Best Western Penticton
Originally inhabited by the Salish people, Penticton translates to “a place to live forever”. Today thousands continue to take this sentiment to heart, making Penticton one of the fastest growing communities in the B.C. Interior. The fact that the city offers dual lakefronts—Lake Okanagan is found on the city's northend while Lake Skaha borders its south—doesn't hurt either. A prominent city in sunny southern Okanagan, Penticton is almost exactly half-way between Kelowna to the north and Osoyoos to the south. While in town, visit the S.S. Sicamous, the last operating stern-wheel steamer and the Art Gallery of the South Okanagan, with an impressive collection of local and national art. Each August the beach comes alive for Peachfest, which features live music, two parades and a festive crowd.
