To accommodate those who want to escape the madness of everyday life, Pan Pacific is offering a value-added Spa or Dine Getaway Package. The offer starts at only CAD$199 (or USD$190) per night for accommodations and a CAD$100 credit towards spa treatments at Vital Spirit Spa or dinner for two at one of a selection of destination restaurants. (Note: Guests are essentially paying CAD$99 per room night). So, it’s all a question of choice. Not only do guests have the option to choose where they apply their CAD$100 credit, but they can also choose between one of Pan Pacific’s two award-winning properties, namely the Pan Pacific Whistler Village Centre that anchors the world-class, pedestrian Whistler Village or the Pan Pacific Whistler Mountainside, which is nestled at the base of both Whistler and Blackcomb mountains.

For the very best value, Pan Pacific Whistler offers the Advance Purchase Offer, whereby guests receive 20% off the best available rates for pre-paid reservations booked a minimum 14 days out. These unbelievable rates, start from only CAD$112 (or USD$107) for a Valley View Studio Suite at Pan Pacific Whistler Mountainside. However, other suite options are available for both of Pan Pacific’s two properties, including One- and Two-Bedroom Suites and Penthouse Suites.

For those in a “family way,” or for small groups of friends, Pan Pacific Whistler Mountainside provides complimentary use of the 7th floor, 650-sq. ft. Pacific Suite as a gathering place where the guests can enjoy living-room style accommodations for socializing, so their guest rooms remain private. Available for pre-arranged use to groups who book a minimum 10 room nights, the “gathering place” is available from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and features a large TV and DVD for movie watching, fireplace, vaulted ceilings, beautiful views and comfy couches.

Spanning the distance between Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains, the new world record-breaking Gondola offers a breathtaking, 4.4-kilometre journey, creating limitless new ways to get up-close-and-personal with the mountains. This engineering marvel breaks three world records, namely: longest unsupported span of 3,024 kilometers; highest lift of its kind at 436 meters above the valley floor; and completes the longest continuous lift system on the globe.

The journey between the two mountains provides a 360-degree window into Whistler Blackcomb’s alpine environment, its surrounding peaks, changing seasons and wildlife habitat. But, sightseeing is only part of the adventure. Features also include access to epic hikes to an ancient glacier; a gentle stroll on an alpine walking trail; a tour of black bear habitat; high tea at an alpine hut; wine tasting on a mountain-top patio…the choices abound.
