4-star lakeside resort on Okanagan Lake with a private beach and on-site farm-to-table dining

Amenities & Grounds

Penticton Lakeside Resort has a private beach accessible only to hotel guests, with complimentary water sports rentals including paddle boards and boats. The resort uses mass-timber construction, a first in British Columbia, and runs on geothermal heating with electric vehicle charging stations on site. During winter, the private beach transforms into a skating rink with a fire pit, while the indoor pool and hot tub remain open year-round.

Rooms

The West Wing features newly renovated rooms with balconies and lake views, while the Main Building offers lakefront suites with comfortable beds and modern bathrooms. Each room includes a flat-screen TV, coffee machine, refrigerator, and private bathroom with two sinks. Pets are welcome on designated floors, and the hotel provides pet bowls and nearby parks for walking.

Dining

Guests can dine at the Hooded Merganser Restaurant, which serves meals with ingredients from the hotel's Valley View Farm, and at the Barking Parrot Bar for casual pub fare and live music. The hotel also offers 24-hour room service and breakfast at the Bufflehead coffee shop. A special eco-deal gives guests a $15 restaurant coupon for skipping daily housekeeping.

Wellness & Recreation

The on-site Pure Gym & Juicery offers a full fitness center with spin studio, yoga classes, nutrition coaching, and a juice bar. The hotel's spa services include a hair salon, beauty treatments, and wellness coaching, along with a fitness/spa locker room. Guests can also book private boat rentals at the marina for water-skiing or para-sailing.

Location & Nearby Attractions

The resort sits on the southern shore of Okanagan Lake, within walking distance of downtown Penticton's shops, galleries, and the Saturday farmer's market across the street. Nearby wineries include Tinhorn Creek Vineyard, and outdoor activities at Okanagan Lake Park and Skaha Bluffs Provincial Park are minutes away. The resort also houses a 32,000-square-foot conference centre with two large ballrooms for business events.
