The YukonHome/Where to stay/Vernon/3-star hotels
3-star hotels in Vernon
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Vernon, British Columbia, grouped by what each property is actually good for. It is for travellers planning a lake-and-mountain break in the Okanagan who want mid-range rooms and clear comparisons, not marketing claims.
Staying in Vernon
Vernon sits in the Okanagan region of British Columbia, where a mild climate supports water activities on the lakes and access to ski hills in winter. The surrounding area is known for orchards, vineyards and golf courses, while downtown holds shops, restaurants and cultural venues including the Vernon Public Art Gallery and the Vernon Museum. Summer is popular for swimming, boating and hiking; winter draws skiers to Silver Star Mountain Resort.
Most hotels on this list cluster along 32nd Street, 34th Street and Anderson Way, 0.3 to 1.8 km from the centre, so downtown shops and restaurants are close at hand. A few sit further out: The Castle at Swan Lake at 7.5 km, OKeefe's Landing Bed & Breakfast at 7.8 km, The Strand Lakeside Resort at 6.1 km and The Pinnacles Suite Hotel at 18.3 km. The mix suits couples on a short break, families using pools and family rooms, and skiers heading to Silver Star.
