Where Wellness Meets the Okanagan
Balcomo – Penticton's #1 Hotel
Voted #1 of 44 hotels in Penticton on TripAdvisor. Come for the Okanagan. Stay for the sauna, cold plunge, and courtyard fire pits.
Tucked beside the Penticton Golf & Country Club and minutes from Okanagan Lake, we've spent over three decades turning ordinary Okanagan trips into the kind of stays guests talk about for years.
What makes us different? Our Wellness Centre — the only one of its kind at a Penticton hotel. Cold plunge. Cedar sauna. Hot tub. Salt room. Meditation and yoga space. It's not just a place to sleep off a wine tour. It's a place to actually reset.
Add a sun-soaked 2 acre courtyard, seasonal pool, fire pits, an on-site craft pub, and rooms that consistently leave guests speechless — and you'll understand why so many guests say: "I wasn't expecting this."
The Balcomo is Penticton's most-loved hotel

Thanks to our guests for making us #1 Hotel in Penticton
This was an unexpected surprise. We were expecting a typical hotel experience, but this was more like a 5 star resort stay. Great customer service, beautiful garden spaces and all staff, including the on-site pub servers, were so welcoming and friendly.

Beautiful new rooms, restful grassy courtyard setting. Good value and excellent location. It was perfect for our group event touring Wine Country. We recommend this place to everyone staying in the Okanagan.
