New owner-operated hotel in midst of golfer's paradise
Whistler, British Columbia, June 2, 2004

The recently opened Sundial Boutique Hotel, Whistler’s only owner-operated boutique hotel experience, is offering golfers a new reason to visit Canada’s number one golf destination. Set in the heart of Whistler village and surrounded by stunning views of breathtaking mountains, this intimate hotel steeped in west coast luxury offers golf getaway packages starting from as little as Cdn$419.

“With seven world-class golf courses in and around Whistler, we’re in the middle of golfers paradise,” said David Demers, principal owner and operator, “Our goal is to offer a level of personalized service that has guests talking as much about the Sundial as the outstanding golf.”

The scenic drive from Vancouver to Whistler and Pemberton (only 20 minutes outside of Whistler) finds golf enthusiasts enjoying some of North America’s most beautiful courses including Furry Creek Golf and Country Club, Squamish Valley Golf and Country Club, Nicklaus North Golf Club, Whistler Golf Club, Chateau Whistler Golf Club, Big Sky Golf and Country Club and Pemberton Valley Golf and Country Club. Starting at Cdn$419, golfers can enjoy one night accommodation at the Sundial in a luxurious one bedroom suite with private outdoor hot tub along with breakfast and one round of golf for two with shared power cart. Special group rates are also available for golf groups requiring 10 or more rooms.

With an eye to creating a unique experience in Whistler, each of the 49 suites at the Sundial has distinctive character and décor. Guests will enjoy spacious suites complete with full-size kitchen and appliances, gas fireplace, bathrooms and bedrooms with beautiful linens, slate flooring, granite countertops and panoramic views. Only steps away from restaurants, shopping and night life, after a day on the greens golfers can indulge in Whistler’s wide range of activities or simply enjoy the breathtaking view from their private balconies and hot tubs.

The team at the Sundial Boutique Hotel manages every detail of every day. From booking and adding tee off times to room accounts, to complimentary shuttle service, golf club storage, and arranging for in-room personal chefs to create a gourmet meal on private sun-drenched decks, the hotel is committed to making memorable experiences an every day occurrence. According to Demers, “Service isn’t just a philosophy here it’s a part of how each day unfolds.”

The Sundial Boutique Hotel is the only owner-operated boutique hotel experience in Whistler, site of the proposed alpine and nordic venues for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games and one of the top ski destinations on the continent. Located in the heart of Whistler Village this small, intimate hotel offers 49 spacious suites with full-sized kitchens, unparalleled mountain scenery and private hot tubs.
