Hilton Whistler Resort & Spa, Whistler, Canada

· in the centre of Whistler Village · 1 minute's walk to the Whistler and Blackcomb gondolas and ski school meeting point

The familiar face of the Hilton can be found in all corners of the world, and Whistler is no exception. In the heart of the village, only steps away from both the Whistler and Blackcomb gondolas, you’ll find Hilton Whistler Resort & Spa's friendly mountain retreat, complete with comfortable, stylish rooms and plenty of space.

You can choose from two types of accommodation here: a simple, no-frills Hilton room, featuring large double beds with plush feather bedding, or Premier studios that also come with kitchens, perfect for cooking up a quick breakfast or storing your edible goodies to take back home with you.

You’ll never be far from the lively atmosphere of the village either - a minute’s walk in all directions will lead you to a multitude of restaurants boasting a range of cuisines, as well as live-music bars, shops and entertainment facilities.

However, leaving the hotel for food doesn’t have to be an option - especially on a chilly winter’s evening - when you have the Cinnamon Bear Grille on your doorstep. This bar and grill is known for its casual and cool cocktails paired with pub food in the bar, beside sophisticated West Coast creations in the restaurant, whose menu combines the finest local ingredients to create innovative and delicious dishes.

After a day on the mountain, you’ll also be glad to know that a hot shower isn’t the only way to soothe those thigh muscles - the outdoor pool and hot tub are great (especially with their incredible views) or a massage at the Taman Sari Royal Heritage Spa is also guaranteed to go down a treat.
