Crystal Lodge

Whistler, Canada

Virgin rating

The hotel

Set in an unbeatable spot in the heart of Whistler, the Crystal Lodge is a home away from home, but with the added backdrop of those epic mountains. Have a dip in the year-round heated pool, and after a day on the slopes the hot tub will be a relaxing treat. You can enjoy tasty food in one of the restaurants, and grab a hot drink from Starbucks® before stepping out into the bustling village.

You must pass through a restaurant and a pub to access the pool and jacuzzi, which was inconvenient. Our room was noisy due to the heater, and we couldn’t sleep well. The next morning, when we mentioned the issue, staff showed no empathy and said we should’ve called during the night to resolve it. However, this wasn’t possible as the kids were… Read more

Our experience at Crystal Lodge was far from restful. My family and I couldn’t sleep due to the terrible noise from the AC, which sounded like a jet engine all night.

This setup is far from family-friendly and made us feel extremely uncomfortable. I do not recommend staying here unless these issues are addressed. Read less

Overall, great location and the staff are very good. The hottub needs to be updated - the jets are really weak. The Sauna is located on the second floor and should be relocated close to the pool and hot tub. Our room was small and the pillows are too big and bulky. With that said, I would not hesitate recommending the Crystal Lodge.

We had a 4 night stay here and we cannot say enough good things about this place! The bed was very comfortable. The rooms are modern but cozy, very spacious, LOTS of storage to keep your belongings. I find it’s very common for hotels to have limited storage space to keep your things and I really appreciated that we were able to put away 3 suitcase… Read more
We had a 4 night stay here and we cannot say enough good things about this place! The bed was very comfortable. The rooms are modern but cozy, very spacious, LOTS of storage to keep your belongings. I find it’s very common for hotels to have limited storage space to keep your things and I really appreciated that we were able to put away 3 suitcase full of items in their closet and storage space.Several areas to hand your coats too (I alone had 3) Bathroom also has tons of storage space. We had a big window to look at the mountain side and watch the snow come down. The staff were SO friendly and accommodating. Great location too! So close to many good restaurants and pubs. Prices were very reasonable. We’d definitely return when we come back to Whistler. For reference we stayed in the Deluxe studio King room. Read less
