Centralize Your Stay

Location, location, location. When planning your meeting or event in Kelowna, there are a number of exceptional venues that each offer something unique for your guests, including easy access to local amenities.

Located in the heart of the city on Harvey Avenue, the Kelowna Ramada Hotel & Conference Centre is a one-stop-shop for your guests. With nearly 7,000 square feet of event space, there is plenty of room for your meetings and break-out sessions onsite. Conveniently located across the street from Orchard Park Mall and just 15 minutes from the Kelowna International Airport, 50 minutes from Big White Ski Resort and 10 minutes to downtown, the Ramada also features bus parking to make it easy for group transport to and from the hotel.

Just a few minutes down the road, the Coast Capri Hotel also offers a central location for your guests to make the most of their time in Kelowna. Located beside the Capri Centre Mall, the newly renovated hotel features 16,600 square feet of conference space including 14 meeting rooms. With complimentary parking for all vehicles (buses included), they make it easy to come and go as you please. The hotel also features an award-winning restaurant, onsite spa, and seasonal outdoor swimming pool. For guests wishing to explore some of Kelowna’s hidden gems, a 15-minute walk (or 6-minute drive or cab ride) will take you to the bustling Landmark District featuring fabulous local restaurants, cafés, shops and more.

If delegates prefer the freedom of having their own vehicle, Budget Car & Truck Rental has locations at the Kelowna International Airport and on Highway 97 & Leathead Road. Canada’s number one car & truck rental company, their fleet includes cars, trucks, minivans and luxury cars so you can tailor your vehicle to your experience. Heading to Big White, one of their 4x4 trucks will do the trick. Winery visits? Perhaps a luxury car or SUV is in your future – just make sure the trunk has room for a case (or two).

For short distances around town, guests can also ride in style with Current Taxi. Boasting an all-electric Tesla fleet, this will be like no other taxi ride you have experienced – all for the same price as a traditional taxi. Not only will you be riding in comfort, but also feel good knowing that you’re making the sustainable choice. Insider tip, ask your driver to share the C02 emission savings from your trip and check out their website to see their total emissions saved.
