Hotel Review of the Four Seasons Hotel
Whistler
Nov 6, 2010
Despite it being the shoulder season and the fact that Whistler is a bit quiet
this time of year -- we loved our stay here and this hotel is the perfect place
to truly get away from it all, relax, eat great food and just unwind. Service is
impeccable -- and the staff from the front desk to the restaurant to
housekeeping were all outstanding and tried to cater to all of our needs. The
restaurant, Sidecut, has some of the best steaks we've ever eaten and the wine
list is very impressive. We also love the international flavor of the staff here
-- people from all over the world, who take pride in their jobs (and love the
winter sports).

We decided, at the last minute, to stay at the Four Seasons in Whistler for a
weekend in the shoulder season (based on a discounted rate available at this
time of year). We had a fantastic weekend - in part because of the beautiful
weather and in part because of our stay at the Four Seasons which was great from
start to finish.
THE ROOM
We had booked a Deluxe room but received a complimentary upgrade to a Premier
room. From what I can tell there is no difference between these rooms, other
than Premier rooms are higher up and have a slightly better view. For two
people, a Superior room would be more than sufficient - I think the only
difference is that the Deluxe & Premier rooms have a queen sofabed so you can
sleep more people. The rooms are generous in size (over 500 sq ft) with a
spacious bathroom. I particularly enjoyed the L'Occitane amenities, the
fireplace, and the balcony looking out to the mountains.
THE BED!
The room was great, but the bed was fantastic! We slept amazingly well on the
ultra comfortable bed with luxurious sheets and pillows.
THE AMENITIES
During our short stay we took advantage of the pool, hot tubs and steam room.
Great for relaxing. I especially liked that they have multiple small hot tubs,
so you can still have privacy if there are more than one group of people. We
didn't use other available amenities such as the fitness room or spa.
THE SERVICE
Service was great, as expected. All of the staff we encountered were friendly,
knowledgeable, and helpful.
THE PARKING
My one complaint is the $32 valet parking, which is the only parking option at
the hotel. We were determined to find an alternative, and just around the corner
up the street we found free parking on the street (about a 2-3 minute walk from
the hotel). There is only a small stretch of road with free parking, but being
October, there were plenty of spaces available.

We booked here because everybody I spoke to said we should and they were
right! The rooms were spacious with a great view. Room service breakfast
was right on time and excellent. Dinner at sidecut was delicious. This
hotel did have an older crowd so for a younger couple there wasnt much
going on but for a romantic getaway it was perfect!

First impression, bad. Despite us saying that we do not need valet
service and will park our car elsewhere, he still wrote up the card for
us. When we reiterated that we don't need his service, his reply was,
"well, I've just wasted a form now."
2nd impression. room was big and spacious and love the bathroom. there's
a walk in
closet and a front foyer closet. it was beautiful
3rd impression - there was a corkscrew in the bar area, but no wine
glasses. we've called and asked for it to be sent up, and waited 2.5
hours still nothing. after a 2nd call, they've showed up within 20
minutes.
4th... TV... it's a good thing it's not the 7th game in the stanely cut
playoff. The TV, all weekend long had problems...we've called the front
desk, they've sent someone up while we were out. we came back , and it's
still not working. the engineers came back again, and said a problem
with the cable. he fiddled around with it...
it worked fine for the next few hours and then distorted images again.
at the
time of the check out, I've mentioned this to them, and they said we
were not the only ones with this problem and have called the cable guy
to fix it.
We love the room, but for the price, we would not choose to stay here
again.

Great hotel in many ways including room comfort, location, views, staff,
and quality of restaurant. Ask for deluxe executive suite with mountain
view and I promise you won't be disappointed. Very quiet and lots of
space with lovely views of mountains. Easy access to lifts and village;
we walked everywhere! Nice spa and delicious food Lost lake park trails
are right across the street. Relaxing, mountain luxury.
