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.

Book today to experience this totally unordinary hotel!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
Mini Disco
When you stay at Hotel Zed Tofino, every day’s a dance party. Our mini disco has all the tricks: a glittery sequin wall, a whole bunch of dreamy, mirrored disco balls, wicked lighting and a light-up dance floor that just begs you to boogie. Use our tunes or play DJ yourself!
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!
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?
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.
Inlet access
The Tofino Inlet is the best kept secret of this West Coast community, and Hotel Zed Tofino has private access to it! Guests can enjoy this secluded natural wonder on our property just steps from your guest room. Simply wander down our short rainforest path and you’ll emerge at the waterfront. There’s not a better place in the world to have your morning coffee.
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.
When it’s Coffee Time
At Hotel Zed, we know that coffee is an important part of the travel experience. And we want that experience to feel as comfortable as possible, so we’re proud to offer ceramic mugs in every room. There are no wasteful, disposable cups in our rooms!
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!
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.
Stillwater Nature Spa
From May-October, enjoy a relaxing holistic massage at our on-site spa, nestled in the bird sanctuary just steps outside the hotel. Check out Stillwater’s Website!
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.
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.
The Backyard
Your home away from home should have a backyard away from backyard! We’ve got just the place behind Hotel Zed Victoria, perfect for morning yoga, some afternoon lawn games, or a couple of cold ones by our fire pit!
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!
Custom-made driftwood VW bus
You read that right. We have a totally interactive replica of a vintage VW bus at our Tofino hotel! When we say “totally interactive,” we mean totally interactive. Everything from the pedals to the door handles to the dash was crafted by local artist Alex Witcombe of Drifted Creations to be super realistic. Have you ever wondered what a to-scale engine would look like if it were made out of driftwood? No?! Well maybe you’re curious now that we mention it…so you should come check it out! This is one of our most popular photo ops for children, pets, families and full-grown adults.
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!
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.
The Ruby
Breakfast? Lunch? Brunch? Whatever you call that morning meal, you can have your fill at The Ruby, our on-site diner.
Zedinator waterslide
Take a rip down Hotel Zed Victoria’s own Zedinator water slide, open year round in our pool area. Hop into the tunnel and, after a few twists and turns, you’ll be shot out onto a hot pink landing tray! Fun for rebels of all ages!
Rooftop patios
During the warmer months, you can 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.
