Situated: The Fairmont Chateau is located at the bottom of Blackcomb mountain within the town of Whistler. They are not owned by Vail (the company that owns Whistler Blackcomb) so this is a different employer altogether, in the same ski town.

Size of Hotel: This property boasts 519 rooms.

Staff Housing: The location comes with shared staff housing which is offsite and roughly a 4min drive or a 20min walk. This is generally located in Glacier Lodge which is one of the same locations for staff housing as Whistler Blackcomb (Vail). Most rooms are 2 people per room with 4 people sharing a 2 bedroom unit. Housing is allocated by The Fairmont, however, you can put in any requests of who you want to share with once you have a job contract.
