Finding a Hotel in Kelowna, BC
• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide for Kelowna, British Columbia.
Bathed in glorious sunshine and heat each summer, and set beside the vast Okanagan Lake, surrounded by numerous wineries, orchards and golf courses, it is no wonder that countless visitors come to the city of Kelowna each year, nor that many of these visitors choose to stay in one of Kelowna's abundant hotels. Whether travellers are looking for lodging that provides every comfort and convenience or one that won't break the bank, Kelowna has a hotel suitable for all. Amenities easily found in Kelowna's hotels include heated indoor or outdoor pools, hot tubs, balconies or patios, kitchenettes, high-speed Internet and on-site restaurants or lounges.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
Nearly all of Kelowna's hotels can be found in three areas: along Harvey Avenue (Highway 97), in the downtown core and on Okanagan Lake along Lakeshore Road.
Harvey Ave (Highway 97)
Travellers looking for a hotel with easy access to the highway and the area's many activities and attractions will find numerous hotels of varying cost located along Highway 97. Typically featuring popular services such as pools, hot tubs, fitness centres, guest laundry and free breakfast and set amongst abundant shops and restaurants, hotels such as the Comfort Suites make finding convenient accommodation easy.
Downtown/Water Street
Situated in Kelowna's busy centre, downtown hotels are ideally located near Lake Okanagan and the city's many festivals and other events. The Delta Grand Okanagan Resort and Conference Centre, one of Kelowna's most luxurious hotels, can be found on Water Street, on the shore of Okanagan Lake near the Kelowna Yacht Club. This lavish resort caters to business travellers, families and groups of all sizes with a range of accommodation styles such as king and queen rooms, suites and fully furnished condominiums with complete kitchens and patios. The resort is also home to the Lake City Casino, styled after a Caribbean cruise theme.
Lakeshore Road
Positioned off the beaten track along the shore of Lake Okanagan and surrounded by numerous green spaces such as Mission Recreation Park as well as a number of beaches like the Rotary and Gyro Beach parks, visitors staying on Lakeshore Road can relax and enjoy the valley's sunshine and heat. Guests of the Manteo Resort Waterfront Hotel and Villas can choose to stay in deluxe rooms or one-, two- and three-bedroom villas and make use of the abundant services and amenities, including boat moorage, tennis courts, a private beach and boat rentals.
SERVICES & PRACTICES
Many of the hotels within Kelowna aim to provide services to a diverse clientele. These services range from being child and pet friendly to offering event space for meetings and weddings to practising good business with non-discriminatory and environmentally friendly policies.
Children & Pets
Many hotels within the city are child and pet friendly. Services catering to guests with families extend from kid-friendly amenities such as pools, in-room games and special kits upon check-in to free stays for children with parents and discounts when dining on site. Accommodations in the area that accept pets may have size restrictions and many charge a cleaning fee. An excellent choice for both families and pet owners, the Days Inn offers guests a variety of packages that can include activities like wine tours, golf and skiing, as well as amenities such as an outdoor pool and hot tub, fitness room and free breakfast.
Meetings & Weddings
Companies looking for conference facilities as well as couples looking for that special wedding venue will discover a variety of flexible spaces available at Kelowna hotels. From intimate dining for five people to reception space for 2,000 or banquets on a patio for 400, facility size and functionality varies. These facilities generally make available catering, audio visual equipment and personnel to aid in the planning of weddings, meetings and other events. The Best Western not only features adaptable event space that can hold up to 190 people, but shows its green spirit with 102 roof-top solar panels, which can heat anywhere from 60 to 90 per cent of the hot water used on site.
TAG-Approved Hotels
Catering to a thriving LGBT community, many of Kelowna's hotels have adopted good gay and lesbian business practices. Members of the LGBT communities looking for TAG (Travel Alternatives Group)-approved hotels can choose from several, including the Coast Capri Hotel. As well as having a diversity-friendly attitude, this hotel has ample space for functions such as business meetings and weddings, implements a number of green practices, offers 24-hour room service and is pet friendly.
Green Peace of Mind
The environmentally conscious will find a number of suitable hotels that make a concerted effort to run a sustainable, green business. Hotels such as the Fairfield Inn and Suites work to reduce their footprint by recycling, and reducing their fuel and water consumption with linen reuse programs and low-flow shower heads and toilets.
