7. Nita Lake Lodge
Cozying up to Whistler’s picturesque mountains and Nita Lake’s scenic shores, this property makes a convenient home base for skiers. If you arrive during the cooler months, you can access fresh powder thanks to the property’s complimentary shuttle service to Whistler Village. After tackling the slopes, enjoy an après-ski cocktail at cure lounge & patio before soothing your appetite with a meal at aura restaurant, which guests laud for its sophisticated atmosphere and tasty comfort dishes (If you would rather fill up on gourmet pastries, stop by Fix Café.) Meanwhile, in spring and summer, you can take advantage of complimentary kayak, canoe, bike and paddleboard rentals. But if it’s pampering you seek, head straight to the Spa at Nita Lake Lodge, which offers treatments like hot stone massages and vitamin C brightening facial. At the end of the day, steal away to your spacious suite, furnished with a gas fireplace, a king-sized bed, a glass-enclosed rain shower and a deep soaking tub. You’ll find Nita Lake Lodge situated less than 3 miles southwest of Whistler.
8. Hotel Gault
Located in Old Montreal, Hotel Gault offers visitors a trendy place to hang their hat. The hotel houses rooms, suites, terrace rooms and apartments outfitted with exposed brick walls, expansive French windows and modern wood furnishings. Previous guests describe the contemporary digs as stylish and comfortable and praise in-room amenities, including Italian linens, flat-screen televisions, Nespresso machines and complimentary Wi-Fi access. When hunger sets in, grab a table at the Gault Restaurant, which earns high praise for its French-style breakfast and lunch menus. The only downside to this hotel is that it lacks standard amenities found at its counterparts, including a spa and pool. However, if you do want to unwind, there is a fitness room on-site.
