How can
I make 2010 Winter Olympics accommodation reservations?
Contact Vancouver/Whistler
hotels directly, however, to provide a degree of flexibility
for the OCOG to effectively manage the needs of athletes and event
organizers many hotels are not confirming any group bookings
during the dates, February 1 through February 28, 2010 for the
Olympic period and March 1 through 21, 2010 for the Paralympics
period.

The Whistler-Blackcomb Resort, 126 kilometers north of Vancouver, is
among the most popular skiing resorts in North America, and will be
the site of the downhill events of the 2010 Winter Olympics. Grouse
Mountain, Mount Seymour, and Cypress Mountain, each with a variety of
summer and winter leisure activities, are within a 30 km drive of
downtown and all have bird's-eye views of the city and the surrounding
region. Vancouver's numerous beaches, parks, waterfronts, and mountain
backdrops, combined with its cultural and multi-ethnic character, all
contribute to its unique appeal and style. Over a million people
annually pass through Vancouver en route to a cruise ship vacation,
usually to Alaska.
