2 stars because the hotel unfortunately plays loud music in the pool area until past midnight, even though the pool closes at 10pm. The music is so loud in the pool area that we could hear it loudly in our room even with the balcony doors and windows closed.

2 stars because the hotel unfortunately plays loud music in the pool area until past midnight, even though the pool closes at 10pm. The music is so loud in the pool area that we could hear it loudly in our room even with the balcony doors and windows closed. We ended up having to call the front desk both night we stayed (sun and mon nights so not even a weekend) to ask for the music to be turned down since we could not sleep because it was so loud. It was unfortunate because our room was comfortable and clean and sitting on our balcony at night would have been quite nice, the constant loud music really was very disappointing. If I stayed in this hotel again I would definitely make sure not to have a balcony on the side of the building that the pool is on. Read less

Tired hotel. Our room is on the second floor of the south tower and near the pool. A terrible chemical air freshener smell upon entering that has stayed pungent even though our window has been open for several hours. The “leather” on the headboard is torn and ripped. I booked and prepaid for the room using the Amex Online travel portal, using… Read more
Tired hotel. Our room is on the second floor of the south tower and near the pool. A terrible chemical air freshener smell upon entering that has stayed pungent even though our window has been open for several hours. The “leather” on the headboard is torn and ripped. I booked and prepaid for the room using the Amex Online travel portal, using our platinum card. With the platinum card, I get automatic Gold status with Hilton which is useless because there are no clearly laid out terms and conditions, in fact in the Hilton app, it plays out all these benefits for my stay. Except when I requested the upgrade at check in, there were no rooms available “fully booked” and when I asked about the breakfast or food and beverage credit, I was told that because I booked through a third party, I couldn’t use that benefit. And there is a $25 daily resort fee - for what exactly? WIFI? Just another fee grab for nothing of value to me. I’ve been choosing to stay primarily in boutique hotels the past few years and the Hilton is reminding me precisely why. Better properties and better overall experience in small hotels. Read less

I've participated in the staff weekend for Whistler Blackcomb Reservations department and was lucky enough to be assigned a room at The Hilton hotel. Super friendly staff, great amenities and great location. Looking forward to get back at it one day.

We have stayed at this property annually for the past few years. I have always loved the location and amenities. This trip was made extra special thanks to the management team. Cory not only recognized our anniversary, but helped us celebrate in style. The thoughtful gestures from this team brought so much joy. The hotel sits at the base on the gondola. There is a parking garage. Ski/board storage plus rentals onsite. The lower level has an incredible gallery and yoga studio. There is a restaurant and bar on site. The breakfast is outstanding. There is happy hour (and reverse happy hour) daily I believe. Outdoor pool and massive patio with fire pits. Robes are in your room. Just bring flip flops or slippers. There is also a fantastic spa in the hotel which we enjoyed for the first time this trip. Massages and facials and would go again next visit. The rooms are fine. Could they use an update? Sure, but they are not old nor dilapidated. We had a studio king and it had a full kitchen (small, but sufficient). Eat in bar, fold out couch, and a fireplace. We also had French doors to a small balcony. The mountain views are beautiful. The pine trees strung with lights are beautiful at night. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. You will hear other rude guests slamming doors and stomping around in their ski boots early morning. Sadly, this is the norm in any ski town. The price is reasonable for the location and amenities at this hotel. I've stayed at other hotels in Whistler, and think you can't beat the Hilton Whistler. Read less

We stayed here for five nights. It's a large, somewhat dated hotel in the centre of Whistler and a very short stroll to the Village Centre and ski gondolas. Our room - a junior suite effectively - came with a spacious kitchen and seating area, plus an open fireplace (complimentary fire bricks were provided each day). This was a real highlight for us as the fire provided a wonderful ambience in the evenings. Equally, our room included a large bathroom with jacuzzi bath which was a major plus after a full day's skiing. On the negative side, some parts of the room were not particularly clean (e.g. top shelf of the wardrobe). There's a ski shop on-site, but we found this expensive when compared to other outlets in the village. There's also a small outdoor pool, sauna and hot tubs, and a reasonably sized gym. The Cinnamon Bear Bar is a lively spot in the evening with a couple of pool tables and good selection of cocktails. The buffet breakfast was pretty good, with omelette to order plus ready-made Eggs Benedict, Royale, and Florentine available too. Coffee was very good as was the service. All things considered, this hotel exceeded our expectations. Read less
