We can imagine the pressure was on during the construction of the Westin Resort and Spa in the late 1990s - it occupies the last remaining mountainside site in Whistler Village. Judging from the result, it delivers the magnificence suited for this locale, a first-rate Whistler resort in any season.
The Westin Resort and Spa Whistler consists of 419 suites, fine dining at Aubergine Grill, Avello Spa and Health Club, indoor and outdoor pools and hot tubs and a Eucalyptus steam room. But it’s the ambiance that really makes your stay complete. This is a perfectly-balanced combination of mountain lodge and luxury hotel - an exhilarating blend of wood, stone, plenty of glass and thoroughly modern décor. The guest rooms, for example, offer fireplaces - how could you visit Whistler without one? - along with flat panel TVs, wireless Internet and in-room movies and video games.
So maybe we’ve changed our mind about all the pressure to build a fantastic resort here in this enviable location. In fact, we wound up asking ourselves: was all of this inspired by the surroundings? Or did it just naturally happen that way?
