the snow fall while drinking your Nespresso coffee! There's a fireplace lit seating area to finish up those work emails. And in addition headed bathroom floors so when you get out of the two person tub your feet don't get cold! The staff were more than sweet to leave a note wishing me a Happy Birthday with chocolates. It was the perfect touch to a perfect birthday. We hope to return within the new year to celebrate my significant other's birthday, as this is our new favourite place.

Not at all worth the cost which they charge. They had audacity to charge 25 dollars to park overnight after charging 400 dollars for the room. Never ever considering the place again. The receptionist was cold and not at all accommodative. We came in at 3:20 and they did not give us room key until 4 pm. Worst place with bad customer service and total rip off ! We paid 40 dollars extra for the breakfast package but it was disappointing. The breakfast was not filling at all and lacked options. I would have been better off spending that money some where else. Also, do note that if you are paying for breakfast, they will add 18 percent gratuity by default on the total bill. Everything in Whistler is designed to rip you off without providing comparable value in return. After this stay at Nita lodge, we decided that if we ever travel to Whistler again from Vancouver, we will never stay in any of these bad overpriced hotels. We are better off carrying all food and everything in a cold box in a car and including camping gear than stay in this overpriced hotels. The worst 500 dollars that I ever spend for a one night stay in Whistler.

We have stayed at Nita in the past and it has been an incredible experience. The hotel has gone down hill and the managers lack integrity. We booked in May for an August stay. We called and emailed regarding needing RV parking and were told it would not be an issue. Day 3 of our stay and we were abruptly asked to move our RV. Where to? Off the property, but it can't be here. Additionally, we were originally in one room and on night two there was a large leak. We had to move rooms in the middle of the night due to this, which is not a small feat. The hotel is dated - doors on dressers, cupboards, etc. don't close. The key cards rarely work. I am unsure if they switched owners or never bounced back from COVID, but I would not recommend staying here at its current state.

Usually we look at the typical slope-side resorts like the Pan and Westin, but this go around (thanks to credit card points) we booked at Nita. It was off the beaten path and we've never based out of Creekside before, but gave it a shot. So happy we did. Fantastic stay all around, calm and serene. We'd for sure do it again. We booked a lake view 1 bedroom (upgraded to 2 bedroom) and stayed two nights. Both nights we ate at Cure which was also fantastic. Only two recommendations I'd suggest: #1. 5 stars for providing Nepresso for in room coffee! Score. But the coffee mugs provided are too large to fit under the dispensing spout. As a result, mugs need to be jammed in at an angle, which feels like they're going to fall out - and just kinda gross having to press clean mugs against the underside of an in room espresso maker. It'd be great if you provided two cup options: 1) two espresso cups for use with that option; and 2) two medium size mugs (cappuccino style) for the larger cup option. If you want to leave the regular size coffee mugs in the room for tea, that's fine too. #2. Let the front desk staff know that guests should add their name to the waiting list at Cure (in lieu of the fact that reservations are not provided). We called down to front desk and asked about making a reservation at Cure, but was told no reservations are take or needed - just come down. So we hung in our room for an hour, cleaned up after skiing and then went down for dinner, around 7pm on a Saturday night. At the hostess stand, she let us know that there is a one hour wait for a table. We explained that front desk said to just come on down and the hostess informed us that they have a waiting list we could add our name too and they'll call us when a table is ready. Obviously it would've been good to know that ahead of time so we could add our name to a waiting list (not sure what the difference between a no reso policy is while offering resos), but just a little thing. Front desk could've explained that better. Otherwise, great trip and we'll be back. 5 stars for sure!

