Tess Nichol checks into grand digs at one of Canada's most famous ski resorts.
Check-in experience: The lobby of the Four Seasons in Whistler is incredibly grand, immediately making you, too, feel grand and not like the rat-girl imposter you actually are. Boasting some incredibly tasteful art by local artists, the hotel nails the whole "old money skiing" vibe.
Rooms: The Executive Suite faces
the mountains and has its own private balcony, plus a separate living room and bedroom. The living room has a fireplace and there's an enormous closet.
The bed: Is glorious, soft, big and the turn-down service includes someone leaving an ornate ceramic jug full of water next to it.
Bathrooms: There were two. Two! The main bathroom was about as big as my room at home and offered two sinks, meaning I had three options of where to wash my hands during my two night stay. Two bathrooms also meant double the amount of tiny L'Occitaine toiletries.
