Portobello - Located in the lower lobby of The Fairmont Chateau Whistler, is a casual, family restaurant with warm country atmosphere and historical West Coast decor.

The Mallard Lounge and Terrace - This library-style lounge is often referred to as the "Gem of The Fairmont Chateau Whistler."

Amenity highlights: Sure to spoil both the young and young-at-heart, the Chateau’s full health club offers a heated pool where guests can swim both in and outside. Four hot tubs and a heated outdoor lap pool with piped-in underwater music are the icing on the cake. Dubbed the “gem of the Chateau,” the Mallard Lounge offers fireside après-ski or "19th-hole" golf relaxation with the ambience of an English gentleman’s club. It's just off the cavernous lobby of vaulted ceilings and conversation corners clustered around the river rock fireplace.

Insider tip: Thanks to the Horstman Glacier, Blackcomb is usually ski-able through mid-August.

The recreational activities listed below are available either onsite or near the hotel.
