Whistler Hotels,,Canada

With over 40,000 beds to choose from in the Whistler Valley, finding Whistler lodging should not be a difficult task. To narrow down the search for the perfect accommodation in Whistler Canada, it is best to decide what area you would like to stay in, how much you’d like to spend, and what type of accommodation you prefer. 


If you like to be in the middle of the action, where you can step out your door and be only steps away from ski lifts and shopping, staying in Whistler Village is the best option for you. With its cobblestone streets and chateau-like buildings, Whistler Village at the Whistler Canada ski resort is a fun and lively place to stay. You won’t need a car if you plan to stay in the Village, as all of the Whistler hotels are within walking distance to restaurants, cafes, and of course, ski lifts. Whistler lodging in the Village ranges from hostels to top quality hotels. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of options between the mid-range Whistler hotels and top-notch, four star hotels. It’s either average or very pricey, with not much in-between. Fortunately, even the mid-range Whistler hotels are high quality and have that special Whistler charm. In both mid-range and high-end you’re likely to find a cozy fireplace in your room and a lovely balcony -- the difference that you pay for are all of the other amenities like swimming pools and hot tubs with views. 


If you prefer a bit more quiet and solitude, and would rather not stay in the midst of the shopping and partying, staying outside of the Whistler Canada ski resort village may be the right choice for you. There is much more to Whistler lodging than just hotels. Many studios, condos, apartments and homes are available for rent within and outside of the Village. It’s only a short drive away to Whistler Canada ski resort from any of the accommodations outside of the Village and you’ll be able to get more of that sweet mountain relaxation. Allura Direct is a booking service that will help you find the unique rental property that you are looking for. The website shows photos and gives good information about each property in the Whistler area. 


If you are looking for accommodation in Whistler Canada during the summer months, there are plenty of good camping options. On the Sea-to-Sky highway, south of Whistler is the popular Alice Lake Provincial Park. North of Whistler, Nairn Falls is a well-maintained campground equipped with fire pits, firewood and pit toilets. This campground is close to many hikes, as well as Green River and the town of Pemberton. Birkenhead Lake Provincial Park off Portage Road is also very popular and camping spots fill quickly during the summer. There is a tent area as well as RV sites, offering boat launches and great fishing.

Hydropolis - Undersea Hotel Off the Coast of Dubai

Hydropolis, the world’s first luxury undersea hotel, is set to open in 2009. Located off the coast of Dubai, in 66 feet under the Persian Gulf (known locally as the Arabian Gulf), the resort will encompass 260 hectares (1.1 million square feet), and contain 220 hotel suites. The complex will also contain a ballroom, a shopping mall, and a missile-defense system against terrorists.

The $520 million project is being developed and designed by Joachim Hauser, who says he was inspired by Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. The resort is being built on the last free piece of beach property on this particular coast, of His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktourm, Crown Prince of Dubai.

The form of the hotel will be a figure eight, lying on its side, encompassed in a circle. The forms in the figure will contain restaurants, meeting areas, bars, and themed suites. Passengers will enter Hydropolis through a noiseless train moved along by a cable.

Hydropolis will not be a dive resort. It’s being developed specifically to cater to those who do not even swim, as a way for them to enjoy the undersea world. Hauser says, “We are expecting around 3,000 visitors per day in addition to the hotel guests. The aim is to inspire people to develop a new awareness of the sea.” A chain of underwater hotels is now being planned. Nine countries including Oman, Monaco, and China (for the Yellow Sea) have shown interest.

The Grounds,America

Bob Harris, a noted travel writer and author, originally reviewed the San Ysidro Ranch for the Forbes Traveler 400. He describes the grounds as “breathtaking” with "eye-popping gardens" and winding trails that are " stunning to walk around." Fortunately, the Ranch narrowly escaped damage in the fires that swept through the area in 2008.

San Ysidro Ranch.USA

Tucked away on 500 acres in the Santa Ynez Mountains, just south of bustling Santa Barbara, San Ysidro Ranch was originally a Franciscan mission founded in 1768. It was converted to a citrus farm in the early 19th century, and then into a luxury hotel in the 1930s when actor Ronald Colman and former Senator Alvin Weingand attracted Hollywood A-listers with a pitch-perfect blend of luxury and isolation—and stunning views of the ocean.

The following Monaco luxury hotels are available through our Virtuoso Travel Specialists:

The Connaught - London, England

With its wood paneling, majestic mahogany staircase and leather fenders, The Connaught has the quintessentially English atmosphere and style of a gentleman’s club. However, having managed to keep the outside world at arm’s length, the hotel has had to make certain concessions to a more egalitarian age. Women in trouser suits for instance, or mini bars in the bedrooms, were once considered improper. Even so, many regulars no doubt will continue to prefer to get things done the old-fashioned way, summoning their floor butlers to mix them a gin and tonic or unpack their bags; it is this kind of service, after all, for which the Connaught is justly famed.

