- Five-Year, Multimillion-Dollar Hotel Renovation Complete -

Whistler B.C. February 28, 2017 – Fairmont Chateau Whistler revealed 11 brand new 600 square foot suites. Intimate and perfect for couples with a luxurious bedroom, cozy fireplace, and modern bathroom with spa shower, the aptly named Alpine Suites are situated on the highest floors of the hotel and offer breathtaking views of Whistler Blackcomb and the Coast Mountain Range.

“Heeding the needs of our most discerning guests, we created a new suite experience which seamlessly blends the highest quality product with the warm and inviting service for which Fairmont is renowned, framed by picturesque mountain views,” stated Managing Director Norman Mastalir.

The Alpine Suites boast a bedroom with a bespoke king bed placed before a bold feature wall plus a separate living area with sectional sofa and unique built-in fireplace.  The inviting ambiance is born from a marriage of subtle modern finishes and rustic textures of antiqued bronze, rust iron, and distressed woods.  The furniture's clean lines layered with intriguing textiles and abstract artworks of local attractions enhance the sense of place. The suites, designed by Hirsch Bedner Associates, took two and a half months to complete with the 11 suites having been created from 22 of the hotel's Moderate Rooms. Fairmont Chateau Whistler now has a room count of 539 rooms and suites, including 55 Fairmont Gold rooms.

This project concludes an extensive five-year, $23-million renovation which comprised of 150 bathrooms receiving complete facelifts including new plumbing and rain head showers; room enhancements including new décor, soft furnishings and electronics; corridor décor updates including new Canadiana artwork; a complete renovation of the pool complex; and all 32,000 square feet of meeting space receiving new carpets, wall-coverings, chandeliers, furniture, and foyer décor.

Rates for the Alpine Suites start from CDN $459.00 (approx. USD $349.00) per night and can be booked online by calling 1-800 606-8244 or clicking www.fairmont.com/whistler.
