the story
About Prestige Vernon Hotel
Prestige Vernon Hotel is a full-service, family-owned hotel located across from Vernon Square Shopping Centre in the North Okanagan, part of the 19-property Prestige Hotels & Resorts collection. Alongside its guest rooms and on-site restaurant, the hotel operates a convention centre that hosts business meetings, seminars, banquets, celebrations and weddings, with a dedicated Catering and Events Coordinator on staff.
The event facilities centre on the Grand Ballroom, which seats 250 for a banquet and holds up to 270 for a reception, and is complemented by the Vernon, O'Keefe, Ellison, Aberdeen and Okanagan Salons plus a Boardroom. Together these rooms accommodate functions ranging from 10 to 270 people. Audio/visual equipment and business centre services are available, and the hotel's conference coordinator and chefs assist with site selection, menu planning and decorating. Past clients have praised the food, the sound, the attentive staff and the flexibility of being able to finish cleanup the following morning.
Guests can stay on site in a wide range of accommodations, from standard king and queen rooms to upgraded rooms with balconies or kitchenettes, multi-level loft rooms, and suites and designer rooms — including a Designer King Room with a jetted tub, Executive and Junior Executive Suites with full kitchens, and the King and Africa Designer Lofts. Hotel amenities include an indoor pool and hot tub, fitness centre, arcade and games room, complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, EV charging stations, guest laundry, secure bike and ski storage, and outdoor patio space. The hotel is dog friendly, with a limited number of pet-friendly rooms and a $30 per day pet fee.
Bourbon Street Bar and Grill, the hotel's on-site restaurant, serves Okanagan casual dining with a Creole twist, and the hotel maintains relationships with local wine tour operators and golf partners — useful extras for guests extending a wedding weekend in the Vernon area, which sits near three lakes, extensive trail networks, golf courses and Silver Star Mountain Resort.