Lima: Miraflores Park Hotel (5 Star Hotel)

Assuredly the finest of Lima's luxury hotels, the Miraflores Park Hotel has glorious ocean views and all the frills expected of a five-star establishment. Gracefully situated on a tree-lined avenue along the Pacific Coast, it's a favorite with wedding parties and executives.


Although all the rooms here are classed as suites and do have king-size beds, only the most luxurious have separate bedrooms. The best suites have glass walls with stunning ocean views, while the junior suites have in-room saunas and whirlpool tubs. State-of-the-art amenities include a business center, gym and an outdoor rooftop pool overlooking the ocean. What really puts it over the top, though, is the 'Bath Butler' service, which starts with an in-room massage, then a bath surrounded by scented candles and personally selected oils and soaps, followed by warm towels and a cup of hot chocolate by your bedside, or a snifter of cognac and a cigar. It's pure indulgence. The breakfast buffet in the panoramic 11th-floor Observatory Lounge will start any day off right.

Claridge's - London, England

Never resting on its laurels, Claridge’s stays ahead of the game by constantly reinventing itself—first spotting the trend for celebrity chefs, for instance, and securing Gordon Ramsay, and with him, a Michelin star. At the same time, it’s a temple to 1930s art deco chic, with the marble checkerboard hall, the exuberant sweeping staircase, Lalique glass panels, ornate ironwork and banisters, mirror paneling and signature emerald-striped china. At Claridge’s, for all its newfound popularity with a young and fashionable crowd, the grandeur remains undimmed—at once a bastion of British traditionalism as well as a bold trendsetter, exuding a sense of charisma and timeless style.

Chewton Glen - Hampshire, England

A standard-setter since it opened in 1966, this country-house hotel is set in the New Forest, the red brick manse and its sun-streaked public rooms stuffed with deep downy chintz furnishings and English antiques, along with just enough contemporary touches to please the non-traditionalist. This exquisite property is more of a retreat than a full-service resort. Its spa, nine-hole par-3 golf course, rolling expanse of lawn and English country pursuits make it popular with weekending Londoners and wealthy Europeans on holiday, but extremely active Americans might grow restless.

Château Les Crayères - Reims, France

The chefs at this sublime Michelin two-star restaurant know a thing or two about running a hotel as well, and giving your entire night to this intimate property is ineffably rewarding. Walk through the colonnaded front porch and you instantly feel like a distinguished member of the Pommery champagne dynasty, which built the château in a 17-acre park in the early 1900s

Mexico’s Riviera

Banyan Tree, a luxury hotel brand with a large presence in Asia, is opening its first hotel and vacation home project in North America this winter. The Banyan Tree Mayakoba, ten minutes north of Playa del Carmen on Mexico’s Caribbean-facing Yucatan Peninsula, will have 50 villas available for ownership.

Villas range from one- to three-bedrooms and sit near the beach club or on the 17th hole of the Greg Norman-designed golf course. Prices start at $1.2 million and top out at $4.8 million. All homes have large outdoor living areas with bathtubs and showers, expansive decks and private swimming pools. Owners get perks at all Banyan Tree and Angsana (Banyan Tree’s sister resort brand) hotel properties including up to 50 percent off room rates and discounted spa treatments.

The Riviera Maya began to emerge as a haven for luxury developments in 2005, with the opening of the Fairmont Mayakoba. Since then, the area has dodged a direct hit from Hurricane Wilma, a 2005 storm that did heavy damage to hotels in Cancun, and building has continued. Developers have focused on whole ownership residences rather than fractional offerings. Surprisingly, most destination clubs have not purchased homes on the Yucatan Peninsula (Abercrombie & Kent and High Country Club are two exceptions), but these new developments could be ripe to land in the portfolio of a growing club.

Last December, the Rosewood Mayakobá, a luxury hotel where rooms are set on lagoons and guests are transported via private gondola, opened its doors. The resort has plans for 32 three-bedroom, lagoon-front villas that will have some 4,500 square feet of outdoor living space. Prices start at $3.5 million and the first residences will be complete in mid-2009. The Viceroy Mayakoba is also in the works. The resort will have 165 condos and villas starting at just under $1 million. Capella Hotels and Resorts, a newer entrant to the luxury hotel and residence industry, has a project in the Riviera Maya planned for a 2009 opening. Capella’s Bahia Maroma will eventually have 130 residences. Prices start at $2.9 million.
