“Ms. Patil also sees potential for pod hotels. “The modern traveler values the overall experience,” she says. “These are a perfect fit for beach and ski towns, especially because skiing is expensive. You’re making some sacrifices on privacy, but I think the quality and personality will attract travelers.”

” Pangea is not quite a hotel, and not quite a hostel, allowing guests to spend more time on the slopes, and less on their budget.”

“Where to stay: Book a few nights in Whistler to explore this bustling mountain town. Budget-travelers flock to the boutique capsule Pangea Pod Hotel, located in the center of the main strip.”

“The Pangea: The new Pangea Pod Hotel in the exciting Olympic town of Whistler is an affordable, convenient getaway with individual berths designed for solo travellers.
If you’re willing to share space, Pangea has several strong points: good prices, a sociable ambiance, progressive food and drink and an enviable location almost adjacent to the Whistler Blackcomb Gondola.”

“We ran to snap some photos outside before it got too dark, then properly checked into the hotel. Pangea’s cool vibe hit us right away, with their all-digital check-in procedure, wrist bands instead of room cards and edgy artwork adorning the walls. Dimmed atmospheric lighting ran throughout the building and there was a real sense of mountain sport and adventure, meets stylish and chic comfort.”

“There’s a 24/7 reception, with no curfew. Although there are very considerate quiet hours in the pods from 10pm-7apm so you can get a good night’s sleep.
This hotel offers unique ‘pod’ accommodation that is affordably priced for Canada. There are single pods and double pods, offering privacy with a curtain. There are shelves, fans and mirrors in each pod for your comfort.“

“Whistler visitors have clearly discovered what sets Pangea apart from every other accommodation option in Canada’s most popular resort destination: the affordability and sociability of a hostel, combined with the privacy, comfort and sophisticated design of a boutique hotel. Conveniently situated in the centre of Whistler Village, Pangea has also won the hearts of locals, who rub elbows with travellers while enjoying espressos or craft beers in The Living Room.”

“With ski season in full swing, this week’s cocktail comes from Whistler—specifically, the village’s Pangea Pod Hotel. Created by food and beverage director Matt Scott and manager Raul Bautista Campos, the Dalmatian is a drink that the two say “shouldn’t work but does”. Perfect for après-ski.”

“One of the first pod hotels in Canada, this spot provides an affordable place to stay in popular Whistler. Enjoy the rooftop bar, along with comfy double beds in the capsules.”
Excerpt:
“Despite the survey’s findings, Whistler’s Pangea Pod Hotel owner Russell Kling tries not to focus on social media for his restaurant.
“(Social media) is a very small portion of our business,” said Kling. “I’m guessing, but I would say that 99.99 per cent of our business is repeat customers or word of mouth.”
The survey also revealed that the generation-X age group is more willing to speak up about any concerns they have to a manager while those who are 55 years old and over are more likely to compliment good service.”
