Guests Review about the Edgewater Lodge at Whistler
Oct 30, 2010
we chose to not stay with the major hotel chains in the hope that the service
would be more personal and in some way a little more charming. Edgewater
fulfilled our wishes. the room was of high quality, the service was second to
none, and the location was stunning. friendly and helpful staff made our stay
interesting and relaxing. the quietness at night, away from the downtown
activities (10 minutes by car), gave us the best 4 nights sleep we had while in
Canada. if we have the opportunity to travel this way again, we will certainly
stay again at the Edgewater lodge.

We booked the Edgewater Lodge for my sister's wedding that took place at the end
of August. We had 75 guests from all over attend this historic event and were
looking forward to a great gathering.
As a manager in this business, I unconsciously tend to notice anything going
awry behind the scenes that usually goes unnoticed to untrained eyes. Happily,
however, this was not the case at the Edgewater Lodge.
We set the ceremony out on the picturesque back-lawn overlooking Green Lake. The
weather that day gave us concern, but our cool, keenly-organized representative
from the lodge, Kylie, bade us calm and reminded us, “In Whistler, if you don’t
like the weather, wait 5 minutes.” To our gratification, she was right. The
skies opened up and we had a lovely ceremony.
Afterward, we held a reception in the same area where the passed food and
champagne were plentiful. At times in my career, the service staff may neglect
some guests and better service others, but here this was not the case. My
champagne glass was always full and the selected hors d’oeuvres were creative
and delectable.
We proceeded into the restaurant area for dinner where, again with the help of
Kylie, was visually appealing and pristinely set. We had a 3-course plated
dinner with a choice of appetizer and main course, which for 75 people is no
small feat. However, the dinner was delicious and the service staff were
attentive, swift but not unrushed, and friendly, (again, my wine glass was never
empty). The service staff further complimented the event by being on top of
assisting us with audio visual and lighting for a homemade slide show
presentation.

The hotel and housekeeping staff were equally attentive and proactive in
maintaining our rooms and ensuring we had everything we needed for a successful
event.
I wrote Kylie afterward and told her the overall service provided by her and her
staff I would expect from a 5-diamond hotel in downtown Vancouver. The event
would not have gone off as successfully if it were not for their assistance.
If you are considering going to the Edgewater Lodge, stop considering and just
go.

My wife and I enjoyed the beautiful, peaceful setting. The quiet environment
allowed us to really relax and take in this great location. The continental
breakfast was also very good,

We stayed at the Edgewater for a family wedding. The actual wedding was
beautiful, but the rooms and the service leave a lot to be desired.
It is VERY expensive and for that one might expect NOT to have bed covers that
are faded and worn, towels that can be seen through and scratch the skin--no
full length mirrors (this was important being as we were getting ready for a
wedding) very poor lighting and no air conditioning.
There is no food service at lunch time what-so-ever--traveling with young
children, that was really difficult. There is no DVD player (even though we had
brought our own DVD's with us.
The rooms were not particularly clean and the same woman that scrubs the toilets
works in the food service area-in the same clothing. That was NOT appealing, she
could at least have two outfits.

I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the Edgewater as a fantastic,
picturesque location to be enjoyed by all.
We travelled to Whistler from New Zealand for our wedding and had only seen
photos on the internet so were naturally a little nervous about the "actual”
look and feel of the place. When we walked through the doors and onto the deck
we were both amazed with the stunning setting and knew we had made the right
decision.
The food, staff, and location were all 5 star and we had complements from all
our guests about how amazing everything was.
Thanks so much for making our wedding day so amazing.

We had our daughter's wedding here. I found the best deal through
www.allure-hotels.com. The rooms all look out over a beautiful
lake, so very quiet at night. There is no air conditioning and it was hot when
we were there, but the rooms cool off nicely in the evening. The food was
fabulous and the service excellent. The setting is absolutely breathtaking and a
nice break from the busy village.

SO many thank you for making our wedding weekend/week so enjoyable and so
memorable. I know that many of our guests have plans for return trips to
Vancouver and Whistler and have already stated that they will be staying at
Edgewater Lodge. Do not know where to begin, however the service, the food, the
rehearsal BBQ, your major flexibility, the lunch trays for the wedding day of to
snack on ( I loved it), the help, the breakfast, all of it was absolutely
amazing. All of you accommodated Greg and myself and our family and friends to
the fullest. With late night meal requests to babies and kids running around to
saving breakfast trays for our late risers...amazing!

My husband and were married at the Edgewater Lodge over the long weekend. 10
minutes before the ceremony started the weather changed from sunny to a nasty
storm. The staff at the lodge were wonderful helping everybody move into the
tent and rearrange the whole set up. The were wonderful and helpful the entire
weekend. All of our guests were impressed with the staff and food, not to
mention the beautiful location. Thanks to the Edgewater Lodge we had the best
wedding anyone could ask for. Everybody had a great time
