- $52 million Renovation Reveals Hilton Whistler Resort & Spa -
The Hilton Whistler Resort & Spa is celebrating completion of extensive renovations, revealing a spectacular new design, contemporary dining, Spa and state-of-the-art conference and events facilities.
Revitalizing Whistler Village’s original hotel, The Delta Mountain Inn, into a contemporary, elegant space has been a 30-month and CAD$52 million venture. The 289-room all season hotel has undergone a dramatic top-to-bottom reconstruction and is the first fully integrated ski resort investment made by Hilton Hotels Corporation.
“Two years of hard work and devotion have resulted in a hotel we’re proud to call the Hilton Whistler Resort & Spa”, said Pradeep Puri, General Manager.
“The hotel, with new look lobby and front entrance, Artesian Spa and tastefully refurbished rooms, looks spectacular and we are dedicated to providing unrivalled experiences for our guests as well as new opportunities for our associates and the surrounding community."
Situated in the very heart of Whistler Village at the base of Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains, Hilton Whistler Resort & Spa is just moments to world-class snow sports, designer golf courses, plus mountain biking and hiking trails.
SUITE DREAMS
All of the hotel's spacious 289 guest rooms have been stylishly redesigned, creating private enclaves of comfort. Each room includes the newly introduced Hilton Serenity® bedding, with a 12 ½ -inch mattress complemented by 250-thread-count fine European-style linens.
Luxurious bathrooms with amenities created exclusively for Hilton by Crabtree & Evelyn, deep soaker tubs, and custom-designed alarm clocks with connection cables for MP3 players are standard throughout all guest suites. Added luxuries available in a number of suites, range from woodburning fireplaces, full service kitchenettes with granite countertops, balconies, private in-room saunas and internal laundry facilities.
