If you love bold colours, playful vibes, and zero pretension, Hotel Zed Victoria is your kind of place. This isn’t your typical hotel — it’s a full-on throwback experience designed for fun, creativity, and connection. Think retro flair meets modern comfort with all the quirks you didn’t know you needed.

Hotel Zed feels like stepping into a 1970s postcard — rotary phones, typewriters in the lobby, record players in every room, and a color palette that makes you smile the moment you walk in. Kids can ride their bikes in the lobby and hallways.

Hotel Zed is proudly locally owned, and their motto says it all: “Rebels against the ordinary.”
They’ve transformed the standard hotel stay into something alive — vibrant, community-driven, and unapologetically fun.

Rooms range from:

• Cozy queen or king setups for couples or solo travelers

• Family rooms with bunk beds for the adventurous crew

• Pet-friendly rooms (yes, your dog gets the VIP treatment too)

• A romance room for connecting.
  

You’ll find vintage-style furniture, modern touches like smart TVs and Wi-Fi, and playful surprises like comic books, disco balls, and bright murals throughout the property.

What to Do at Hotel Zed Victoria

• Grab a free bike or skateboard – cruise the nearby Galloping Goose Trail, a gorgeous path connecting to downtown and beyond.

• Hang in the lobby – play ping-pong, listen to vinyl, or type a note on the vintage typewriter.

• Zedinator Waterslide & Pool – because grown-ups need playtime too.

• Coffee at The Ruby Café – hands-down one of the best breakfast spots in Victoria (try the smoked salmon benny!).
  

Hotel Zed Victoria brings out your inner kid — it’s for travelers who want to laugh, connect, and not take themselves too seriously.
After a day exploring museums or walking the Inner Harbour, coming “home” to a place full of color and character just feels right.

It’s affordable, local, and full of heart — everything I love about island travel.
