Penticton’s Swankiest New Digs

The new West Wing at the Penticton Lakeside Resort is bittersweet for us here at WL. On the one hand, the beautifully modern rooms are exactly the upscale accommodation that Naramata, Pentiction and Okanagan Falls have desperately been needing for the past few years. But it also marks one of the final projects of architect Nick Bevanda, who won our Designer of the Year Award back in 2013 and who passed away last year. Bevanda also designed Terravista Vineyards, the Black Hills tasting room and Road 13, among others, and it’s fair to say that his architectural legacy will loom large in the Okanagan for generations. pentictonlakesideresort.com
