Rebels Against the Ordinary
Welcome to Hotel Zed
Where boredom doesn’t stand a chance
Hotel Zed is more than a place to sleep. From retro rooms and suites to ping pong, disco and vintage treasures in every corner, we’ll keep you as busy as a ‘70s sofa pattern.
Business or pleasure, your hotel stay should be part of the adventure. If you agree, visit our totally unordinary hotels in Kelowna, Victoria and Tofino.
Celebrate Love, Diversity and Community
Join us this summer!
Pride is so much more than a flag at Hotel Zed. Although, we have those, too! At Hotel Zed, Pride is a daily celebration of diversity and inclusivity. This summer, we invite all rebels of the rainbow to celebrate Pride and join us for two amazing events in Tofino and Victoria in June and July. Come make some memories and keep the good times—and the Pride—flowing all summer long!
Have you heard?! Hotel Zed Victoria got a makeover!

All the comforts of home, if your home was weird.
We’ve all been there. You check into a hotel, get settled in your room, and come to a horrific conclusion: there’s nothing to do here!
Hotel Zed amenities turn your stay into play so you’ll never be bored during your trip.
Hidden 80s arcade
Our Tofino hotel has an extra special hidden gem—no, really. It’s actually a secret arcade room! You can ask, but we won’t tell you where it is. The hunt is part of the fun. When you do find it (we believe in you), you’ll be treated to all the old school arcade games you know and love—totally free.
Coffee Lux
At Hotel Zed, we want your in-room coffee experience to feel like a little luxury. We’ve collaborated with a local potter Daniela Petosa to create custom ceramic mugs in all of our hotel rooms. No wasteful paper cups here! if you wanna take that luxury home, the mugs are available for purchase.
Rainforest hot tub and barrel sauna
Nestled between the rainforest trees, this massive hot tub fits up to 15 people! When you’re done soaking, step inside the barrel sauna and gaze out the bubble glass window at the peaceful rainforest beyond.
Bike-friendly facilities
All of our locations are totally bike friendly. We’ve got lots of bike storage around the hotel, but you’re also welcome to bring your bike right into your room with you if that’ll help you sleep easier. Ask us about the best bike paths and routes nearby–our rebels have you covered!
Psychic’s Den
Given that retro is kind of our whole thing, we get that you probably think we’re obsessed with the past. But what if we told you our Tofino hotel offers you a chance to see the future? That’s right—the psychic’s den in our Tofino lobby is decked out with a crystal ball, Tarot cards, a mystical, starry ceiling and other mystical treasures. If you’re lucky, we might just have a legit psychic on-site during your visit.
Pool, Hot Tub and Sauna
Open year-round, at Victoria you can unwind with a soak in the hot tub, sweat it out in the sauna* or enjoy a splash around the pool—think of it as a choose-your-own-adventure, pool style. Open from 9am to 10pm.
Bird sanctuary
As you walk down the path towards the Tofino Inlet, don’t forget to look up—you’re in an actual bird sanctuary! Picture yourself on our deck, looking out on the water, with hundreds of migratory birds flying overhead. If you’re interested in connecting with nature, this is the place for you. There’s nowhere else quite like this in Tofino—or anywhere in the world!
All ages Rebel Playground
Hotel Zed is all about having fun, and we think rebels of all ages should have a chance on the playground! We’ve got a play ship and marine-themed spring riders for your little sailors, but we recommend adults take ‘em for a spin, too! Or, play a few rounds of shuffleboard or tetherball (remember that?) or bocci if you’re feeling more competitive! If you just need to chill, relax in our comfy deck seating complete with cozy firepits!

Pool, hot tub and sauna
