Delta Hotels by Marriott Grand Okanagan Resort
The premier resort hotel on the shores of Okanagan Lake in Kelowna, the Grand Okanagan features private beach access, a marina, multiple pools, a spa, and easy access to the city's wine country. The resort's restaurants showcase Okanagan ingredients and wines. A favourite for wine country getaways, weddings, and corporate retreats.
The Delta Hotels by Marriott Grand Okanagan Resort occupies a prime waterfront position at 1310 Water Street in downtown Kelowna, British Columbia, on the eastern shore of Okanagan Lake in the heart of Canada's premier wine country. The resort's private sandy beach, full marina, and extensive outdoor amenities establish it as the leading full-service lakefront resort in the Okanagan Valley, drawing wine tourism guests, families on summer holidays, corporate retreat groups, and destination wedding parties throughout the year.
Accommodation ranges from standard hotel rooms to multi-bedroom suites and condominium-style units with full kitchens and private lake-view balconies, making the property practical for extended stays, families, and groups requiring more than conventional hotel room space. The resort's outdoor pool area overlooks Okanagan Lake directly, and an indoor pool provides year-round swimming regardless of season. Marina facilities allow guests to dock private watercraft or rent kayaks, paddleboards, and pedal boats for exploring the lake's calm summer waters.
The resort's food and beverage outlets emphasise Okanagan ingredients and estate wines, with the waterfront dining room a popular destination for sunset dinners featuring views across the lake to the Okanagan Highlands. The property hosts major regional events including the Okanagan Wine Festivals in spring and autumn, business conferences, and summer outdoor events supported by the resort's event spaces and terraces.
Kelowna's downtown core is within easy walking distance along the lakefront promenade, with independent restaurants, craft breweries, and boutique shops clustered along Bernard Avenue. The Okanagan wine route extends north and south along both sides of the lake; the concierge team can arrange guided winery tours, helicopter tours over the vineyards and lake, and golf at nearby championship courses including the Harvest Golf Club and the Okanagan Golf Club. Kelowna International Airport (YLW) is approximately 15 minutes by taxi from the resort.
