This small hotel in the midst of Kelowna’s downtown area is ideal for tourists and businessmen for its proximity to leading tourist attractions and business areas, at most, three blocks away.
Businessmen will like the proximity to Kelowna’s City Hall and its new Courthouse complex. Several new office buildings are also in the area to cater to the city’s growing business industry. Tourists can enjoy Okanagan Lake, Prospera place, Kelowna Marina, Lake City Casino, and the Memorial Arena. Pets are accepted.

There are also restaurants of various cuisines and budgets, from fine dining to fast food. The hotel itself has O’ Flannigan’s Pub and Deli (in a separate building), and an on-site beer & specialty wine store.

Guest Rooms:
The guest rooms have either two queen beds or a king bed with a separate sitting area. Don’t expect a flat screen, but there is a TV set. The bed might be a bit firm, but not so much that you won’t get a good night’s sleep. There are necessary facilities for business trips –fax ports, irons/boards, coffee makers, hair dryers, automatic voice mail, and desks with lights.

The front desk will assist with printouts (spreadsheets, notes, correspondence), receiving or sending faxes, making/reconfirming travel arrangements, guest e-mail message service, complimentary high speed lobby internet, and high speed wireless internet access.

Function rooms:
The Royal Anne has meeting and banquet rooms for weddings, seminars, et. al. for 10-160 people, with a selection of catering menus.

Summary:
Don’t expect luxury at the Royal Anne in Kelowna. There is no Jacuzzi and the carpet may seem a bit worn. If you can overlook these details however, there is good service, value for money, and a high overall independent rating of 4-1/2 stars from guests.
