Situated in Creekside, a short walk from the base of Whistler, Nita Lake Lodge is a boutique hotel featuring 77 spacious suites. All have similarly elegant, modern decor and huge bathrooms with deep soaking tubs and separate showers, along with wet bars with chrome microwaves, coffee- and tea-making facilities, and toasters. The amenities are equally sleek, with plenty of gorgeous event spaces for weddings and meetings, a beautiful spa with a deck and two whirlpool hot tubs, a plunge pool with another hot tub, and a functional, if dated, fitness center. The dining options here aren't shabby, either, with a Northwest-French fusion fine-dining restaurant, Aura, plus a more casual eatery and a cafe. Travelers shopping around may want to also consider First Tracks Lodge, which offers condo-style lodging.

The 158-room Crystal Lodge Hotel is a cozy upper-middle-range property located right in the heart of Whistler Village. The hotel is connected to a number of restaurants, cafes, and shops, and is within a five-minute walk of the Whistler and Blackcomb gondolas. Rooms range from compact standard units for two guests to huge three-bedroom suites with full kitchens and gas fireplaces, but all come with a great array of amenities, including coffeemakers, minibars, and free Wi-Fi. The hotel offers a wide array of great perks for all seasons, including bike and ski storage, a game room, underground parking, and a gym, but the highlight here is the heated outdoor pool, complete with a whirlpool. In this price range, the Summit Lodge Boutique Hotel offers more stylish studios and apartments, all with kitchenettes.

The highlight of this 287-room, four-pearl hotel is its location, right by the Whistler Golf Course in the heart of Whistler Village. The rooms are large and comfortable, with slightly bland but still perfectly pleasant decor: warm colors, light woods, and salmon-colored down duvets. The fitness center is modern, there's a small spa with Javanese-inspired treatments, and the year-round outdoor pool has beautiful views (but it's a bit small for the size of the property).

This well-kept rental complex featuring three-bedroom homes is about a 12-minute walk from the center of Whistler Village. The homes are popular among families, who enjoy the large bedrooms, the modern kitchens, and the quiet, neighborhood feel. But remember that this is a rental, not a resort, so don't expect amenities such as a pool, fitness center, or housekeeping.

This 41-room, mid-range boutique is one of the smallest (and most intimate) hotels in the area, and has a central location in Whistler Village. Cool contemporary furniture meets rustic mountain retreat in these stylish interiors, though some guests find the room decor a bit dated -- plus noise from nearby bars and a nightclub can be an issue. Rooms are well equipped with modern tech, including Playstation 3s and iPod docks, plus all have electric fireplaces and mini kitchenettes with microwaves, mini-fridges, and French presses. An on-site restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plus the hotel offers various freebies like morning breakfast bars, tea/coffee, and freshly baked cookies. Other perks include a hot tub and a seasonal outdoor pool. Travelers might want to compare with the nearby Aava Whistler Hotel, which offers a fitness room and sauna, but lacks on-site dining.

The Four Seasons is one of the most luxurious resorts in Whistler, offering 291 spacious, tastefully decorated rooms, suites, and multi-bedroom residences, all with cozy fireplaces and quality amenities such as Nespresso machines. This five-pearl mountain retreat features a heated outdoor pool and three hot tubs, a top-notch fitness center and spa, and a steakhouse and bar. The location in Upper Village is a bit removed from the lively Whistler Village, but it's a short walk to the Peak 2 Peak Gondola lift up Whistler Blackcomb. The Fairmont Chateau Whistler is the hotel's main competitor and has the added perk of an on-site golf course -- plus lower rates -- but it's not as stylish.

With apartment-style suites in a range of rates and an in-town location, the mid-range Whistler Peak Lodge has broad appeal drawing families, couples, and group travelers. Its 115 rooms have kitchenettes or full kitchens, and some even include washer/dryers and balconies. But features come up a bit short -- there’s a small gym and hot tub but no pool, restaurant, or breakfast service. The property also lacks personality on the whole. As an alternative, Pinnacle Hotel Whistler offers a pool and restaurant, and similar room setups.

This 121-room hotel has a premier location in the heart of Whistler Village, right next to the ski lifts. Rooms are homey and functional, if not luxurious, with light wood accents, space-saving Murphy beds, kitchenettes, and fireplaces. The lobby area is warm but not quite stylish, and is decorated with stone walls, a cozy fireplace, antler chandeliers, and wood furnishings. Although the fitness center is small (only one treadmill), many guests will prefer to get their workout on the slopes, as the gondola is literally just outside the door. After a day out in the cold, the outdoor Jacuzzi is a wonderful treat.

The 81-room Summit Lodge Boutique Hotel is a modern, upper-middle-range property with a casual atmosphere that caters to a young crowd. Vibrant, contemporary rooms feature well-equipped kitchenettes, free Wi-Fi, and living spaces. Some have fireplaces and balconies, but none offer mountain views. The hotel is home to two great restaurants, including Elements Urban Tapas Parlour -- consistently praised as a top spot for breakfast in Whistler -- and a top sushi joint in town. The heated outdoor pool is open year-round, and the spa is a suitable spot for some pampering. The hotel's location near the edge of tourist-centric Whistler Village means ski lifts are a 10-minute walk (or short free shuttle bus ride) away, which can be inconvenient for those carrying their gear. For something closer to ski lifts, consider Pan Pacific Whistler Mountainside.
