Amenities
Penticton Lakeside Resort offers a range of on-site amenities such as a full-size gym and juice bar, pool and hot tub, and water sport rentals. The private licensed beach area includes beach towels, chairs, and tables with umbrellas for guest relaxation. In winter, the beach transforms into a skating rink, adding seasonal excitement to the lakefront experience.
Rooms
The hotel features 273 guest rooms and suites, each with balconies offering stunning mountain or lake views. In 2017, the West Wing expansion introduced 70 luxurious rooms using mass timber construction, a first of its kind in British Columbia. These rooms provide ample space and comfort for all types of travelers.
Location
Centrally located on the shores of Okanagan Lake, the resort is a short distance from downtown Penticton, local attractions, and outdoor activities. It is adjacent to parks and beaches, offering guests immediate access to nature's beauty. The resort stands out as a destination in the Okanagan Valley, with nearby vineyards and mountain ranges to explore.
Dining
Penticton Lakeside Resort offers three dining options overlooking Okanagan Lake. The Hooded Merganser, known for its fresh local produce from the hotel's own Valley View Farm, serves a diverse Mediterranean-inspired menu. Bufflehead Café and Barking Parrot Bar complement the dining experience with casual and elegant settings for meals and drinks.
Eco-Friendly Initiatives
As an eco-friendly resort, Penticton Lakeside Resort incorporates geothermal heating and cooling systems, reducing its carbon footprint. The hotel implements a Green Choice program allowing guests to opt out of housekeeping services for food and beverage vouchers. Electric vehicle charging stations provide convenience for guests traveling with eco-conscious vehicles.

“Penticton Lakeside Resort has a lock on location, no question, and the private beach is a real draw. I'm impressed by the hotel's commitment to sustainability, especially the farm-to-table dining, which adds a genuine local touch. The conference facilities are extensive, a boon for business travelers seeking a refreshing change of scenery.”
