O'Neill Hotels & Resorts Ltd. is a leading Canadian hotel management company. Foodservice & Hospitality Magazine recognized it as Canada’s fastest growing hotel company in 1998.
 
Today, O’Neill Hotels & Resorts operates the new Westin Resort and Spa, Whistler, Westin Grand Hotel, Vancouver, the Coast Blackcomb Suites at Whistler, and the Pacific Palisades Hotel, Vancouver.
 
The essence of O’Neill Hotels & Resorts is a symbiotic partnership of two brothers with, combined, 50 years of hotel and resort industry experience. Virtually born into the Industry, Rob and John O’Neill originally worked with their father overseeing the family-owned Coast Hotels and Resorts chain.
 
In the early-nineties, after successfully managing the transition of Coast to new owners, they branched out on their own, acquiring several west coast hotel management contracts, including the Inn at Westminster Quay, and entering into a partnership with Intrawest to acquire and manage the burgeoning Whistler Lodging Company (then Powder Resort Properties). Whistler Lodging Company was sold to Resort Quest in January of 2005.
 
The dramatic growth and success of Whistler Lodging Company quickly established O'Neill Hotels and Resorts as the pre-eminent manager of strata-titled, or condominium hotel units in Canada. This, in turn, led to the opportunity to manage the Westin Grand, Vancouver, which opened in 1999, and the Westin Resort and Spa, Whistler which opened in 2000. Both of these Westin’s, under the watchful eye and steady hand of O'Neill Hotels and Resorts, have rapidly established themselves as leaders in performance and guest satisfaction.
 
Concurrent with the development of the two Westin’s, O'Neill Hotels and Resorts was also in the process of leveraging its vast knowledge of the hotel industry in co-founding Canada’s first Real Estate Investment Trust. Canadian Hotel Income Properties (CHIP REIT) went public in 1997. The initial public offering was nearly $300 million and represented the acquisition of 15 hotels. O'Neill Hotels and Resorts was entrusted with the huge undertaking of managing the repositioning and streamlining of the hotel portfolio – which numbered thirty-six by the time the CHIP REIT agreed to internalize the management.
 
Following the meteoric growth of O'Neill Hotels and Resorts associated with CHIP REIT the company has transformed into a boutique manager with a particular specialty in resorts, full service and strata ownership properties.
