The Carlton condos, of course, cost more than being in one of Whistler's neighborhoods. The Pan Pacific Condominiums are nearby and offer another nicely located option. It is slightly more expensive than the Carlton but has lots of extra features such as several restaurants and bars, a pool, and huge lobby. The photo above was taken near the Blackcomb Gondola facing toward the Village. As you can see, they are just steps from the ski lifts and gondola.
Whistler has lots of different accommodations in every budget range.

Since we took 4 month old twins on our last trip, we contacted Whistler's Nanny Network and hired a full-time babysitter to help during our vacation. They assigned Maria Syme, a 23 year old from New Zealand, who was an absolute delight and fit right in with our family. The 24 hour daily rate is far more reasonable than you might think and we can easily and highly recommend Nanny Network to anyone who might need assistance with infants or children of any age. They have hourly and daily rates.
