Whistler Getaway - Summit Lodge and Spa



When we travel we try to avoid big hotels, so often we stay in bed and breakfasts or boutique hotels. On our last trip to Whistler we stayed at the Summit Lodge and Spa. This small hotel in the heart of Whistler was a great choice. The staff were super friendly, very helpful and extremely courteous. That has to reflect great management. The suite we had was comfortable and viewed a courtyard with a pool and hot pool (Jacuzzi). We took time out to enjoy both.

In hotel dining is available in the
Elements Urban Tapas Parlour. Soft lighting, beautiful suede banquettes and booth seating, open concept show kitchen, copper accents and a soothing cascading water wall provide a relaxing yet upbeat locale. The are well know for their locally inspired tapas, infused martinis, boutique wines. Elements is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and boasts an extensive martini and wine list. We were referred to this restaurant for the great breakfasts and the breakfast was superb.

From the lobby we were drawn to the nearby Spa because of a captivating fragrance. We signed up for spa treatments because they make vacations special. The spa treatments we had at the
Taman Sari Royal Heritage Spa elevated our experience to the luxury level. We considered ourselves spoiled after visiting this wonderful spa. The spa decor was amazing and comforting and the staff did an amazing job.

We have stayed in boutique hotels before and the experience has been great. This is one of the best we have stayed in and it is so close to the action in Whistler. We urge you to give it a try on your next visit to Whistler.
