The hotel within a hotel concept has been around for years, but we have seen more of these emerge in recent years due to the demand for a higher level of service. Many of us appreciate all the positive things that come with staying at a larger resort in terms of the amenities, dining options and more. However, we don’t want to get lost in the crowds and lose the personalized level of service we expect. These favorite North American hotels within a hotel provide several of the destinations we desire and the bespoke services we demand while being packaged within an elevated level of luxury accommodations.

Fairmont Gold at Fairmont Chateau Whistler

You can experience easy elegance, stylish surroundings, and elevated service in the sanctuary of the new Fairmont Gold lounge and 96 guestrooms within this sophisticated boutique hotel under the same roof with the resort. Designed by Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA), the $14.2 million project took inspiration from the nature and culture of the Whistler area to create a luxurious ski chalet experience. However, while Whistler has made its international mark for skiing, its world-class restaurants, shops, and galleries – along with scenic strolls in the mountain air are reasons enough for a getaway to this mountain retreat.

Fairmont Gold marries the sense of place with lush appointments, personalized service, and culinary artistry. A private concierge offers personalized service, while an exclusive lounge provides a treetop retreat to relax, read or catch up with friends and family. Award-winning Executive Chef Isabel Chung creates a daily extravaganza of gourmand delights for breakfast, afternoon tea, and après canapes.

“Fairmont Gold was designed as the next level for the discerning guest who wants the best when they travel,” explains Norman Mastalir, Managing Director of Fairmont Chateau Whistler. “The Lounge has a sense of exclusivity but it’s warm and welcoming with a luxurious residential feel. It serves as an extension to the guestroom and reflects Whistler’s awesome outdoors with the finest of amenities and service.”

Flagler Club at The Breakers Palm Beach

Flagler Club provides an entirely new level of exclusivity for guests within these limited number of rooms and suites at the resort that is known to provide an unparalleled level of luxury in every way, The Breakers Palm Beach. The personalized team at Flagler Club goes above and beyond to cater to your every need from start to finish – all in a very glamorous and boutique setting. This experience is the best of both worlds: you have complete access to the resort and its amenities, and then you retreat to your private floor, replete with additional amenities and one-of-a-kind perks.

Nestled within The Breakers on two restricted floors, Flagler Club is inarguably the resort’s most luxurious and exclusive offering, designed for personalized service and privacy from arrival to departure. You also have access to the chauffeured Tesla during your stay, including airport transportation. The resort has been setting the standards for luxury resorts since it was founded in 1896, and we can stand behind the Flagler Club as another bar that has now been raised for resorts looking to add their own hotel within a hotel option for guests desiring the best of the best.

“Inspired by our guests’ evolving expectations and the new travel environment, we have enhanced our service-intensive, boutique hotel to integrate health and safety measures with numerous, best-in-class amenities,” said Tricia Taylor, executive vice president & general manager of The Breakers Palm Beach. “We take great pride in Flagler Club’s commitment to provide every guest with a unique and memorable experience and to maximize their comfort and well-being.”
