Spend the holidays with your extended family!
Join our Fam-Jam and meet new Rebels as we celebrate the holidays together IN VICTORIA!
Hotel Zed knows that “home for the holidays” isn’t always in the cards for some folks. If, for whatever reason, you won’t or can’t travel to a family home this season, come to Hotel Zed Victoria for a festive rebel rendezvous!
We’re choosing to celebrate the holidays this year with our chosen family (and that includes you!) We’ve got a calendar of fun events and new traditions open to whoever may not get that experience elsewhere: holiday crafting, festive sing-a-longs, cookie decorating, festive feasts and even pancakes with Santa!
All rebels can experience this nostalgic Holiday Special!
Here’s the Must Know
for All Things Ho-Ho-Ho:
