The YukonHome/Where to stay/Penticton/3-star hotels
3-star hotels in Penticton
This shortlist gathers the 3-star hotels in Penticton, from lakefront addresses on Lakeshore Drive to a winery guest suite on Naramata Rd and condo rentals up at Apex. It is for travellers who want a rated, mid-range base for the Okanagan Valley's lakes, beaches and wineries.
Staying in Penticton
Penticton sits between two lakes in the South Okanagan, and its compact downtown is walkable, with shops, restaurants and the South Okanagan Events Centre all in one place. Fruit growing has been part of the local economy, and farmers' markets operate in season. The city hosts events through the year, such as the Penticton Peach Festival and the Ironman Canada triathlon, and its beaches and wine industry make it a base for exploring the Okanagan Valley.
Most of the hotels on this shortlist are within roughly 3 km of the centre. Three sit along Lakeshore Drive on the Okanagan Lake waterfront; others cluster on Eckhardt Avenue West, Westminster Avenue West, Burnaby Avenue West, Vernon Avenue and Riverside Drive, around 2 km out. Indiahouse on Fairford Dr is closest at 0.5 km, while the Apex accommodations on Creekview Rd, Strayhorse Rd and Whitetail Road lie far to the south. The mix suits couples, families, conference-goers and short breaks.
