We are beyond thrilled to announce that Nita Lake Lodge has been awarded a Michelin Key as part of the MICHELIN Guide's inaugural selection for Canadian hotels in 2024!

Unlocking Excellence: Nita Lake Lodge Awarded a Michelin Key
Whistler earned more Michelin Keys than Vancouver this year—further proof that our little mountain town is a world-class destination.
What is a Michelin Key?
When it comes to the world of travel and hospitality, the Michelin Guide is synonymous with excellence. Most of us are familiar with the coveted Michelin Stars awarded to the finest restaurants around the globe, but this year, the Michelin Guide introduced the Michelin Key awards for hotels. A Michelin Key signifies “a very special stay” and acknowledges hotels that go above and beyond in creating memorable guest experiences.
Out of over 5,000 hotels evaluated worldwide, Michelin Keys are awarded based on five key criteria:
- Architecture and Interior Design: How the hotel’s design enhances the guest experience.
- Quality and Consistency of Service: Delivering exceptional service at every turn.
- Overall Personality and Character: The unique charm and essence of the hotel.
- Value: Providing a superior experience in relation to cost.
- Significant Contribution to the Guest Experience: Creating a sense of place that elevates the stay.
For us at Nita Lake Lodge, this award is a testament to our dedication to offering an authentic Whistler experience rooted in luxury, warmth, and the stunning beauty of our lakeside location. We’re especially proud to be part of a select few Canadian hotels to receive this recognition, and even more so that Whistler earned more Michelin Keys than Vancouver this year—further proof that our little mountain town is a world-class destination.
What This Means for Nita Lake Lodge
Receiving a Michelin Key is not just an accolade—it is a milestone that reflects the positive changes and improvements we’ve made at Nita Lake Lodge this year. As part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing the guest experience, we’ve introduced several exciting developments:
