From Seattle, WA (2 ways to get there) The Fairmont Chateau Whistler is located 120 km (75 miles or 2.5 hours) north of Vancouver off of highway #99 at the foot of Blackcomb Mountain, along the scenic Sea to Sky Highway (#99). There are two different driving options. Whistler is about a four- to five-hour drive from Seattle, with the trip to Vancouver taking about three hours, and the Vancouver-Whistler leg about two hours, depending on road and traffic conditions.

The trip north from Seattle, along the Interstate 5 or I-5, to the U.S.-Canada Douglas Border crossing (Peace Arch) is about 176 kilometres or 100 miles. Border crossing times vary according to the day and time, with weekends seeing more line-ups. Drivers have two travelling options before hitting the U.S.-Canada border, depending on whether they want a scenic trip through the City of Vancouver, or an abbreviated one ... avoiding all the traffic hot spots.

Option 1 - Quick Route: During heavy peak traffic times travellers can take the alternate Truck Border crossing by using Exit 275, off of I-5, before getting to the main Douglas Border crossing. Drivers can then follow the Pacific Highway (also known as 176th Street or Hwy 15) through Surrey, over the Cloverdale Bypass to Hwy 1 (the Trans Canada Highway). Exit onto Hwy. 1, travelling west, and follow the highway out of Surrey, over the Port-Mann Bridge, through Port Coquitlam, Burnaby and East Vancouver. Hwy. 1 then travels over the Second Narrows Bridge, through North and West Vancouver up to Horseshoe Bay, where Whistler-bound drivers will exit right, onto Hwy. 99, also known as the Sea to Sky Highway.

Option 2 - Scenic Option through Vancouver: Once in Canada, after going through the Douglas Border crossing, I-5 becomes Highway 99 which travels north into Vancouver. The trip will take you through the Massey Tunnel and over the Oak Street Bridge. Once across the Oak Street Bridge, you will notice that cross streets will all be numbered in descending order from 73rd St. down. When you reach the 41st Street intersection turn left and travel west until you see the next major intersection - Granville Street. Turn right and head north on Granville, which will lead you over the Granville Street Bridge into downtown Vancouver. While on the bridge shift over to the far right lane and take the Seymour Street exit.Travel north on Seymour, until you hit Georgia Street, and turn left. Georgia Street will take you out of downtown Vancouver, through Stanley Park and over the Lions Gate suspension bridge. Whistler-bound travellers will circle around and exit via the Marine Drive West turnoff. Once on Marine Drive get in the right-hand lane, as you will be making the first right onto Taylor Way. After travelling up the hill, turn left onto Highway 1 West, and follow the signs to Whistler via Highway 99.
