The YukonHome/Where to stay/Kelowna/3-star hotels
3-star hotels in Kelowna
A shortlist of 15 three-star hotels in Kelowna, from airport hotels on Innovation Drive and Airport Way to lakeshore resorts and downtown addresses. It is for travellers who want a mid-range base for wine tasting, lake days, skiing or a short city break.
Staying in Kelowna
Kelowna mixes urban amenities with natural attractions: a waterfront park and cultural district downtown, shops and restaurants, and wineries, golf courses and hiking trails in the surrounding area. In winter, ski resorts such as Big White and Silver Star draw visitors; in summer, boating, fishing and swimming take over. Over 175 hotels are listed on our site, with an average guest score of 4.1 out of 5. These three-star hotels spread across several parts of the city. Downtown addresses such as Abbott Street and Bernard Ave put you near the waterfront and restaurants, roughly 1.1 to 1.3 km from the centre. Others sit on Powick Rd, Enterprise Way and Lakeshore Road, and two are up at Big White. It suits couples, families and skiers as much as business travellers with early flights.