"My three star experience at a five star property" The property is absolutely beautiful but our overall experience was a little disappointing. Room We booked a studio suite and were given a handicap accessible room (#201) in which the bulk of the square footage was in the hallway and bathroom which was equipped with a roll in shower and not the glass door shower pictured in advertisement. Even more of a surprise is that the person checking us in never mentioned it, we did not request an accessible room and when we called down to ask for a room with a non-roll in shower, we were given a traditional suite which had a balcony. If it was available all along, why were given an accessible room? The newly assigned room was much nicer in that there was more living space and it resembled TripAdvisor photos, but the lights in the hallway entrance and on the balcony were blown out. The next morning we mentioned it to the desk rep and the hallway light was fixed. Meaning we never could enjoy the balcony after dark. Restaurant We tried to enjoy the restaurant but things did not work out. At 845p, we were told the restaurant's kitchen closed early because it was slow most of the night. Parking $20 per night seems a bit steep when considering this property's location and I suspect there are guests who park in the same area free of charge. You pull up to the gate and push the button to enter. Spaces are numbered but you can park anywhere. **The bar and restaurant (Red Door) next door offer free parking. Amenities There is a full service spa, a few hot tubs, free shuttle service to the village and a kitchenette in each room.

Some pros, some cons, but overall a great stay. Firstly, don't book a mountain view room. We did, because it guaranteed a balcony (same price as Lake View), but it was literally a view of a parking lot, and it was too cold to use the balcony anyway lol. Lake view would be much, much nicer. The room we had was facing another room (we were 318, facing suite 218, which had a HUGE balcony) and that room had a party one night with 20 people sitting and drinking and laughing on their balcony. Normally not an issue, but I'm pregnant, and so "late night" for me isn't that late...I had noted a month earlier when I booked the room that I wanted a QUIET room, so they should have anticipated this, because as it turns out, it was a party booked through the hotel, so they knew they'd be out there drinking etc. When I called down to ask when the party would be done, so at least I'd know when the quiet would occur, they couldn't really tell me - it took me three phone calls down to finally get a real answer, which is all I wanted. Then, that same night, I noted the foot of light shining in from the parking lot/street into the room. It drove me nuts. I didn't sleep AT ALL. This time I wrote in to guest services and Sam came in the morning to help us (thanks, Sam!). She was great, really cared about our experience and making sure everything from then on was going to be okay. I really appreciate when customer service cares, especially after a rotten experience in Vancouver, so I was thankful for her. After that, the experience was really great. We loved the living room/tv set up, the tub was fantastic, and the location turned out amazing - we walked the Valley trail to Whistler Village and saw black bears! We had dinner at Red Door Bistro next door, and every morning we could grab delicious food and drinks at the cafe located in the hotel (check in deal for 15%, Yelpers!!!). Overall, I would still recommend this hotel because I know if there was an issue, they would make sure to fix it. oh! And get take out from Creekbread, it's like 3 minute walk away. Way nicer than staying in over saturated and busy Whistler village! The spa is fantastic as well.

I love this resort, however, this stay feels much different to others. I'm not sure if it is due to covid, but the service levels have really dropped in the restaurants and lounge. Everyone is nice enough but so far it has been very long waits for drinks, food and to even to get greeted at the hostess stands. Understandable with current circumstances, but still disappointing as prices are still steep for not having the service levels we are used to here. Wishing them the best of luck that they are able to turn this around and get back to the amazing place we rave to all our friends about.

Nita Lake Lodge is one of the most beautiful hotels I've ever stayed in Whistler. I'm not just talking about the rooms, but also the exterior, lobby, restaurants and view. My husband and I stayed at Nita Lake Lodge for two of our close friends' wedding. The lodge is located on Lake Placid Road, just across the street from Whistler Village. They offer a free shuttle service into the village from 7AM-11PM, -all you need to do is arrange the ride with front desk (unless you're up for a brisk walk). Parking is located underground and there is plenty of parking. If you prefer to drive, there wouldn't be any problems looking for a parking spot again when you come back. As I walked into the lodge, I was greeted warmly by 2 staff members asking if I needed any assistance. Staff at the front desk were equally as welcoming and check in was a breeze. I also noticed quite a few dogs on the property. They have dog friendly rooms and even have dog treats at the front desk or available to purchase in the cafe. The rooms itself were spacious and relaxing. The washroom is huge as there was a shower with seating area as well as a bathtub. I took a bath and shower as much as I could to enjoy my time in the room. The counter space in the washroom was spacious enough to lay out my makeup and hair accessories without feeling crowded. The fireplace was a nice touch and so was the little bench near the room door to put on your shoes. There's a microwave and mini fridge in each room, but no stove. The balcony had 2 sturdy seats and table if you wanted to enjoy some breakfast out there. The wedding felt like a fairy tale. The on-site wedding coordinator as well as the food / beverages manager were pros. The servers during the wedding were extremely helpful and accomodating. If you decide to stay at Nita Lake Lodge eiher for a vacation or a wedding, rest assured you'll be in good hands.

