Four Seasons Resort and Residences Whistler
A 273-key alpine resort at the base of Blackcomb Mountain, with a gas fireplace in every guest room and a year-round 23-metre outdoor pool
The Privata Perspective
Whistler splits between the village and the mountain base; Four Seasons took the base of Blackcomb — minutes from the lifts for both mountains, with a ski concierge to close the gap. It opened in June 2004, architecture by Burrowes Huggins, interiors by Brayton & Hughes: stone, dark wood, and a gas-burning fireplace in every one of the 273 keys.
Category matters less here than usual: the spread is narrow. Resort, Superior and Deluxe rooms sit within a few square metres of one another, so the premium buys outlook — mountain, valley or forest — not floor space. The Mountain-View Rooms are the ones to ask for; above them sit ninety-five suites, and the Blackcomb Suite at the top.
We book it for families and for skiers who want the mountain without taking a chalet, and for golf parties in summer. December to March is the ski season, July and August the green months, and ski-week rooms go early — we hold them the day the dates are fixed.
Accommodations
Resort Room
48 m² 520 sq.ft.
The entry category and the smallest key in the house — seventeen of them
Mountain-View Room
53.8 m² 580 sq.ft.
Thirty-seven of them, and the only standard room with the view in its name — the outlook is the reason to take one
Deluxe Executive Suite
78.9 m² 850 sq.ft.
Fifty-four keys, the workhorse suite and the easiest of the suite categories to hold on a ski week
The Blackcomb Suite
209 m² 2250 sq.ft.
Two only, and the largest accommodation the Resort lets as a hotel key rather than a residence
Dining
SIDECUT Steakhouse
Steak and seafood
Prime steaks and Pacific seafood under executive chef Shiv Kappal; A5 olive-fed wagyu is the menu highlight the operator prints
Braidwood Tavern
All-day dining
Breakfast, après-ski and seafood-inspired dinners in the Resort's relaxed alpine room
The Library
Whisky bar
The seasonal whisky lounge, with an open fireplace; the press sheet prints the fuller name, The Library by the Macallan

Poolside favourites beside the year-round 23-metre heated outdoor pool
Spa & Wellness
The operator rates its spa among the top in Canada: thirteen treatment rooms behind louvered shutters, a eucalyptus steam room, a cedar sauna and year-round outdoor whirlpools. The signature is the eighty-minute Sea to Sky massage. No floor area is published.
