 Location & Map

Location

This is where you want to be!! The Benchlands surround the base of Blackcomb ski runs. You literally walk out of the ski locker, cross the street, put on your skis, and ski down to the lifts. The Marquise is a six storey concrete building with incredible views above the lower wood-frame developments around us. It's a two minute walk from the Fairmont Chateau Whistler, tennis courts, and Chateau Golf Course, and a comfortable less than ten minute walk to the town center. If you're tired, lazy, or cold, a free shuttle service stops right in front of the building.
