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.
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.
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 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!

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.
