Fodor's Expert Review The Westin Resort and Spa, Whistler

This renovated luxury hotel has not only a prime location at the entrance of the village but also a long list of upscale amenities that will make you want to stay here. The lobby is dramatic, and rooms are chic and cozy, with gas fireplaces, extra-deep tubs, and exceptionally comfy beds. There are also a handful of 1,400-square-foot, split-level suites that are great for families: each has a full kitchen and a loft bedroom with a whirlpool tub. The hotel's large and top-rated restaurant, Grill & Vine, has an open kitchen and fantastic oversized windows. The spa has a mountain-view lounge, and offers facials, body wraps, and holistic therapies. The FireRock Lounge has live entertainment weekly, and is a mellow alternative to rowdy après-ski venues.
