Getaway: 48 hours in Whistler

A bustling mountainside village means one thing-doing après-ski in style.

As the site of the skiing and sliding events of the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, it’s no surprise that Whistler, 120 kilometres north of Vancouver, is a village full of thrills. But it’s also hard to miss the chilled-out energy that permeates its sophisticated hotels and restaurants, luxurious outdoor spas and quaint mountainside shops.

Day 1
11 a.m. Check into the Adara Hotel, a breath-of-fresh-air alternative to the traditional ski-lodge vibe of most Whistler accommodations. The stylish boutique hotel is urban sophistication–meets–winter chalet, with guest-room furnishings by Inform Interiors founder Niels Bendtsen and luxurious loft-style suites for those looking to splurge. Stop by the lobby bar for complimentary JJ Bean coffee and tea. (4122 Village Green, 604-905-4009, adarahotel.com)
