Nestled on the picturesque shores of Okanagan Lake, Penticton Lakeside Resort stands as a premier destination that beautifully blends luxury with nature. Celebrated for its stunning mass-timber architecture and as a proud eco-friendly establishment, this resort not only offers guests a unique window into the South Okanagan but also reflects a commitment to sustainable tourism. A hallmark of the Penticton coastline since 1982, this resort invites travelers from near and far to experience its enchanting lakeside views and rich offerings.
Rooms
The Penticton Lakeside Resort features 273 elegantly appointed guest rooms and suites, each designed to let the natural beauty of the Okanagan in with large private balconies that offer sweeping views of either the sparkling lake or majestic mountains. From cozy standard rooms to luxurious suites, every space is equipped with top-notch amenities including air conditioning, free toiletries, a flat-screen TV, and more. Whether you're enjoying a romantic getaway or a family vacation, the accommodations invite relaxation and rejuvenation.
Dining
Culinary excellence is at the heart of the Penticton Lakeside Resort, with three exceptional dining venues that cater to diverse tastes. Indulge in fresh, locally sourced cuisine at the Hooded Merganser, where a Mediterranean-inspired menu features dishes crafted from ingredients harvested from the resort's very own Valley View Farm. The Bufflehead Café and the vibrant Barking Parrot Bar also offer delectable options, ranging from hearty breakfasts to refreshing cocktails, all accompanied by breathtaking views of the lake that enhance the dining experience.
Leisure & Entertainment
Guests can immerse themselves in a plethora of leisure activities that make their stay unforgettable. Enjoy a day of relaxation at the resort's private beach, which transforms into a skating rink in winter, or dive into the resort's heated pool and hot tub. The PURE Gym + Juicery also invites guests to rejuvenate with a full range of fitness services including yoga classes and juice cleanses. For those seeking adventure, the resort offers water sport rentals, access to nearby hiking and biking trails, and organized events throughout the year, ensuring endless entertainment.
Location & Transportation
Conveniently positioned just steps away from downtown Penticton, the resort presents easy access to a wealth of local attractions, including renowned vineyards, stunning parks, and charming galleries. Easy transportation options include nearby bus services and a short drive from the Penticton Regional Airport, making it seamless for guests to explore the stunning South Okanagan. The resort's idyllic lakeside setting not only provides scenic beauty but also enhances the tranquil ambiance, making it the perfect getaway for nature lovers.
“This lakeside resort certainly earns points for its enviable position near Penticton's core. The private beach access is a major draw, though maintaining its exclusivity appears to be a challenge. With eco-friendly initiatives and diverse conference facilities, the hotel juggles both recreation and business travel, which is a smart balance.”
