5. 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.
6. Fairmont Tremblant
Cozying up to the famed Mont-Tremblant (located about 80 miles northwest of Montreal), the Fairmont Tremblant impresses visitors with its alpine scenery, attentive service and outdoor activities. If you’re looking to do some skiing, you’ll find the surrounding towering peaks at your service. In the warmer months, you can hike and mountain bike or go golfing at one of four nearby courses. For a more relaxing time, indulge in a specialty treatment at the on-site Moment Spa. Cap off your day with French fare at Le Comptoir Cuisine Du Marche, which receives a thumbs-up from past patrons for its stellar service and tasty cuisine. When night falls, snuggle up in your luxurious accommodations, furnished with minifridges, Keurig coffee makers, flat-panel TVs and Wi-Fi access (for a fee).
