This luxurious landmark hotel defines Kelowna’s good life.  A main draw is its Lake City Casino with 300 slot machines and 20 table games.  Acquired by Delta a year ago, it has undergone massive renovations.  Independent reviews are generally good.

Delta_roomMost guests enjoy the amazing view, as all rooms, villas and suites overlook either the Waterfront Park and Okanagan Lake, the lagoon, the city, or the mountains.  The rooms are refined and spotlessly clean.  Service is excellent, as is the food in the hotel’s seven restaurants.  You can also walk to several pubs and fine restaurants nearby.

However, precisely because of its price and reputation some reviewers expected more, and noted too was slightly outmoded décor which, under new management, is being addressed.

Tourists enjoy the short, three-block walk to trendy downtown Kelowna.  Other attractions are Guischan Heritage Park, Klo Orchards, Old MacDonald’s Farm, and The Bear Golf Course.

The hotel’s guest rooms have cable TV, coffeemakers, irons/boards, individual climate controls, two telephones, desks, alarm clock radios, hairdryers, and in most rooms, mini-bars.

The 24-hour front desk offers tour assistance, concierge, a business center, fax/photocopy, currency exchange, wake-up calls, ATM, laundry/valet, shops, safe deposit box, and parking (fee). There is also a gym, indoor and outdoor pools, hot tubs, sauna, lockers, classes, and personal trainers.

Function Rooms

This hotel has three function rooms.  The Grand Ballroom, 15,652 square feet, can be divided into seven rooms and seat 1500-2,000.  The Grand Foyer and Terrace, another function room, has an elegant portico leading to a 6,000 square foot terrace overlooking the swimming pool, courtyard and Okanagan Lake.  Finally, nine Breakout Rooms, some with balconies, fit 6 – 100 people.

Overall, the Delta Grand Okanagan Resort is a place that offers fun and high-class rooms with a short hop to the sandy beaches.

    This is a great hotel if you can get it for a decent price – We were meeting some friends in town and they ended up paying more than us to stay at the Dilworth (we booked early and got a good deal). Locatation is amazing but the hotel isn’t brand new anymore so I wouldn’t pay more than $200/night (if you can) because there are better places for that much (like the Prestige).

    Still, casino being close was awesome and had a great time on our trip, will stay here again.
