Learn more about hotels in Kelowna

Nestled amidst the undulating Okanagan Valley, Kelowna is a city rich with history and character. Its name is derived from the indigenous Okanagan language; kiʔláwnaʔ, translating to a male grizzly bear; a hint towards the diverse wildlife that once dominated the region. Veins of indigenous heritage pulsate through the city, harmoniously merging with the roots of European settlers who arrived in the 19th century, cultivating a captivating confluence of cultures.

Once a cornerstone of agriculture and commercial horticulture, Kelowna has evolved into a vibrant metropolitan area, blending its heritage with modern aspirations. Traces of the city's expansion can be seen in the skyscraping edifice of One Water Street - a testament to the growth of Kelowna's cityscape. With an array of neighbourhoods, each exuding unique charm and character, Kelowna is a city of contrast, balancing the tranquillity of Okanagan Lake with the bustle of its shopping centres, recreational facilities, and vibrant downtown core.