So great I recommend sitting outside with a Lakeview it is such a great place especially the restaurant

Beautiful lodge, amazing customer service. Our view was stunning! It did not disappoint! We will def be back!

We had a good stay here for a wedding. The room was nice with a heated floor in the bathroom as an added bonus with the fireplace . The gym was a bit odd being a Separate business with people training, but got the job done.

Canada you officially have my heart and Nita Lake Lodge made it happen! Traveling to the Vancouver/Whistler area for the first time to celebrate our baby moon we were looking for a relaxing mountain lodge experience. Nita lake provided that and so much more. Located outside of the Whistler Village area in a more quiet residential area, Nita Lake offers great Mountain and Lakeside Views of the great Canadian outdoors. Upon arrival we were greeted promptly and allowed to check in early since our room was all ready for us. The front desk employee was extremely friendly and walked us through all of the amenities that the lodge had to offer. But her friendliness did not stop there, everyday she greeted us and even during check out remembered it was our baby moon. From the front desk, the lounge areas, drivers, restaurant and housekeeping each employee was exceptionally friendly and went out of their way to ensure we had a great stay. Our room over looked Nita Lake and while it was all snow it was a breath taking view. The fireplace in the room allowed for a more romantic feel, and each part of our suite was just perfect. We came for a relaxing getaway and achieved that and more! Because of this wonderful stay we are already starting to plan our next trip with our new baby boy! Thank you so much for an unbelievable stay!!

Nita Lake Lodge is one of those special places that is *more* than just a hotel. Located on a small, semi-private lake, and nestled against a wooded hillside, Nita is a serene respite from city life. Rooms: Rooms feature high ceilings, gas fireplaces, patios/decks (some units), a neat mini kitchen (w/ fridge), and truly luxurious bathrooms. The bathrooms are the standout feature here - heated tile floors, soaker tub, separate tiled glass door shower with bench feature, L'Occitane toiletries, plush white towels, and lots of counter space. Robes and slippers are provided, as well as coffee (w/ French Press), tea, and a selection of magazines. Pay extra for the lake view - it's why you're here, right? Hotel Amenities: The hotel has several event/meeting rooms. Dining options include a light fare cafe, an energetic lounge, and an upscale bistro. The hotel has an outdoor pool and large tiled hot tub on the main floor. The pool area is bordered with beautiful tall cedar trees and features a view of the lake. Two small fiberglass hot tubs are located on the rooftop via the spa. Underground parking is available for $20, which is fairly standard rate for Whistler. Location: Nita is located in Creekside and is a hefty walk from town. The hotel offers a free shuttle to and from the village, which can be hailed on demand via the front desk. Nita is walking distance to a neighbourhood pub, an eclectic diner, and various shopping/groceries in Creekside Village. Nita is located right on the Valley Trail - exit the hotel on the north side and start your adventure on foot or wheels. To be fair, the trek to and from the village is a downside to Nita; however, if you're looking for more relaxation than shopping then this location may ultimately better meet your needs. Staff: All of my staff interactions - in person and on the phone - have been excellent. Maintenance staff were quick to address our thermostat issues. Booking staff kindly accommodated our request to group our booked rooms to the same floor/wing. Thanks for the great stays, Nita. We will be back.

