Pangea Pod Hotel Whistler

The Pangea Pod Hotel is a capsule concept hotel / hostel set in the heart of Whistler’s pedestrian Village Stroll.

 

Proximity and privacy without the price tag. Pangea was born out of a need for a new kind of accommodation in Whistler – a place where people with a shared passion for mountain sports, travel or just life in general could meet, relax and share stories but still have their own personal space at the end of the day. With this in mind, we created something unique – an affordable yet boutique property offering private pods, that are both cozy (think natural wood finishes) and well-equipped (cue USB ports) within a chic, laid-back setting. And best of all, we put it right in the heart of Whistler, a couple minutes’ stroll from the nearest gondolas.

 

We’re not a hotel. We’re not a hostel. We’re the best of both worlds, providing our guests the privacy and comfort of a hotel and the affordability and social vibe of a hostel. So while you just draw back the curtain to your pod and plug into your iPad at the end of an epic day on the mountains, you can also connect with other travellers over a craft beer in The Living Room or on The Rooftop Patio.

 

All pods have super comfy double memory-foam mattresses, wood-lined walls, a curtain entrance for privacy, mirrors, fans, LED lighting and storage space like hangers, hooks and shelves.

 

Pods are categorized as below:

 

Mezzanine: As the name implies, these are all found on our Mezzanine (i.e. “Loft”) level. Aside from needing to skip up a few additional steps to access them, the main difference between these and all our other pods is that their associated storage space for both your bag and your valuables is across from your pod, not within it. In case you think that’s a negative, we should tell you that this means the actual “lockable” space is far larger than that in all our other pods (which instead of a large lockable cubby have a small lockable cabinet for valuables and a cable-tie to secure your bag). That being said, since the storage is indeed outside your pod (if only a step away), these are priced at a discount and are therefore our most affordable pod type.

 

Front-Entry: Our most common pod type is found on both our second and third floors. We call them “Front-entry” because you enter from the front. Duh. And while the entrance to our Front-entry pods is smaller than that of our Side-entry ones, making them narrower but longer, the benefit is that once you draw back your curtain you (and your head) are further from “the rest of the world”. From a pricing perspective, these are right in the middle – still very affordable, but just a little bit more than our Mezzanine pods because of their longer length and integrated storage.

 

Side-Entry: You probably guessed this one. We don’t have many Side-entry pods, but the ones we do are all located on our third floor. They have the most spacious and gracious feel, and as such come at a slight premium to their Front-entry cousins. You’ll have to book early to be lucky enough to get one.

 

Female Only: The name says it all – a private pod in a female-only suite. A good option if you’re just testing the waters of the shared accommodation concept or simply want added peace of mind.

 

All pods are grouped in suites, with all suites equipped with private bathrooms. All bathrooms are fitted with free soap and conditioning shampoo, with hair dryers available free-of-charge at reception.
