Specialties
Pangea is Canada's first pod hotel, offering affordable boutique accommodation in the form of individual sleeping compartments, all of which come complete with double mattresses, fine linens and curtains for privacy. Situated in the heart of Whistler Village, Pangea impresses guests with its chic design, central location and nightly rates which are significantly cheaper than comparably located hotels.
The Living Room, offering fresh and delicious yet affordable food, is located on Pangea's second floor and has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Village Stroll. Breakfast runs late (always until 1 PM) and includes gourmet eggs benedict and barista-made coffee, or smoothies (and smoothie bowls) for those looking for something lighter. Flatbread pizzas and charcuterie boards (and more), along with expertly-mixed cocktails, local beer and wine by the glass, can be enjoyed until 1 AM. The Living Room also offer a wide array of board games, the perfect accompaniment to an evening relaxing around one of Pangea's large family-style tables.
The Rooftop Patio, located on Pangea's third floor, is the only true top-deck terrace in Whistler Village. Looking out over the Village Stroll and with views of the mountains beyond, it's the perfect destination for people-watching and range-gazing. The bar serves up superb cocktails (and of course local beers and wine by the glass), plus hot chocolate with or without a splash of Bailey's - the perfect way to warm up on a winter's day.

Meet the Business Owner: Russell + Jelena K.
The Pangea Pod Hotel is the brainchild of husband-and-wife team Russell and Jelena Kling, who after traveling the world for three years decided to establish Canada's first pod hotel in Whistler. Embracing the best aspects of the hotels and hostels they stayed in along the way, and sensing an opportunity to bring something completely new to one of the world's greatest ski resorts, the pair created a unique, boutique property that offers affordable accommodation in the heart of Whistler Village and brings people from all over the globe together in a single, social venue.
The Living Room, located on Pangea's second floor, was also designed by Russell and Jelena, who after many years of experiencing (and enjoying) the communal vibe of hotels and hostels around the world, were determined to bring a social aspect to their own property. Inspired by their encounters with backpackers from across the globe, they created a hub in the heart of Whistler Village where guests could do the same.