I have stayed at the Nita at least 4 times now and always can't wait to return. The location at Creekside is nice because you are away from the noise of the village yet there is a free shuttle that runs on the half hour to take you to the action. Lounge food is good. I haven't tried the fine dining restaurant but it looks to be amazing. Hot tub and pool by the lake have a pretty view. Room is huge. Nice gas fireplace and for the suites with balconies they are large and roomy. The double soaker tubs are so awesome. There's a nice ledge around them so you can bring a glass of wine with you into the bath or place some pretty tea lights around. Plenty of counter space for all of your makeup and toiletries. The heated floors made us very happy. The little kitchenette has all you need to keep simple snacks cold and a microwave also. The tv and couch area even in the studio suite is super roomy. No tripping over one another and your luggage here. I love this hotel and will always return. Note that it's much more affordable in the shoulder seasons !

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!! I absolutely love this hotel. This was my second visit here and it was more amazing than the first (bigger room might have something to do with it). I really like that there's 30 minute guest parking out front so you can park, check in, park downstairs and then go up to your room. Easy peasy. Our room was amazing. Two bedroom two baths for 2 people on their anniversary. Ridiculously funny. The check in staff member, Nancy, was hilarious when she said "you can each have your own bed!" LOL. When we walked into our lakeview room and saw our anniversary treats they left for us - adorable! The room was amazing with two bathrooms, two king beds, a balcony, etc etc. L'Occitane toiletries? Oh my. We really enjoyed the room, the view, the quaintness of being on the lake vs in the Village, breakfast at Aura, being right next door to Red Door, and the spa! We can't wait to stay here again!

Luxurious ski lodge. One of the better ones I have seen here in Whister- without the hefty price tag of the Ritz or Four Seasons. Nita actually won an award for being the best resort in all of Canada which is truly amazing and understandable once you get here. It was my first time in Whistler, and I could not have picked a better resort. Between the in-suite fireplace and the relaxing hot tubs and a great yoga studio, I haven't been this relaxed in years. The coffee and tea in the room were actually drinkable and good, room service was excellent, and the front desk staff was also friendly and useful. The bathroom was gorgeous, with a lovely large tub and plenty of space. The bed was clean and comfortable. I can't even write a review to do this place justice, as it really was just lovely. It is the only hotel that gives you free lockers at Creekside, so make sure you use that. You can lock your stuff there overnight and then ski down to the base area (not for beginners- they will have to shuttle over to the village). The shuttles were on time and all the staff on those were also excellent. Traffic does accrue in town around 3:30-4 when the lifts close so the shuttle can be delayed at that time, but otherwise it was not too inconvenient. A taxi cost about $13 Canadian from the village to the hotel. Even tho this hotel was not in the Village, I liked the peace and quiet of it compared to being closer to the base. It was never inconvenient to go skiing or into town. Highly recommended as a hotel if you are going to Whistler, I know I will definitely be back. Just book early, it's a small hotel and most time is sold out during ski season.

Love this place and we will return. I highly recommend it for a getaway or event. We are in the restaurant and the food was really good. It had great atmosphere as well.

Wow. Our stay at Nita Lake Lodge has been absolutely incredible. The staff is outstanding! So thoughtful and caring. We really enjoyed the spa and the amazing lake view. When we arrived there was a note with some chocolates wishing me a happy birthday and anniversary. Really started the trip off to a great start and everything since then has been nothing short of magical. Amazing kitchen and food, amazing atmosphere, amazing spa and hot tub, amazing staff. Thank you for giving us a magical vacation. We will definitely be coming back here every year now. Keep up the amazing work

This was a great hotel to stay at in whistler. It has the nice lodge feeling and looks beautiful in the snow. It is right on the lake which offers awesome views. There are also a few options to eat at this hotel. The rooms are very nice and modern. They are pretty spacious. Our standard room had the bedroom area, a living room area, and a nice big bathroom. The bathroom has a tub and shower. The toilet is in its own room so it's nice if someone else wants to use the sink at the same time. The awesome thing is that the tile floors are heated in the bathroom. There is also a fire you can easily turn off and on. There is a little kitchen area that has a sink, fridge, microwave, hot water boiler and coffee maker. Don't forget to check out the spa, hot tubs and pool. Apparently they also have a yoga studio. The staff are all pretty nice at this hotel. There is a shuttle service to take you to whistler village. The only down side is that it is not ski in ski out. They ask you to store your ski equipment in the locker area in creek side.

