Grounded in our core values of teamwork, service excellence, and integrity, we foster a culture where thoughtful service and genuine connection create unforgettable experiences every day.

Each of our spacious rooms and suites features a cozy fireplace, and nearly all include private balconies with breathtaking views – blending refined comfort with the natural beauty of British Columbia. Our culinary destinations offer equally distinctive experiences. Braidwood Tavern captures the spirit of après with playful craft cocktails and intimate seafood-inspired dinners in a warm, welcoming setting. SIDECUT Steakhouse, Whistler's most premium dining destination, is celebrated for its rare cuts like olive-fed wagyu, decadent seafood towers, and elevated tasting experiences that showcase the best of land and sea.
