Hotel Review of the
Tantalus Lodge Whistler
16 September 2011
The 2 rooms suite was perfect for our time in the great small city of Whistler!
There was a full kitchen that was just right to prepare a nice and good meal
before leaving for the day. The rooms have great space, nice amenities and the
hotel staff was very friendly and helpful.
Good size pool and Jacuzzi. The distance from the Village is so small that you
dont want even take the car with you. Takes you about 7 minutes walk to the
gondola station.
Room Tip: If you stay in the second floor you dont need even to wait elevator to
get out and enjoy the city. Ensure you get a kitchen so you can save time and
money with small meals and a good breakfast before a full day activity around
the hotel.

Tantalus Lodge Whistler

My family and I stayed in a two bedroom suite in August 2011. We loved it! We
were up in whistler for a night to attend a concert and found that the Tantalus
Lodge was within walking distance of the village, yet still enough out of the
way that is was out of the busy hustle & bustle of the summer season. The rooms
were very clean! It had a beautiful full-sized kitchen, looked as if it had just
been renovated. (Lovely granite counter tops) The decor was very 'ski lodgey'. I
say that in a good way! It looked as if there were pieces of history hung on the
wall--very cool! Our room had a dining room table with six chairs and a large
living room with a connecting balcony. The balcony overlooked a peaceful park
area. Over all I thought this lodge was fantastic! I would recommend to stay
here. The value was great, the staff was great..
Do it! Book it right now.. you will not be disappointed.

Not bad, but not great I guess is how I'd put our stay! We usually rent a house
or go for larger accommodation options, but since there were only 5 of us on
this trip we decided to book the Tantalus' 2-Bedroom Premier Suite. Tantalus is
about a 5 minute walk to the Village, but note that it is uphill and the
sidewalk shares a bike path. Most of the time we walked up the hill and then cut
through the Westin to escape from cold nights.
Although our suite was labelled as being on the '5th' floor, you actually enter
on the 4th. It can be a long walk around the corridors as was the case for us.
When you enter the suite, you have to go up a long flight of stairs. Temperature
in our suite seemed a bit off as well as when you enter on the 4th floor it's
nice and cool, then as you go up to the 5th, it's pretty warm. We tried
adjusting the thermostats as there's one in every room, but that didn't seem to
change anything.
We were only staying one night (took the Rocky Mountaineer) so for one or two
nights it would be completely fine. The Master has a King Sized Bed with ensuite,
the second room has two twin beds, then there's also a pull-out in the living
room and another washroom, kitchenette and balcony.
We did notice a lot of rooms on the 4th floor seemed to be hosting either stag/stagettes
or big parties. The doors were unlocked and people were coming and going from
them. Maybe because our suite's stairs went up to the 5th floor the noise wasn't
an issue though? Not sure how it would be on the other floors though.
We didn't use any of the amenities as the weather wasn't right for it. There's a
pool, hot tub and tennis court. Front Desk wasn't overly friendly, but allowed
us to store our luggage on check-in and check-out .
We got a really good deal on the suite through a friend, but had we not, I would
probably book elsewhere.

this hotel has very large rooms. they are not luxurious but certainly are
functional.
rooms were quiet.
the hotel is probably about 400 meters from gondola. it is right beside the
Westin. There is a hill to walk over. a bit of a nuisance if sidewalks are
slippery and you are wearing ski boots. there is a shuttle which basically comes
every 5-10 minutes.
This isn't a luxury property but it is quite functional. there are lots of
properties farther from the slopes than this one.
