Most 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.

Guest Rooms

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.

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.
