Are you looking for the perfect hotel for a little getaway, whether it be for your anniversary, mini-moon, or girls getaway?
Beautiful Artwork around the Hotel
Enter Four Seasons in Whistler, BC. I had the pleasure recently to stay at this wonderful hotel and I am now going to share my experience with you and hopefully help you with your trip plans!
I was recommended this hotel by a friend who has stayed at MANY hotels due to her career. She told me it was one of the best hotels she has ever stayed in – so I was intrigued and had t give it a try.
I called and made reservations over the phone and wad advised of the BC and Washington Resident Special. This rate includes valet (which is $40), complimentary wine tasting at 4pm, and other things. Booking over the phone was super simple and quick and the reservation agent gave me all the info I needed to know about my stay. When asked, I advised my stay was for my anniversary. I received my confirmation email which prompted me to download their app. I am not usually a fan of apps outside of the ones I use for my blog or personal social media accounts but thought I’d give it a try to see what it was all about. I LOVE this app. Needless to say I have kept it and plan to use it for my next stay.
Now, I did not expect anything to be waiting in my room because it was my anniversary. The reason being is that the Four Seasons app allows you to customize your stay to receive wine and chocolates, etc upon your arrival for a cost. (Another plus for this cool app!)

We arrived early in the morning and planned to eat breakfast and lounge at the pool until our room was ready. The valet was exceptional (they even pronounced my last name correctly with a French accent). We were well greeted wishing us a happy anniversary and I was happily surprised when checking in with a red rose. And then, we were told we were upgraded to a King Suite on the 8th floor (second from the top) with a beautiful view of the forest and mountains. YES!!!
This hotel is beautiful. And the room… sigh. Why did I ever leave! It was perfect with the most comfortable bed ever. (BTW it was bed bug free. I always check no matter the hotel). One of my favorite rooms is the bathroom including the toiletries. Four Seasons carries L’Occitane. Do I need to say more?
If you forget any of your toiletries, whip out that app and place your order. It will appear at your door in 10mins!
I left the room to walk around the hotel a bit and when I returned another surprise was waiting for us, a delicious chocolate mousse cake with a note from the manager. Yes I ate it all myself without much sharing…I ‘m not even sorry about it. Ha-ha
We ate out in the village quite a bit so unfortunately, for this visit and review I cannot comment on the restaurant Sidecut. But I can say that the patio was beautiful and we did regret not trying it. (Need to leave something for next time!)
I am definitely a pool girl and bought a brand new TRIANGL swimsuit for this getaway. So lounging at the pool was a must and I purposely looked at pictures of the pools at each hotel I was considering. This pool was nice. You need to check in when you arrive at the pool and they will bring you to available lounge chairs and make sure you have towels and a chair wrap prior to sitting down.
Unfortunately it is chair service so you cannot order drinks until you are seated. But that’s not too bad…well it wasn’t a big deal because I hadn’t tried their blended Pina Coladas yet. How could they be depriving me of this AMAZING drink for a whole 10 minutes!! (I still to this day think, or drool, about it).
THANK YOU Four Seasons for such an amazing stay and for making us feel so special. It was exactly what we needed – a perfect little getaway to reset. I cannot wait to go back and will definitely make this a yearly tradition.
Now on a side note, if you are in Whistler, head over to Pure Bread in the village and ask for their adult only rosemary sea salt chocolate cookie. Just do it. I was pleasantly surprised and should have bought a dozen for the ride home alone.
