Increased Space

The Whistler Conference Centre underwent a $12 million modernization project in 2003. With increased space, new environmental standards, and more features, the building has received rave reviews.

The Sea to Sky Ballroom capacity is now 2000 people. A glass enclosed conservatory named the Mountain View provides natural light and spectacular views of the mountains with enough space to serve 120 people banquet style.

In addition to the 16,500 square foot ballroom that is divisible by three, there is increased capacity for meeting room breakout space to more than 1000 people in 14 breakout rooms.