After several hotels, destinations, flights, and activities, it all ended at Nita Lake Lodge. The place was quite unexpected for me. I was thinking rustic, dated, room in a log cabin but it is a wonderful combination of modern luxury that does not spoil the surroundings. The room was very spacious. The high ceiling was almost 15ft - or it sure looked like it. The living room/bedroom had a passthrough fireplace which we used and really appreciated. The bathroom looked bigger than some of the rooms we stayed in - it even had heated stone floors! Large windows adorn the rooms and though we had a trail and forest view, it was nice to open the fall-in patio door and let nature in. Next time, I think we will pay more for the lake view - it would be worth it! We did not have a chance to enjoy the facilities as we arrived late and left mid morning. All the activities are included - bikes, boats, and anything else outdoor-wise. They have a nice pool and a hot tub, as well as, the Lake! What a delight. Though the Lodge is pretty expensive during peak season, I have no issues with paying the price for such a stay - unlike other places we have been during our west province trip. If you happen to want to go to Whistler, skip the village and stay at the LODGE!

Gourgeous place to visit! We randomly picked Nita Lake Lodge for our small anniversary gateway, and definitely it was the right choice! The first day it was raining, but we still could enjoy our balcony with the lake view, some cheese, fruits, and the silence, which were so needed The price matches the quality Don't miss the restaurant on the first floor, just for the service I am already willing to give 5*, the food is also great. Definitely will come back in the near future and recommend to our friends!

Our studio room was so beautifully designed, clean, very spacious and well thought out in terms of all the little details. We loved the huge stone-tiled bathroom and we found the bed comfy. The food in the Cure Lounge, as well as our breakfast at Aura, was very good as well - loved the uniquely prepared and flavorful Potato Herb Hash. Just 10 minutes' drive before hitting Whistler Village (they offer a free shuttle too), this beautiful Lodge is nestled on Nita Lake and surrounded by lush green space and mountains. Also a great place to stay when hiking Joffre Lake or surrounding areas. We also had a delicious meal at Red Door Bistro just next door. Aside from the finicky sliding doors in our room, there were no disappointments here! Thank you again for making our 1st wedding anniversary stay a memorable one! Karen & Joe Sierpina

We wanted two glasses of Champagne and sliders before the mad dash back to Vancouver. But they don't sell by the glass any more and they didn't have the sliders...forget why... so, Prosecco! works. favoloso! Excellent burger with crispy onion ring. The "best burger" Kare has ever had. And shes a woman that travels first class, and down-home: appreciates lovefests wherever found. One of our great many mutual modes of travel through life. Elegant salad. Truly. Melt in the mouth greens... Great waiter Tom, from Bath. Magical ambiance, on the beautiful deck, on a small lake, in the midst of mountain tops, bathed in sunset light. Golden moments. Live for to die for. ... and a dear dear friend. Pretty sweet.

My daughter and I love Nita Lake Lodge. We are back again and this time my daughter brought her boyfriend to snowboard with and share one of our favorite places to visit. Just came from Calgary, Banff and Jasper. Looking forward to the second 1/2 of our vacation as our train ride from Jasper got cancelled. This time we got a lake front suite. Can't wait for the much needed rest and relaxation at our favorite lodge and spa! I'll continue my review after our week stay at Nita Lake Lodge. Looking forward to awesome service and pampering at the spa!

