Nita Lake Lodge

Top choice in Whistler


Adjoining the handsome Creekside railway station, this chic timber-framed lodge offers 'suites' rather than mere rooms, the smallest of which is an ample 45 sq meters. Hugging the lakeside, the swankier suites feature individual patios, rock fireplaces and baths with heated floors and large tubs; some also have handy kitchens.

Creekside's ski lifts are a walkable few minutes away and there's an on-site spa. The hotel also has an excellent West Coast restaurant and a free shuttle to whisk you to the village if you'd prefer to dine further afield. Check the website for weekday bargains.
