The best all-round casino hotel on our full list — a Whistler Village flagship that gets the floor, the rooms and the mountain access all genuinely right.

The Alpine Sevens sits at the base of Whistler Village, close enough to the lifts that guests come off the mountain in ski boots and straight onto the floor. Timber and stone give the building a proper lodge feel without tipping into cliché.
What separates it from the rest of our list is consistency across every category: a floor that's both large and well run, rooms that are genuinely comfortable, and a dining line-up strong enough to anchor a night that has nothing to do with the tables.
A large, high-ceilinged room carries the full table spread plus a busy poker room, with deep slot banks along the village-facing windows. The high-limit salon is the best-appointed on our entire list, with its own private terrace.
A hundred and eighty rooms and suites, most with mountain views, sit above the floor. Four restaurants, an après-ski bar and a late lounge mean the building rarely feels quiet.
In the heart of Whistler Village, steps from the Whistler and Blackcomb gondolas. Vancouver International is roughly two hours by road.
The Alpine Sevens is our top score across the whole guide — a rare case of a casino hotel that's excellent at everything rather than outstanding at one thing.
