    Race & Cultural Diversity

    We strive to create a team of diverse colleagues from different nations, cultures, and religions. We don’t only do this to broaden our team’s understanding of all cultures and backgrounds, but also believe, and have witnessed, that the best results are produced by diverse teams.

    2SLGBTQIA+

    An important part of our brand’s identity is to welcome everyone to our hotels. We do not discriminate against any colleague’s sexual orientation and participate annually in 2SLGBTQIA+ initiatives like Whistler’s Pride & Ski Festival to celebrate pride with our guests and colleagues.
