We are proud to share that Fairmont Chateau Whistler has been named the #2 Resort in Canada in the 2025 Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards. This recognition is especially meaningful because it’s voted on by the readers — travellers who’ve experienced the magic of this mountain and the heartfelt hospitality of our team.

So what makes us one of the best? For us, it all comes down to a powerful mix of place, people, and purpose.

A Setting Unlike Anywhere Else

Tucked at the base of Blackcomb Mountain, Fairmont Chateau Whistler is the only true ski-in, ski-out luxury resort in Whistler, and every season here is unforgettable. Guests wake to alpine air, forested views, and the sound of adventure calling. Whether you are gliding down powdery slopes, teeing off on our Audubon-certified golf course, or taking a slow morning by the pool, the mountains are always at the heart of the experience.

Our proximity to Whistler Village means the best of the region is right at your doorstep — but you might find that everything you need is already here.

A Culinary Program as Inspired as the Setting

Dining at Fairmont Chateau Whistler celebrates the richness of the region, from Pacific Northwest flavours to authentic tacos on the terrace. Our chefs work closely with local farmers, foragers, and fishers to bring the best of British Columbia to your table.

Signature experiences like our Fireside Fondue, Radiante Taqueria pop-up, and The Grill Room’s wine-paired menus offer something for every palate — and every occasion.

Service That Sets Us Apart

Behind every great stay is a great team — and ours is second to none. From the moment guests arrive, they’re met with warmth, care, and a level of service that feels both personal and intuitive. Whether it’s a perfectly timed recommendation, a thoughtful room detail, or simply being remembered by name, it’s the people of Fairmont Chateau Whistler who turn a beautiful resort into an unforgettable experience.

This recognition from Travel + Leisure belongs to each member of our team, whose passion and professionalism define what it means to be one of Canada’s best.

More Than Mountains: It’s the Moments That Matter

Ultimately, being named one of Canada’s best resorts isn’t just about luxury amenities or breathtaking views, it’s about how you feel when you’re here. We are endlessly inspired by the guests who come to celebrate milestones, reunite with friends, or simply escape into nature for a while.

We are grateful to everyone who voted in the Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards, and to every guest who continues to make Fairmont Chateau Whistler part of their story.

Whistler Wellness, Elevated

Whether you are seeking restoration or rejuvenation, wellness at Fairmont Chateau Whistler is woven into the rhythm of each day. Start with a few peaceful laps in our indoor-outdoor pool, reset in the steam room or saunas, or stretch it out with a morning hike just steps from your door. Prefer to unwind with a little indulgence? A soothing massage at Vida Spa or a moment of stillness on a mountain-view lounger might be just the thing.

Here, wellness isn’t one-size-fits-all — it’s personal, intuitive, and always in harmony with the mountains that surround us.

Experiences That Deepen the Stay

Our guests consistently tell us: it’s the unexpected moments that leave the biggest impression. One of the ways we create those moments is through our Whistler Experience Guide program — a collection of guided adventures included with your stay, led by knowledgeable local hosts who bring Whistler’s stories and landscapes to life. From alpine lake paddles and scenic hikes to cultural discoveries and forest walks, each outing invites guests to connect more deeply with the mountain and the region around it. It’s just one more reason we are proud to be recognized among Canada’s best.
