Whistler Pride had arranged our stay at the Whistler Cascade Lodge. The lodge offers a number of different rooms; we stayed in a Studio Unit, which had a queen size bed and kitchenette, which included a stovetop, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher and other kitchen supplies. The room is very comfortable and quite. We rarely heard anyone in the hallways.

Amenities include an outdoor pool, two outdoor hot tubs, and a sauna for those who want to relax after a busy day. It is a pretty large hotel with six floors and 112 rooms, located about a 10 minute walk from the ski hill or a three minute walk to the Whistler Pride Dance venue, the Whistler Conference Centre. Rob and I found the staff to be very friendly and extremely helpful. There is parking under the building, at an additional cost, where the car we rented sat for most of the time we were in Whistler. The only time it moved was to get to the pool party venue.

We recommend booking your hotel rooms for Whistler Pride several months in advance. Rooms closer to the Whistler Pride are at least $200 Cdn per night and up. If you book earlier, you can get close to $150 per night. I recommend you go as a group. You will notice that the larger rooms that hold four people are usually booked first. Also the longer you stay, the larger the discount per night. The hotel does have complimentary ski, snowboard and bike storage and offers discounts for lift passes, so check with their website for current rates. There is no restaurant on site, so you can’t order munchies after partying or get breakfast in the lodge. Also house keeping is only provided once a week to reduce the amount of washing and help the environment.
