MARKETPLACE LODGE BY WHISTLER RETREATS, Whistler

The lodge is directly across from a free shuttle stop serving the ski lifts, which arrive every 15-20 minutes during winter. Grocery stores, a pharmacy, and a variety of cafés and restaurants are within a 2-minute walk. The Whistler Golf Club is 1 km away. Free on-site parking is included, though the underground garage has a 6'8" clearance. The location serves as a quiet base close to the village action without being in the restaurant zone.

Each studio features a well-equipped kitchen - cookware, utensils, electric kettle, washer, and dryer - ideal for self-catering. The one-bedroom suite has a separate bathroom accessible without passing through the bedroom. A basic double room offers a compact layout with a mini fridge. Bedding is fixed (cannot be changed from double to singles). Rooms are clean, comfortable, and come with ample linens, towels, and toiletries. The units are not the newest but have been upgraded and are warm and quiet. The gas fireplace adds to the cozy atmosphere.

The property does not operate a restaurant or serve breakfast. Each studio and suite includes a fully equipped kitchen with a stove, refrigerator, cookware, and dishes - making self-catering straightforward. A supermarket is adjacent, and a liquor store, pharmacy, and dozens of restaurants are within a 2-minute walk. For those who prefer dining out, options range from fast food to bistro cuisine.

The hot tub is open year-round, though occasional maintenance or special safety regulations may apply. The property offers free ski storage during winter. A picnic area with tables and a children's playground are on the premises. For outdoor activities, hiking trails, cycling routes, and a golf course are within 3 km. No pool or spa is available.

Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms. Free on-site parking is included - one assigned stall per unit - with accessible and garage parking spots. The underground garage has a 6'8" clearance. A guest launderette is on site. Secure bike storage is located in the parking level; personal locks are required. The building has a lift, key card access, CCTV, fire extinguishers, and smoke alarms. Family rooms are available. Children are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult; only guests aged 25 and older may book (children may accompany them).
