Kelowna Hotels with a Hot Tub or Sauna

Kelowna Discovery suits larger families: the aparthotel has three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a living room and a fully equipped kitchen, with a balcony and air-conditioning. Children have a rooftop pool and an indoor pool, while the sauna and hot tub are for adults. Tugboat Bay is a 4-minute walk and Lake Okanagan about 600 metres away, so beach days need little planning. Guests give it 9.8, on nine reviews so far.

The Royal Anne Hotel is a three-star downtown Kelowna address, and I would recommend it to families who like to walk. City Park is a ten-minute walk away and the Lake City Casino two blocks, so the area suits adults too. A complimentary continental breakfast and free WiFi take care of the morning, there is a small fitness centre with a sauna, and the Irish pub on site covers an easy dinner. Do not expect a pool.

An indoor swimming pool and a hot tub give children something to do whatever the weather at this La Quinta, and a fitness centre covers the parents. Family rooms are air-conditioned with a private bathroom, free Wi-Fi and free private parking. Pets are welcome. The hotel is 7 km from Kelowna International Airport, so it works for arrival days, with the Okanagan Valley a drive away.

Hyatt Place Kelowna sits in Kelowna city centre, so families can walk to the shops, restaurants and the Okanagan Lake waterfront without moving the car. The indoor pool and hot tub are the evening routine children look forward to, and air-conditioned rooms help in the Okanagan summer heat. The American restaurant serves meals on site when nobody wants to go out again, and pets are welcome. A guest score of 8.6 from 856 reviews points to consistently good stays.

Comfort Suites Kelowna has an indoor pool with a waterslide, which settles most debates with children on a rainy afternoon, plus a hot tub for parents. Every room has a microwave and a refrigerator, handy for snacks and simple meals, and breakfast is provided daily. Gyro Beach Park on Okanagan Lake is 8 km away for summer swimming, and Big White Ski Resort is an hour's drive in winter. Rated 8.6 across 728 reviews, I would book it for a family trip in any season.

Siesta Suites is an all-suite hotel in Kelowna's Okanagan Mission neighbourhood, so families get more room than a standard hotel room. Children have an indoor pool all year and a seasonal outdoor pool in summer, plus a hot tub. Picnic areas with gas barbecue grills make outdoor dinners easy, and beaches, biking trails and Mission Park Shopping Centre are within walking distance. A guest score of 8.6 from 807 reviews is a strong sign.

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Kelowna East sits off Highway 97, about 6 km from Kelowna city centre and Okanagan Lake. Families get an indoor pool and hot tub for the evenings, a free hot breakfast before heading out, and free Wi-Fi. Pets are accepted, which helps on an Okanagan road trip. The 8.5 score from 548 reviews is reassuring. I would book it as a car-based family base rather than a lakeside stay.

Park Inn by Radisson Kelowna, 7 km from Kelowna International Airport, gives families a lot under one roof: an indoor pool, a games room for rainy afternoons, a fitness room and a restaurant and bar on site. Rooms are family-friendly and air-conditioned, with free Wi-Fi, and pets are welcome. It makes a convenient base for day trips around the Okanagan Valley. With an 8.2 score from 452 reviews, I would book it for a family road trip.

Recreation Inn and Suites is a family-owned hotel in Kelowna, and its suites with full kitchens are the main reason families book it. Cooking breakfast and dinner in the room makes a week by Okanagan Lake far easier, and standard rooms still have a microwave and mini-fridge. The seasonal covered barbecue area adds outdoor meals in summer, and rooms are air-conditioned. Pets are welcome. A score of 8.0 from 1,033 reviews points to a reliable, well-run stay.

Prestige Beach House sits across from Hot Sands Beach, so summer days on Okanagan Lake start with a short walk. Families also get free use of sporting equipment and board games, an indoor pool and a hot tub for cooler evenings, and on-site dining. Rooms have balconies, and pets are accepted. I would book it for families who want the beach close by and some easy entertainment included, while keeping expectations in line with its 7.8 rating.

Ramada by Wyndham Kelowna Hotel & Conference Center is a three-star hotel with an indoor swimming pool, and I would recommend it to families who drive and want free on-site parking. Rooms are spacious and air-conditioned with private bathrooms. The hot tub and fitness center add to the pool, and an on-site restaurant covers dinner. It also has meeting rooms, so it serves business guests as well as leisure stays.

Water is the draw for families at this Kelowna Best Western: an indoor heated mineral pool for children and two outdoor hot tubs for parents, both usable year-round in the Okanagan. The full-service spa gives adults a treat while the kids swim. The on-site restaurant saves a drive at dinner, and Kelowna International Airport is about 10 minutes away, which helps on arrival day. Only some rooms have a small fridge, so request one when booking if you need it.

Days Inn by Wyndham Kelowna is a three-star hotel minutes from outdoor activities, and I would recommend it to families who come for the summer. The seasonal outdoor heated pool and the outdoor whirlpool tub are the draw, a complimentary continental breakfast is served daily, and rooms have a mini-fridge, coffee maker and flat-screen TV. Pets are welcome and on-site laundry helps on longer trips. The pool is seasonal, so check dates.

Super 8 by Wyndham Kelowna offers family rooms with mountain views, air-conditioning and private bathrooms, which covers the basics for an Okanagan trip. A daily continental breakfast, free Wi-Fi and free private parking keep costs and logistics simple. There is a hot tub, a lounge and an outdoor seating area, but no pool is listed. The 7.0 score from 489 reviews is middling, so I would book it as a simple base for days out.
