Venue Features
The scene:
The location is both prominent and sensitive – perched on the shore of Nita Lake, situated on the axis of Lake Placid Road and highly visible from the Valley Trail which parallels the lake-shore to the west. The two main components of the building, the train station and the lodge itself, are separately expressed and sit comfortably among their residential neighbours. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains and nestled on glacier-fed Nita Lake, we are home to two lakeside restaurants, a local’s favorite cafe, full service spa, yoga & fitness; Nita has something for everyone to enjoy! The stunning setting truly makes you feel as if you have entered your own lakeside retreat. We have many amazing spots that provide some perfect photo-ops, from the architecture inside and around the Lodge, stunning bridges and the lakeside dock everyone is able to find their dream photo spot.
Design:
The design of the Nita Lake Lodge is second to none. Warm, beautiful wood and iron rivets recall early mountain lodges with a modern sensibility.

Architecture
The architectural expression recalls that of early mountain lodges and train stations featuring multiple gables, balconies and two porte-cochères. Many of these design elements are built in heavy timber or in a wood-steel composite construction. Many accents and details are also in wood – those that are structural being in Douglas-fir and those that are simply decorative, being in western red cedar.

Interior Design
Wood plays a key role in creating the interior character of the hotel. The public route through the building that connects Lake Placid Road to the lake-shore is identified by a river of blue granite that passes between Douglas-fir faced columns that are similar in appearance to those outside. Alder doors and trim add to the visual warmth of the lobby area and complement other custom designed pieces, such as the restaurant gates fabricated from iron railroad spikes. Much of the cabinetry, in both the public areas and in the guest rooms, is made of local alder. Straight grained and fast growing, alder is the most abundant commercial hardwood in this region of British Columbia, and can be used for a variety of interior applications. Alder is naturally light in colour, so the cabinetry in the north-facing rooms was stained dark cherry to create a warmer atmosphere, while a honey colour was used for the cabinetry in the brighter south-facing rooms. The clean lines and crisp detailing of the millwork help maintain a sense of spaciousness.
Standout venue features:
Having our unique lakeside location we offer many seasonal complimentary amenities including bicycles, canoes, kayaks and stand-up paddle boards that will help our guests to make the most of their Whistler summer vacation. In the winter months, guests are able to rent a pair of our complimentary snow shoes to explore the local trails.
Awards & Notables
Awards, recognitions, or noteworthy achievements associated with the venue.
