History
Fairmont Chateau Whistler opened its doors in 1989 at the base of Blackcomb Mountain in Whistler, British Columbia, a decade after the ski resort itself was established. The hotel's castle-like châteauesque architecture was designed to complement the alpine setting. An expansion in 1997 brought the room count to 550 and added a ballroom and expanded spa. The hotel served as a venue during the 2010 Winter Olympics and is the premier ski-in/ski-out luxury property on the mountain, offering 39,000 square feet of event space and the acclaimed Vida Wellness Spa.
