Incredible experience from start to finish, with the most amazing views!…read moreWe had hosted a cocktail social event and I couldn't be more impressed with the service. The staff was incredibly accommodating and attentive, ensuring that everything went smoothly from the planning to the evening of. The food and beverages were delicious and the atmosphere was perfect! I highly recommend the Perch Sky Lounge for any event or dining experience.

This was our wedding reception venue and we absolutely loved it, the space is beautiful with the…read moreexposed brick and wooden beams. The space is naturally really nice so you can do whatever you want with decor, or don't do anything at all. They have preferred vendors you can work with or you can bring in your own. They didn't have any minimums and their rental rate was very reasonable compared to other places I looked at. Everyone complimented the venue and we were really happy with our choice. They were also really easy to deal with and accommodating of any questions we had, they helped make everything run really smoothly. Also it's a historic venue which is really cool!

Enjoyed a lovely lunch here after a wine tasting overlooking the vineyard. The service was decent…read morebut not exceptional the wine, a pinot and a meritage lovely and the food delicious. My wife and I shared a charcuterie plate which was comprised of two different salamis, prosciutto, a goat and blue cheese some pickled carrots and onions, olives and a delightful mango chutney. We also shared a chicken pate which was accompanied by a lovely jelly and mustard. Both dishes were accompanied by some lovely baguette slices. We finished the meal with a delightful chocolate cake, more like a torte, with cherries and Chantilly cream. All the food was delightful but priced on the high side for the quantity provided. However, overall a lovely experience.

Visiting Kelowna, and I found Black Swift winery since they stay open until 6pm (other nearby…read morewineries closed at 5pm). What a gem!! $15 tastings, and Riley was a pleasure, he explained all the wines to me, great experience.

Our first winery stop of the afternoon was at Black Swift Vineyards. They're run by the same…read moregroup/owner (The Hatch, Crown & Thieves and Truck 59 Ciderhouse). We dropped in on a Thursday afternoon (around 4:15pm). There's the option to either sit/stand inside or else there's roughly a dozen outdoor picnic tables. We opted for the latter. Nice touch that there's umbrellas for all the tables out in the sun. Tasting fee is $15.00/person but is waived with a bottle purchase. Tasting includes 5 samples but our friendly hostess threw in an extra pour. - 2018 Long road riesling - found this light. Supposed to taste lychee notes but didn't detect any of that. - 2019 Black Swift pinot blanc - a little more full bodied. Tasted like a Granny Smith apple. - 2020 Frenzy rosé - not too sweet. Tastes like strawberry rhubarb and smelled reminiscent of Swedish berries. - 2017 Monarch cab-merlot - this one is aged in oak barrels. Notes of raspberry, smoke and ash at the end. - 2017 Syrah - this one was B's favourite. Good mouth feel, fruity and very smooth. More complex than the 2018. We bought a bottle ($29.99) for home. - 2018 Syrah - tasted a little more fruitier on the palate. Good variety/selection of wines, beautiful scenery and friendly staff. Would come back to BSV.

To be totally fair, we had never heard of the Royal Anne prior to having the need to spend a couple…read moreof nights in downtown Kelowna. The lovely K's usual haunts had not a room available, enter a hidden gem in the downtown of Kelowna. Please don't tell anyone but your closest friends. The area is filled with restaurants, pubs, coffee houses and is a couple minutes walk to the lakefront. The hotel itself has a colourful history and great B&W photo's throughout the hotels public spaces to fill you in. They did a wonderful job of allowing us to kinda check in early and then called us when our room was ready. The rooms were nicely appointed in our double Queen with a good amount of room. The bathroom is a little snug, given the door brushes the front of the toilet. The bathroom is a one person at a time deal unless you're fine with close proximity bathroom habits. The bed was comfy, which is always a big thing for us. The breakfast covers all the bases, and although not memorable, offers a good variety to satisfy most seekers of the most important meal of the day. Location, comfort, nostalgia, parking, walk ability and you have us interested. Add great staff and you have a gem overlooked. Don't tell anyone though please.

I highly recommend this place for a stay in downtown Kelowna. It is centrally located for many…read moreactivities: easy to get to West Kelowna with a car to head south for wineries, two minutes from the waterfront and one of the most beautiful walks, and so many delicious restaurants right out front on Bernard. As for the hotel itself, it was clean, our room was spacious, and we never waited for an elevator. Regarding staff, I forgot clothes in a drawer in the room. Sierra was more than accomodating by holding the lost items in their lost&found and doing the extra work to parcel them up and send them to me. That should tell you all you need to know about the good people running the hotel.
