Whistler’s Winter Wonderland at Nita Lake Lodge

Blanketed in snow and illuminated with beautiful Christmas lights, Whistler’s luxury boutique Nita Lake Lodge becomes a winter wonderland during the holiday season.

Festive holiday décor festoons the lakeside hotel and a twinkling Christmas tree brings a touch of magic to the lobby. Guests staying over Christmas Eve will wake up to a little surprise from the Nita Lake Lodge team and can get into the holiday spirit with a special Christmas meal at the lodge’s lakeside Aura Restaurant on December 24th and 25th.

This festive feast ($85pp) begins with Christmas canapés, followed by BC butternut squash soup or winter salad with brandied craisins and crispy goat cheese. Choose from local free-run turkey with all the trimmings, a veggie option of roasted acorn squash and quinoa, Arctic char with sunchokes or Cache Creek BC beef sirloin with mushroom ragout for your main. If there’s room for dessert, pick a treat from the pastry chef’s special selection and then finish off your meal with Christmas cookies. As a special holiday gift guests staying at the lodge between December 21st and January 1st can enjoy a complimentary breakfast at Aura to fill up before a winter hike or day of skiing on nearby Whistler-Blackcomb Mountain.

Skiers coming to Whistler to enjoy the pristine powder can visit Cure Lounge & Patio’s après-ski station between December 22nd and January 2nd to warm up and refuel with light appies, hot chocolate and apple cider. Kids – big and small – can indulge at the S’mores station, which can be found on the heated patio all winter.

New Year’s Eve is another magical time at Nita Lake Lodge – come and celebrate the end of 2013 with a festive feast at Aura Restaurant or enjoy free live music and a complimentary midnight champagne toast at Cure Lounge & Patio.

Once all the Christmas gifts are bought for other people treat yourself to a warming hot stone massage, a nurturing Kundalini massage or a blissful body scrub at the Spa at Nita Lake Lodge. In the spirit of the holiday season, the Spa is giving away a $15 gift when you spend $150 or a gift worth $60 when you spend $30.

Nita Lake Lodge also offers the greatest gift of all – the ultimate destination for rest and relaxation, surrounded by snowy mountain peaks and fresh Alpine air, with your loved ones this holiday season. To book please call 1-888-755-6482 or visit www.nitalakelodge.com.
