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!
Check out our swanky new vibe.
OMG, we’re ten years old this year! Our baby is growing up, so we’ve gone all out with a major glow-up. Get ready for the ultimate radical renovation as we revive the 1970s and transform Hotel Zed Victoria into an unbeatable retro-themed hotel experience unlike any other in the world.

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.
The World’s First Bike Through Lobby
Want to cruise Tofino on two wheels? Bike through the lobby on a bike path that goes right through the lobby. Need a bike? Visit Swell Tofino right outside our lobby!
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.
Pet-friendly rooms
Looking for a pet-friendly hotel in Victoria, Kelowna or Tofino? We might just be the most pet-friendly hotel you’ll ever find. Seriously. Dogs, cats and other furry or feathered friends are all welcome, with no limit on how many you can bring with you. Plus, we donate $1 from every pet fee to the BC Humane Society!
Rec Room
Our Rec Room is a time machine straight to all of the best parties of the 1970’s! This rentable meeting space is no stuffy boardroom! There are five tables, 2 60″ frame TVs, full AV functionality, sound system, record player, working bar area and food service capabilities… and countless lava lamps.
The Lobby
More than a place to pass through, each Hotel Zed lobby is designed for you to hang out in. You’ll find tons of unordinary treasures including board games, retro knick knacks, typewriters, the Zed Official Store, and more. You’ll feel like you’ve gone back in time, but got to bring all of your modern comforts with you!
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!
Retro Spaces for Work and Play
We take our retro aesthetic beyond the bright colours and funky fonts—it’s a whole vibe. Our lobbies are retro-chic sanctuaries, with lots of nooks and hideouts so you can set up your laptop or just hang out. Our guest rooms have legit rotary phones, retro alarm clocks, upcycled furniture and more! Every Hotel Zed is curated with so much detail you’ll feel like you’ve travelled back in time (no DeLorean necessary).
Work or play in the Four Suits Entertainment Room
We have a custom game table with free cards and gaming chips. Go fish anyone? Not a gamer? Work in style and use this as your private office! Did we mention free wi-fi?
Free bikes, including kid’s and tandem bikes, roller skates and longboard rentals
Getting around should be part of the fun when you’re on a Zed-cation! We have all sorts of unordinary transportation rentals to help you see the sights in style. Oh, and did we mention they’re FREE? Groovy.
Rooftop patios
Enjoy the sunshine up in the sky with our Kelowna hotel’s three rooftop patios, with firepits, awesome views, and a really funky BBQ grill and chill station. Our rooftop patios are officially open for the season!
Relax In The Sunken Living Room
Kick back in our Sunken Living Room with teardrop fireplaces, comfy couches, and good company. Sip on a beverage from ROAR or ROAR Coffee & Shop, and relax!
ROAR Live Fire Restaurant and Bar
It’s the waves crashing and raging flames. It’s the roar of a rebellious nature. Escape to Hotel Zed’s very own ROAR, where we cook with live fire and quality, local ingredients are at the center of everything we do.
Funky surfboard outdoor showers
Rinse off after a day on the beach or the water with our outdoor warm water surfboard showers. These things are a sight to behold—hopefully you’ve got a waterproof camera on hand!
The Lobby
More than a place to pass through, each Hotel Zed lobby is designed for you to hang out in. You’ll find tons of unordinary treasures including board games, retro knick knacks, typewriters, the Zed Official Store, and more.

Hotel Zed Colouring Sheets
We’ve taken the designs from our new staff uniform t-shirts into funky, downloadable colouring sheets. Print off and enjoy!
Pool, hot tub and sauna
In Kelowna, you can unwind with a soak in the hot tub, sweat it out in the sauna or enjoy a splash around the seasonal pool—think of it as a choose-your-own-adventure, pool style. While the pool is currently closed for the winter, the hot tub and sauna are 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!
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.
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.
Grandma’s Basement
Have some time to kill? Head downstairs and hang out in Grandma’s Basement. This groovy lounge feels like it was plucked right out of the 70’s, and is inspired by our CEO Mandy Farmer’s Grandma’s basement in real life. Complete with a pool table, TVs, comfy retro seating and a bar (refreshments not included 😉), Grandma’s Basement is the perfect place to relax, take a zoom call or let the kids play!
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.
The Ruby
Breakfast? Lunch? Brunch? Whatever you call that morning meal, you can have your fill at The Ruby, our on-site diner.
The Ping Pong Lounge
The Ping Pong lounge at our Kelowna hotel offers you everything you need to start playing: throwback video games, more board games that you’ll know what to do with, comfy reading nooks and of course, ping pong tables. Game on, Rebels!
