About Kelowna

What to know before you book

Kelowna is the jewel of British Columbia's Okanagan Valley — Canada's premier wine country (over 200 wineries within 30 minutes), blessed with Canada's most Mediterranean-like climate and situated on the shores of stunning 128km Okanagan Lake. Big White Ski Resort (55km east) is one of BC's top ski destinations.

The city has transformed from a fruit-packing town into one of Canada's most desirable small cities. Its restaurant scene is one of Canada's most exciting outside Vancouver and Toronto, and its combination of lake, wine and mountain makes it a year-round destination.

Insider Booking Tips

Save money and stress when booking hotels in Kelowna

🎯 Kelowna Hotel Booking Tips
  • 🍷
    Book winery tours in advance — Kelowna's 200+ Okanagan wineries range from tiny family operations to Mission Hill's cathedral-like winery. The Okanagan Wine Festival (October) is the best time — book 3–4 months ahead.
  • ☀️
    Summer weekends book fast — Kelowna draws enormous crowds in July and August. Weekend hotel availability disappears quickly — book 4–6 weeks ahead for summer weekends.
  • ⛷️
    Big White ski packages — Big White Ski Resort (55km east) has one of BC's best ski villages and some of Canada's best powder snow. Book the village early for Christmas/New Year and February school breaks.
  • 🏖️
    City Park Beach is Canada-class — Kelowna's City Park beach on Okanagan Lake is one of Canada's best urban beaches — warm lake water, a floating dock, beach volleyball, and the Ogopogo monster legend.
