Welcome to
HI Whistler
HI Whistler
Whistler, British Columbia
Get up close to Canada’s #1 ski resort—minus the snow, but it’s just as unforgettable when the snow melts. In winter, carve down world-class slopes or cozy up in the village après-scene. In summer, the mountains transform into a mecca for hiking, biking, and alpine adventure. HI Whistler, once part of the 2010 Olympic Athletes’ Village, is now one of the best budget-friendly stays in town. With a licensed café, BBQ decks with mountain views, ensuite private rooms, shared four-bed dorms, and fully equipped common spaces, you’re set for the ultimate mountain escape—just a short drive from the village, no matter the season.

I loved HI Whistler! This was my first experience ever with a hostel and it was a great introduction! In fact, I have only been using hostels ever since I stayed at this place.....
Best Deal in Whistler. My husband and I stayed in one of the private rooms with its own bathroom. Very spacious - more than many hotels. Clean, quiet, bright and beautiful view of the mountains. Staff was very accommodating. Would definitely recommend this.
One of the best hostels I've visited. This hostel is great for so many reasons. It's more like a hotel (clean and modern) with hostel vibe (friendly and social)... Staff are amazing. It's a winner.
Turned my view of a hostel on its head! Great staff. Great space. Great experience!
Clean, comfortable, well priced. This is more like a hotel than a hostel. I'm a solo female traveler and this is my first trip travelling alone, and my first stay in a shared dorm of a hostel. I was really pleased!
