Review from Brenda R.
My husband and I went here last August. Stayed here for about 3 nights and we just really loved staying here. Come on, it's the backdrop of Crankworks and the Winter Olympics! It can't get any better than that. The room was clean and the kitchen was big enough for the two of us. We definitely used that kitchen! The hotel has a gym which I frequented and a decent size pool with spa. Internet is free!
It's all about the location! The Whistler mountain bike park and the gondolas are right outside its doors. There's a park nearby and there's shops and restaurants all over the village that you could simply walk to from the hotel and back.
The hotel also provided a bike storage, which my husband didn't trust so much because the hotel claims that they are not liable for. Use at your own risk or simply try to sneak your bikes in your room, which we did! Parking was about 25 bucks a day.
The only downside was that the pillows were fluffy but they were too soft. My head would just really sink in but that's the reason why I bring my own pillows especially on road trips. Overall, I'd definitely stay here again espeically if I could get deals on the internet. -
Review from Dan D.
I came here for lunch on a busy day. It's comfortable, the waitress was very friendly, and its WARM. The food was pretty good, and filling.

Review from Thera M.
My boyfriend just stayed here for the weekend in their studio suite. The room was really comfortable and clean. It had a full kitchen and a comfy Murphy bed. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. I loved the eucalyptus steam room and the pool hours (6am-11pm). The hotel's location and sports equipment valet made biking around the village and mountainside really convenient. Paying an additional $25 a day for parking was the only bummer.

Review from Matt K.
Stayed in a suite overlooking the mountain bike park and pool area. It wasn't super quiet, trying to go to sleep, but waking up and enjoying coffee next to the hearth while watching the sun come up over the village made up for it. I'd be curious to know if anyone ever uses the kitchens for anything other than making coffee or mixing drinks. Then again, the food I experienced in Whistler was mostly unremarkable so one might do better cooking in, enjoying the view.

Review from Georgia S.
This place is DIALED. There is nothing lacking at the Pan Pacific Mountainside.
- Board/Ski valet service allows you to ski in/ski out and not even have to cart your stuff to the car. LOVE.IT.
- Nightly manager specials at the bar with sliders and complimentary wine.
- Fuel your day at the slopes with complimentary Continental Breakfast bar, complete with fresh fruit, waffles ( Canadian Maple Syrup of course) pastries, cheeses + more.
- Euro style rooms, comfortable with full kitchen and cool mountain views.
- Gym. As if. But hey- it's there!
-Outdoor star gazing in the heated pool and large hot tub. Plus a chance to ease those muscles after rippin' up the slopes all day.
- Extremely professional and friendly staff.
- Small but luxurious spa was totally a treat- but really HARD ON THE WALLET. Massage alone: $150 with tax.
All in all, Money well spent.Listed in: Mini Vay Cay

Review from Allie A.
I'm fortunate enough to stay at some pretty amazing four and five-star hotels around the world for work, and this is one of my favorite hotels.
I just loooooooved my one-bedroom suite. It was like having a luxury little apartment.
Having a full kitchen was amazing (though I never really got a chance to use it because I was in meetings all day and at events in the evening). The balcony with views of the mountains - spectacular (and I live in Tahoe!). The living room with its gas fireplace - so warm and welcoming, and a lovely couch to crash on at the end of the night to put up your feet and sigh with contentment.
But let's talk about the bedroom. Because I had the suite, it was its own separate room with a king-sized bed, a mountain of soft pillows, and a thick, oh so warm feather comforter that I fell in love with.
Being in the thick of the village meant there were tons of shops and restaurants within spitting distance, not to mention that Blackcomb is right out the back door for the gondola.
If I'm ever back in Whistler, this is where I'm staying. -
Review from Thomas B.
After a few days there, we better understood the hotel's flaws. the bed was hard and we felt it after a while. We also had an run in with a pest (ok these are the great outdoors but .......)

Review from Carol H.
Just Ok.
Pros:
- Great location closest to Blackomb Gondola
- Friendly staff
- Rooms have kitchenette (provided you want that)
- The Dublin Restaurant/Bar is inside
Cons:
- You might get a stow away bed - bad mattress, not comfortable
- pricey for the decor
I booked through intrawest/http://whistler.com and was going to stay at the Westin when the agen recommended the Pan Pacific Mountainside....she didn't tell me that the bed would not be a real bed. I had to upgrade to a better room and for the price, the Westin would have been better. I didn't want/need/use the kitchenette, but it might be great for a family or if you aren't planning to eat out. -
Review from kath r.
We were fortunate enough to score a last minute room here at the Pan Pacific for Cornucopia this past weekend.
Centrally located in the village - literally stumbling distance to Longhorn Saloon, Ric's Grill and Araxi Restaurant, and at the base of the Blackcomb gondola - the Pan Pacific was the perfect place to rest our heads after long days and nights of wine tasting.
The hotel had all the amenities one needs for a ski-stay weekend - coffee machine, kitchenette, big robes, hot tub and heated outdoor pool (with view of the village and gondola) and valet service around town.
The staff are incredibly friendly. Not the same polish as their counterparts at the Pan Pacific Vancouver downtown (or other luxury Pan Pacific hotels I've stayed at), but then, it's a ski town so a more approachable level of service is appreciated for a relaxed weekend out of the big smoke. Room comparisons are similar; the suites at other Pan Pacific hotels tend to be more luxurious, this location seemed a little tired.
All in all though, a deal. -
Review from Suzyn P.
Great room, free WiFi, good housekeeping, slopeside access to the resort, which is great during ski season and just as good during the summer season, which is when we were there. We got a nice deal for the place, so it was a good price. A very clean, very convenient, very easy place to stay in a wonderful resort.

Review from A R.
We stayed at the pan pacific in March 2010 instead of the fairmont because of it's proximity to the lifts. Luckily, it turned out to be a great hotel too. The rooms are European style and a run a bit on the cozier side but are neat and up to date. Our room had a fireplace, sitting area, dinning area with a balcony, and a modern kitchenette with all the tableware and silverware needed. The staff are efficient and friendly. The ski valet is conveniently located on the lobby level as you exit towards and ski shop, which has rentals should you require them. My wife was a tad bit anxious with the European style folding bed, but it was just space conserving measure and didn't sacrifice on the comfort of the bed. This place was great for us because it was literally at the foot of both the blackcomb and whistler mountain lifts. After a full day of skiing there's nothing like sitting in the open jacuzzi on the third floor with a view of both the mountains. The hotel swim and gym area is stocked with plenty of comfy towels and clean showers if you choose to freshen up before you leave the pool/gym area. Not only was it located right at the base of the mountains but it was right in the whistler village too so it was close to EVERYTHING!!! We definitely enjoyed our stay and recommend it to skiers.