Returning customer. Always great service and friendly staff that always tries hard to fulfill your needs. You get a lot of room for your money and it's pet friendly. rooms don't smell like pet friendly very clean and up to date. I find that a lot in other pet friendly places where you can smell dogs. They have changed and upgraded restaurant and bar also their menu it's delicious. pastry is baked in house fresh out of the oven. Best danish I ever had. You can use their bikes and kayaks and Sup boards on the lake. They also have complimentary shuttle.

We had an awesome experience in Whistler - props to the staff at Nita Lake Lodge. The hotel itself is relatively new (about 5 years now), but the design is gorgeous and fits perfectly into this mountainous region. (See photos!) We stayed in a suite facing Nita Lake - a beautiful view worth waking up to every morning. The suite itself is incredible... so much attention to detail. We also happened to be here on the weekend of the Red Bull Joyride (coincidence), but luckily most of the crowds were in the village and NOT at Nita Lake. So we were able to enjoy peace and quiet! Tons of great amenities too. Parking in Whistler is difficult... so they have a shuttle service to take you anywhere! There's also bikes, kayaks and canoes, and other things that you can borrow to explore the great outdoors. There are trails that run between the lakes and through the valley, easily accessible from the back entrance. And every staff member we interacted with was extremely hospitable and knowledgable about the area. This is the #1 hotel on TripAdvisor, and our experience definitely confirmed that. If you're looking for a relaxing experience in Whistler, away from the crowds, Nita Lake is the place to be. -- PHOTOS: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/nita-lake-lodge-whister?userid=Vx-l5rI0xAiN4SeBonrgkw#j9S06qFvxfn0JKuD_tkUSw http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/nita-lake-lodge-whister?userid=Vx-l5rI0xAiN4SeBonrgkw#rDEGFQSMPipeI_CjZVLc2A http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/nita-lake-lodge-whister?userid=Vx-l5rI0xAiN4SeBonrgkw#gJiglMFO19G5gfKcer5viw http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/nita-lake-lodge-whister?userid=Vx-l5rI0xAiN4SeBonrgkw#UrnEJsmCY--r94Qk4tweGg http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/nita-lake-lodge-whister?userid=Vx-l5rI0xAiN4SeBonrgkw#bRFOdmG2EIlfOqHAuAHZoQ http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/nita-lake-lodge-whister?select=3eQjvDlRWekDPgqqsgW6cQ#3eQjvDlRWekDPgqqsgW6cQ

Heaven on Earth! One of the most beautiful and enjoyable places we've stayed. So many fun things to do and spectacular sights to see. While we were there, we biked and canoed (complementary of the hotel), strolled, lounged, drank...all without having to leave Nita Lake. But if you do want to head into town, there's a complementary shuttle service(pickup/drop off). We had a lake view room: saw the "resident" bald eagle everyday and a beaver once.

Have stayed here multiple times but most recent visit was disappointing. Booked a lakeview room 2 months in advance, on day of check-in was given "last available" lakeview room. Room was on second floor and view of lake is half blocked by the ground floor roof. Cigarette butts from previous guest on balcony ledge. Requested different room and was told nothing available except non-lakeview. If this is how returning customers are treated, no thanks.

I can't say enough about this place. The service here was second to none. My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon, and we couldn't have made a better decision. Lots of on site restaurants and bars, as well as many options in walking distance. The shuttle service to Whistler Village was very convenient. We never had to wait long for a ride when needed. Lots of free rentals (bikes, paddle boards, kayaks) offered at the lodge as well. The room was great, we had a great view of the lake. The staff was amazing up and down. They went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our honeymoon. So friendly and accommodating. I would recommend this place to anyone. We loved it so much we stayed an extra day. We will definitely be back in the future.

