Construction has begun on the Sutton Place Hotel Kelowna and a 1,000 stall parkade at Kelowna International Airport (YLW).
The Sutton Place Hotel Kelowna represents a private investment of $100 million. The Sutton Place Hotels are a luxury Canadian brand hotel chain, owned and operated by B.C.-based Northland Properties. The six-storey, 245-room hotel will feature amenities such as business conference facilities, an indoor leisure and fitness centre, full-service valet, and concierge services. Additionally, the hotel will feature an onsite full-service restaurant, along with a viewing lounge that provides stunning views of the surrounding area.
“The new five-star Sutton Place Hotel and 1,000-stall parkade represent a major milestone in the continued growth of YLW,” said Mayor Tom Dyas. “This investment by Northland Properties, alongside the expansion of the new terminal building, is a clear sign that more people are choosing to visit Kelowna, exploring our world-class wineries, beaches, and parks, while supporting local businesses and fuelling our regional economy.”
In conjunction with the hotel, a $55 million 1,000 stall parkade is being constructed. This parkade will increase parking capacity at YLW and provide passengers with the option of covered parking spots. The 1,000-stall facility will offer convenience and comfort to travellers, ensuring a seamless experience from the moment they arrive at the airport.
These developments mark a significant milestone in the growth and modernization of YLW reinforcing its commitment to providing top-tier services and facilities to its passengers and the local community.
“This groundbreaking marks an important step in our commitment to enhancing the travel experience for our passengers,” Sam Samaddar, CEO of YLW. “Once complete, the Sutton Place Hotel and parkade at YLW will provide Okanagan residents and visitors alike with improved choice, convenience, and comfort when travelling through YLW.”
The parkade is expected to be completed in 2027, and the Sutton Place Hotel Kelowna in 2028.
