The Delta Hotels Grand Okanagan Resort occupies the downtown lakefront at 1310 Water Street, beside the boardwalk and the marina. It is the largest resort in the city centre, with an indoor pool and outdoor pool, a whirlpool, an on-site spa and a complimentary fitness centre. It has two restaurants, a bar and a club lounge, and offers complimentary bike rental and watercraft rental for guests. The hotel also has 14 event spaces, so it is popular for weddings and conferences, and it holds a Green Key eco-rating. The lake, the park and the downtown restaurants are on the doorstep, and Kelowna International Airport is about 15 kilometres away. It suits families and groups who want facilities and a lakefront base in one place.
Location and getting around
The resort is in downtown Kelowna on Okanagan Lake, with direct access to the lakefront boardwalk, so you can walk to restaurants, the cultural district and the waterfront parks. The airport is about 15 kilometres away, and the hotel does not run a shuttle, but a bus station is nearby. A car helps for the wineries and Myra Canyon, while the bike rental covers short trips along the lake and into downtown.
The rooms and the feel
Rooms include standard hotel rooms and condo-style options, and pets up to two in number are allowed in select rooms with a fee. The hotel lists indoor and outdoor pools, a whirlpool, a spa, a fitness centre, table tennis and complimentary watercraft rental. One listing shows the outdoor pool as closed, so confirm its status before you go, especially in the cool months. A daily resort fee applies in winter, and parking is charged by the day, so factor both into your budget.
Who it suits and what to know: families, groups and anyone who wants a full-service resort with a lakefront address will like it, and it works well for a winter stay too, with the indoor pool and spa. The size means it can be busy with events, so ask for a quiet room away from function spaces. Rates vary a lot by season, with summer the peak, so midweek stays in the cool months are the best value. The minimum check-in age is 19, and check-in is in the afternoon.