Perfect romantic getaway spot! Look no further - just book it (highly recommend the upgrade to lake view). Beautiful, comfortable, upscale yet natural feeling lake front lodge. Nita Lake itself is quite small but still lovely to paddle around on for a short time. Excellent location and amenities, beautiful facilities (some minor wear on the wood in bathrooms and bedrooms but it was still very nice), fantastic friendly staff. Location: across the highway from Creekside which has some shops/restaurants. Just a 15 minute walk along the path or 10 minute walk along the road to the Rimrock Cafe (highly recommended). Located right on the bike/walking path, 40 min walk to Whistler village along a lovely trail - or take the free shuttle. Amenities: bikes (albeit very uncomfortable seats), canoes, kayaks, hot tubs, plunge pool, cafe/bakery, lounge/bar, restaurant, spa, on demand shuttle to/from Whistler Village from early morning to late evening. FYI, there is an additional $20 per night charge for parking.

It only takes one bad experience to ruin a place. My wife and I have been here about 10-15 times. It's much easier to drop in and grab a glass of wine and a burger then other resorts in Whistler. However, we had a nice dinner planned with some friends and my wife's main course was undercooked. She complained and sent the dish back and ordered the Salmon as a substitute (which was wonderful). With wine and cocktails our bill was approaching a few hundred dollars but we noticed our undercooked entree was still on the bill. They refused to take it off and offered her a discount on her undercooked entree of 20%. This totaled a whopping six bucks. This was a discount on a dish that was NOT cooked properly and that was not consumed. It wasn't like she lost her appetite and decided to return her meal. She ordered a more expensive entree as a replacement that we were more then happy to pay for. Oh well... it was nice while it lasted.

I was very excited to take my boyfriend away for a weekend celebration. After reading a cool article in Vitamin Daily Nita Lake Lodge seemed like a really cool hotel to call home base while we wined and dined ourselves silly in Whistler. First impressions were great, the decor and atmosphere are beautiful. The service on the other hand was HORRIBLE! Not only did they not clean our room....even after we called the reception desk THREE times. The toilet didn't work and we had to ask them TWICE to come fix it and it didn't get down until 11pm one of the nights we stayed there? To give a little bit of context my boyfriend had just returned from a two-week business trip through Africa. So it's not like we're snobby travellers or expect the world, just what we pay for. After bringing up the issue to the desk staff and filling out a lengthy feedback form upon check out I was told someone would follow up with me about my stay. No discount or perk was offered at that time for the hassle but I thought they'll be in touch so I'm sure it will work itself out. Nope not even close. It's been over a month and no a single person from the hotel has contacted me even to apologize. For what they're charging you're better off staying at another hotel in Whistler. It may be a beautiful hotel, but if I can't get the basics like my bed made or fresh towels I'd rather not stay there. Cmon even the Days Inn can get that right.

Some people go to the beach to relax. We head up into the mountains. During our time in Whistler, Nita Lake Lodge was our little hideaway, insulated from the touristy hubbub of the Village. The location, amenities and service made it easy to relax. Our room overlooking the lake (definitely worth the upgrade) had a balcony, a gas fireplace, and a soaking tub. Though we didn't take advantage of the spa, we did enjoy the outdoor hot tub with its mountain views. Complimentary breakfast, bike rentals, and shuttle service to the Village made our stay even more pleasant. Highly recommended.

I usually go up to Whistler every six weeks or so and I stay at a different place each time due to my enjoyment of vast different experiences in my journey of life. One thing I found odd was that they wanted payment in full on CC before arrival. This was the first time I've experienced this as I usually give my CC to hold the room then I either pay cash or debit upon either arrival or checkout and they didn't seem to want to budge in this. So ok, since I was t planning on stiffing them anyways, I just paid it. I booked a penthouse suite with a loft that was dog friendly and to my surprise for being a dog room it was exceptionally clean and lacking of dog smell. I got a lake view room and as an author, it was bliss to write in such a quiet serene environment. The view of the lake was beautiful. The cable wasn't working but I came to relax anyways. The rooms are quiet and dark at night once the blinds are closed which make for a nice deep sleep. They use high quality shampoos, deep conditioning conditioners and body wash that's organic. They leave organic fair trade coffee in the room, bath bombs for your deep soaker tubs and good quality towels and sheets I'd say are minimum 800 thread count. I was pleased with what I paid for and happy with my experience
