“Charm & GREAT food!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012

person found this review helpful

I have been going to the Eldorado for over 15 years so I guess you know what direction this review will go. The proof is in the return visits! The food is consistently delicious, the dining room staff attentive and bright, the dining room faces out to the lake and a little marina and a boardwalk. IT really is great to return to a hotel that is predictable.
There is great variety in the rooms with everything from old world charm and cozy rooms in the old section to lofty ceilings and space in the new section. I like all the rooms but be cautious about booking in the old section RIGHT above the pub during Christmas season or weekends or hockey game nights. Otherwise depending on your mood you can choose antique flavour or the new wing for a room! I like both sides. The newer side is a bit more expensive and the view rooms are more expensive but if you want something special you may like that.
I am sick and tired of the generic sterilized box-hotels so I love staying at the Eldorado ... for the difference, for the funky charm, the personality of the hotel and the personalities it entertains!, plus the great food and wonderful staff.

Room Tip: Inspiring views if you pay more in both old and new sides. Try NOT to get the room right above the...

“Quirky but loved our room”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2011

Complex layout due to the old / newer segments of this historic hotel. Had asked for a view room with two beds and they offered a "not lakefront but view room." It overlooked the roof of the old hotel which gave us a great view of the lake and the low hills on the eastern side of the city. The sunset was lovely, the sunrise was amazing. Most two-bedded rooms have side-by-side beds but this room had a bed at each end of the room.
Toilet - with some sort of water saving device didn't work at all well. Staff tried to fix it at 11:30 at night but I could tell he'd never seen the back of this toilet before. He offered to move us to a different room but by then my Mom was asleep in bed and I wasn't going to start moving us at that hour. By breakfast time there was water (clean water) all over the floor. Everything else worked and the quality of the room was good. Clean and except for the toilet, well maintained.

Didn't like the restaurant for breakfast (good service but the strangest pancakes - rubbery and flavourless) and wouldn't try it again but it is a pretty setting.

Room Tip: Ask for the partial view facing south - there could be other good rooms but this was a delight.

“Absolutely marvelous!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2011

I've stayed at many hotels in Kelowna, but this was my first experience at the Hotel Eldorado. We needed to be close to the hospital for several days, and something about this hotel's online presentation made it seem less impersonal than many. I booked two rooms and can say it was the perfect choice. Although we changed details of the reservation several times, and had to return unexpectedly for another night on the day we initially checked out, the staff was pleasant, patient, and accommodating. Rooms in the "Arms" may be the most quiet I have ever encountered in a hotel--ever--anywhere. The decor and finishings were upscale, but with traditional flavour and unique touches throughout. Various extras like turndown service, easy parking, and wireless internet were free. The restaurant was excellent. Housekeeping and maintenance staff seemed genuinely cheerful--not just strictly programmed. We've been telling everyone we know about this warm, wonderful gem!

“Beautiful rooms, classic lakeside charm.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2011

Stayed in room 212 which was quite large and had a lovely patio with a view of the mountain. Bathroom was spotless and had a quaint clawfoot tub and windows for lots of light (yes, there are window coverings...). Hotel is located right on the lake with options for watersports (jetski and boat rentals). Pool and hottub were enjoyable as well. Beer and wine store located right in the hotel. Staff was pleasant. Would absolutely stay here again!

Room Tip: Booked through Expedia mobile app.

“we go again and again”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2011

person found this review helpful

My husband and I were married almost 6 yrs ago, and we slept the night here after our wedding reception before we took off on our honeymoon. Since then we have treated ourselves to wknd staycations (we are residents in kelowna) very often, for birthdays and valentine's day. We booked a suite in the newer part of the hotel with a beautiful view of the lake and the surrounding mountains. We always request the same suite for sentimental reasons. Our suite was well equipped, not that we ever dined in our room as one of the towns best restaurants is just on the lobby level. The women at the reception/checkin desk can be kind of loopy so make sure to double check that all charges to your room are actually yours, because this has happened to us on more than one occasion. We never wanted to make a big stink about it but is kind of ongoing. Generally the hotel is in good condition and I would heavily recommend that anyone visiting to kelowna stay here. Food, wine, atmosphere, quick walk to beach access and views of the lake are awesome, boat rentals are available right off the dock, and patio dining here delightful!
