Hotel Review of the Four Seasons Hotel
Whistler
21 September 2011
I was able to check in early, and settle in for a nap before the Gran Fondo
finished. Once my husband finished the race we spent the afternoon by the pool.
Absolutely lovely
Service at the pool was a little disappointing but otherwise everything was
great!

This Four Seasons resort sets the bar high with regard to service and
accommodations. Our room (suite) was spacious, well equipped, clean as a whistle
and had a great view. Our room and turned down service could not have been more
accommodating . It is not often you feel the need to comment on the valet
service, but those guys were fantastic. Always a smile, nice conversation and
truly gave the impression that they liked their jobs. Ditto for the concierge
and all the service personnel. And I love the fact that this hotel is trying to
do its part to "go green". Loved the recycle bin in the room. Hard to find
something to offer in terms of criticism with the exception of the wine list in
both the Bistro and Side Cut. Wine by the glass selection is weak and the wine
by the bottle list needs a middle range. The "rub" concept at Side Cut is
relatively new and thus needs a bit of experimentation and tweaking. Those of
you who like to be in the fray during the daytime hours but have a little more
peace and quiet for nightime hours - the location of this resort is great. A
stones throw to the center of the village, but just off the beaten track enough
so as to not be lodging in the heart of the hustle and bustle. Best kept secret
- take a morning walk with your coffee into the village before 6 am and you will
likely run into a bear or two feasting from one of the resort trash cans. Very
smart bears. The trash bins are metal and have self closing locks. The smart
bears have figured this out and use their paws just like a human would to help
themselves to breakfast. But beware - never approach a mother bear and her cub.
You will be their breakfast! If you are a golfer - the following courses are a
must play - Chateau Whistler, Big Sky and Nicklaus North. Great golf and
spectacular views.

Whistler was planned as a romantic ski trip to get away for a few days.
Unfortunately, we were unaware that we booked on a weekend in January when
college weekend was being hosted in the village and we also were unaware that
the weather sometimes leaves a bit to be desired at that time of the year. We
weren't actually able to get on the mountain the entire weekend, because it
rained!
Hotel and staff were terrific, in typical Four Seasons fashion. Ski shop (had we
have been able to use it, was great. Delicious food in the restaurant and an
perfect Pimm's Cup at the bar. My companion continues to talk about the waffle
she had for breakfast each day we were there, as the best things she has ever
had...
You get what you pay for and travel is no exception. Stay at Four Seasons if
you're in Whistler.

The Four Seasons was up to it's game from the initial check in, to the bell
service and valet. Excellent very quiet room with nothing out of place, broken,
or worn. And we were anticipating more of the same as we dragged our weary
bodies (having just completed the Gran Fondo from Vancouver to Whistler) down to
the pool and hot tub for a well deserved soak and perhaps a cold beverage or
two. Sadly this was not to be because for the first time ever at any hotel, in
any country, and in any price range, we were refused entry because the pool was
"FULL" and would be so for at least 1.5 hours hence! We were quite frankly
amazed. A hotel pool full? Seriously? When brought to the front desks attention
our complaint garnered no more than a perfunctory apology and an explanation
that it was a busy weekend and it was sunny. Well thanks for that. Our friends
at the Fairmont had no such issues. It seems we will take our future business
there.

Excellent service and facilities. Really, all you can ask for from a Four
Seasons Resort. The ski concierge makes this my #1 choice in Whistler. Third
time and coming back next year.
BTW, check out Sidecuts, the new steakhouse. Very good steaks.
