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.
Join us for a summer of Pride!
Celebrate Tofino and Victoria Pride with Hotel Zed!
Join us June 13th and 14th for Tofino Pride at Hotel Zed, a weekend of free, all‑ages events that celebrate 2SLGBTQIA+ pride, inclusivity, and self-expression! Then, keep the celebration going by walking with our Rebels in the Victoria Pride Parade on Sunday, July 12th!
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.
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!
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. The seasonal pool (yes, it’s open for the summer!), hot tub and sauna are open from 9am to 10pm every day!
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?
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!
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.
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 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!
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.
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!
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! Open from 9am to 8pm.
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.
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!
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.

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!
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).
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!
