| (Whistler, British Columbia) --- December 10, 1999 - The Pan Pacific
Lodge Whistler was just named “the number one ski resort in North America”
by the readers of Conde Nast Traveler in the magazine’s fourth annual readers’
ski poll.
The reader’s comments were enthusiastic, “This is where God comes to
go skiing - high and gabled like a castle but as intimate as a boutique
hotel.” “This is a great honor for Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts,” comments
Pan Pacific President Ichigo Umehara. He continues, “Our Whistler
property is only two years old and is Pan Pacific’s first ski lodge in
the company’s portfolio. We are very proud of this distinction and
all the associates at the property who worked so hard to achieve this great
accolade. On behalf of the Pan Pacific team, I would like to extend
a sincere thanks to all our ski enthusiast ‘friends’.”
Opened in December, 1997, The Pan Pacific Lodge Whistler is located
in the most desirable and breathtaking location of Whistler at the base
of world-class Whistler and Blackcomb mountains and in the heart of Whistler
Village.
Each of the lodge’s 121 exquisite suites feature a sweeping view of
the mountains or charming Whistler Village; gas fireplace; fully-equipped
kitchen; balcony; in-room safe; floor to ceiling windows; soaker tub; and
Aveda bath amenities.

The hotel is located in the heart
of Whistler Village, set at the base of Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains.
There is access to 7000 acres of skiing stretching over 8 miles including
North America's steepest mile vertical drop and to 4 top award winning
golf courses. The Lodge is within a few paces of Whistler Village Gondola
and Blackcomb Excalibur Gondola base stations. |
This newly-constructed lodge features an intimately elegant lobby with
a large, fieldstone fireplace in a comfortably upscale resort setting;
the contemporary Dubh Linn Gate restaurant with slope-side dining; fitness
and steam room; and an outdoor heated pool and Jacuzzi facing both Blackcomb
and Whistler mountains. As is customary of all Pan Pacific’s properties,
the Lodge at Whistler offers the most accommodating, world-class service.
Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts currently encompasses 20 hotels (18 managed
properties and 2 marketing affiliates) in 12 countries in Asia, the Pacific
and North America. |
