A new hotel is offering an alternative for people who aren鈥檛 interested in much space.
The Pangea Pod Hotel, located in the village, bills itself as much smaller than a typical hotel room, but more comfortable than a hostel, with each of the 88 private dorms made up of a bed and storage space for luggage.

鈥淚n other Whistler hotels, you鈥檒l find standard rooms, some of them small, some of them big, some of them absolutely gigantic and rather pointless,鈥� the hotel鈥檚 website reads. 鈥淎ll well and good, but do you actually need so much space when there鈥檚 so much to do outside?鈥�
Each 鈥渟leeping chamber鈥� is just big enough to fit a queen-sized mattress and small area to hang up clothes, with private bathrooms.
There鈥檚 also a communal 鈥渓iving room,鈥� described as a lounge-meets-bar-meets-cafe, and lots of storage space for ski boots, snowboards and other equipment.

The company says its rates will be more affordable than standard hotels, but it has not released any details.
The hotel will do a soft launch in July, and be set to fully open mid-summer.
