The YukonHome/Where to stay/West Kelowna/3-star hotels
3-star hotels in West Kelowna
Ten 3-star hotels in West Kelowna, from lakeside resorts to small bed and breakfasts on the slopes above Okanagan Lake. Two are within 2 km of the centre; the rest spread out along the water and the residential hills, so the choice is mostly about setting.
Staying in West Kelowna
West Kelowna keeps a more residential feel than its busier neighbour across the lake, with commercial strips along Highway 97 and pockets of resort development near the water. The semi-arid climate brings hot, dry summers and mild winters, and the city sits on the traditional territory of the Syilx Okanagan people, with parks and cultural sites reflecting that heritage. Visitors come for wineries, lakefront beaches and outdoor recreation in the Okanagan Valley.
The hotels on this list cluster in a few places. Two sit on Carrington Road within 2 km of the centre: TownePlace Suites by Marriott West Kelowna and Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott West Kelowna, both with pools and free parking. Casa Loma Lakeshore Resort and Casa Loma BnB lie near Casa Loma Rd and Benedick Rd by the shore, while Seclusion Bay Resort is furthest out at 7.4 km. The bed and breakfasts on Vineyard Drive, Lakeview Cove Pl and Tomat Ave suit couples and short breaks; the Carrington Road hotels, with gyms, business centres and family rooms, fit families and business travellers.
