A hip, sexy hotel that primarily caters to couples, the Adara Hotel is Whistler's first-ever boutique property that strays from the "mountain lodge" stereotype. It has a contemporary interior done up in hot colors and cool retro styling. The Adara Hotel also has the distinction of being Whistler's first resort that belongs to the prestigious Small Luxury Hotels of the World group.
Accommodations at the intimate Adara Hotel consist of 41 guestrooms and suites including multi-level loft suites. Many rooms have a balcony. Upscale amenities include iPod docking stations, bedside sound machines (due to the location next to the Village Stroll, it can get noisy), Bodum French press coffee makers, luxury linens, and Fresh bath products. There is no bath, but couples are likely to find the walk-in rainfall shower a sensual treat. Services ranging from dry cleaning to high-speed Internet connections are available for a fee. The in-room safe is large enough to fit a laptop.
The Adara Hotel has a bar and gift shop, but no restaurant. However, Guest Services is available to secure reservations at nearby eateries and meals can be delivered to hotel rooms. Accommodations are equipped with a stocked minibar, coffee makers, and small refrigerators.
The small outdoor heated pool is open only in summer. Year-round, even when the temperature plummets, the rooftop hot tub with panoramic Whistler Mountain views lures guests to dip.
Whistler Mountain lays claim to the largest terrain and the longest vertical run in North America for skiing and snowboarding. This is also where couples come in winter to go cross-country skiing, try snowshoeing, and even go zip-lining. Those who prefer indoor pleasures can indulge in treatments at Whistler's 20-plus spas.
Come summer in Whistler, there's golf, river rafting, bungee jumping, and ATVs available for rental. The hotel itself is close to restaurants and shops.
Even a hotel steps away from a variety of restaurants ought to make breakfast on the property available to guests. Tazo tea in the lobby and complimentary in-room coffee will whet a whistle in this Whistler lodging, though.
Childfree couples who appreciate mid-century modern decor will find themselves most comfortable at the Adara Hotel. There are no facilities for children at the Adara, but pets are welcome.
