The YukonHome/Where to stay/Vernon/4- and 5-star hotels
4- and 5-star hotels in Vernon
A shortlist of the 4- and 5-star hotels in Vernon, from an adults-only spa resort above Lake Okanagan to lakeside vacation homes and B&Bs on the hillsides. It is for travellers who want a resort base for the lake, the golf courses or Silver Star in winter.
Staying in Vernon
Vernon sits among lakes, orchards, vineyards and golf courses, with Silver Star Mountain Resort for skiing in winter and Okanagan Lake and Kalmalka Lake for swimming, boating and hiking in summer. Downtown has shops, restaurants and cultural venues including the Vernon Public Art Gallery and the Vernon Museum, and a car is recommended for getting out to the surrounding area.
The hotels on this list are spread around the edges of the city rather than downtown. Vita Resort Vernon and Top Floor Lakeshore Views Near Skiing sit on Lakeshore Road by Lake Okanagan, Sparkling Hill is on Sparkling Place, Predator Ridge on Village Centre Place and Outback Lakeside on Eastside Road. Telemark Ridge Lodge and Country Cottage B&B are closest to the centre, at 4.9 and 5.7 km. Couples gravitate to the adults-only spa resort and the B&Bs, families to the vacation homes with kitchens, pools and playgrounds, and golfers to Predator Ridge.
