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!

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!
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.
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.
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.
Swell Paddle + Surf
Equipped with a wealth of local knowledge, the experts at Swell can set you up with bike, paddleboard and surf rentals, lessons and more. Grab a paddleboard and walk right down to our private inlet access or take your surfboard for a seven minute walk to world-famous Chesterman’s Beach. Check out Swell’s Website
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!
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).
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!
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
