Just returned from a fabulous trip at the Pan Pacific Mountainside. All of the reviews about the proximity to lifts are completely true! The rooms are wonderful with fireplace on at the flick of a switch - super, super comfortable bed that conveniently pops into the wall for more room during the day...fluffy pillows and lots of them, deep tub for soaking and a spotless, clean kitchen with all the amenities. One thing I'd like to add is the absolutely adorable staff - they are the friendliest group and anxious to please...they will drive you around the village (although walking is extremely easy), ask for turndown service which is free and the chocolates are great! It was my husband's 50th birthday and they were so gracious...even ran into some of them on the dance floor and they popped over to ask how his evening was - over and above the normal hotel staff treatment!

We looked out over the mountain and pool area - so beautiful! My only complaint is the overcrowded hot tubs right after skiing but what can one expect? We found that the morning was a great time for a soak as no one was in them at that time...

If you get a chance to visit the Pan Pacific - please go!

I was here for a conference in October 2007, so I wasn't here for the ski season. That said, this hotel is in a great location, walkable to lots of restaurants and things to do.

We had a one bedroom suite that included a pull-out couch in front of the fireplace in the living room. Since there was two of us, it worked out great since the bedroom door provided lots of privacy and had a view of the balcony overlooking the village. The bed was absolutely huge and very comfy with a TV on the opposite wall.

There was a small kitchen, if you needed to cook anything, as well as a dining table for four. The suite reminded me more of a small condo, with a very homey feel. I wouldn't call it spacious, but it was enough room for us. Too bad the US dollar is dropping so fast in value!

Stayed at the Mountainside during the last week of February and were very pleased with the hotel. As others have already commented, its main attraction is the location as both the Whistler & Blackcomb gondolas are literally 20 metres from the hotel door and you can ski right back down to the same place....after this you will never consider getting on a ski bus again ! There were 3 of us staying in a studio room and whilst not the biggest I have ever stayed in the kitchen area was very well equipped and the sofa bed ok - the two beds in the bedroom were very comfortable...so I was told ! The only dining facilities available in the hotel are in the Dubh Linn which serves cooked breakfasts and does a good lunchtime meal. They also show all Premiership footy matches. We also ate in Monks, Rics & Earls which were very good (Earls was very reasonably priced and showed the ice hockey so had a good atmosphere). On our last night we visited Quattro, an Italian restaurant and again excellent food. The hotel also has an outdoor heated swimming pool and several hot tubs where you have a great view of the ice & fire show. A good hotel which we would visit again.

Just returned from "snow" drenched Whistler. We chose the Pan Pacific Mountainside mainly for its location and we were not disappointed. The Blackcomb and Whistler Gondolas are just outside the door. We were very happy with our condo, very clean and the facilities in the kitchen were excellent, although we did not get to use them much. The bathroom looked a little tied compared to the rest of the accommodation, but was pleasant and clean with plenty of hot water. We were lucky to have an upgrade from a studio to a one bedroom apartment!

Not only is this hotel well situated for the lifts it also well situated for the shopping and restaurants in town. Ric's Mix serve a mean Mojito.

We will definitely return to the Pan Pacific Mountainside.
