Now, if Hotel Zed Victoria is playful and nostalgic, Hotel Zed Tofino is that same spirit, but with salt air, surfboards, and west coast soul.

Tucked between the rainforest and the beach, this stay captures everything that makes Tofino magic: misty mornings, bonfires, tide pools, and that “just breathe” kind of calm.

This is where surf culture meets sustainability and style. From the moment you pull into the forest drive lined with colorful retro bikes, you know it’s not your average hotel — it’s a community.

About the Stay

Hotel Zed Tofino celebrates all things local, natural, and delightfully weird. Every detail — from the neon signs to the record player in your room — is designed to make you feel alive, creative, and connected.

Rooms include:

  • Comfy queen or king beds with retro decor

  • Record players, vintage rotary phones, and vibrant color pops

  • Big windows that open to the rainforest air

  • Pet-friendly and family options available

It’s a blend of 70s charm, Tofino artistry, and modern eco-conscious design — the kind of place that makes you smile every time you notice another detail.

Things to Do at Hotel Zed Tofino

  • Walk to Chesterman Beach – just minutes away, one of the most beautiful surf beaches in the world.

  • Chill in the lobby – complete with a hidden retro arcade, a mini library, and a record player corner.

  • Sauna + Hot Tub – surrounded by cedar forest and sea air.

  • Rainforest Boardwalk – right on the property, perfect for morning coffee strolls.

  • Roar Restaurant – a must-visit on-site eatery where chefs cook with open flame; the food, the cocktails, and the energy are all unforgettable.

Community + Sustainability

Hotel Zed Tofino is proudly Indigenous-owned in partnership with the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation. It was designed to honor and protect the land — featuring sustainable architecture, eco-practices, and authentic collaboration with the local community.

This is more than a hotel — it’s a movement in mindful tourism.

Hotel Zed Tofino feels like the west coast’s heartbeat — where adventure and rest meet under the same sky. It’s funky, creative, and full of life, but it also has these moments of stillness — like sitting by the fire after surfing or listening to rain on the roof.

It’s for those of us who crave connection, community, and a reminder that joy is found in the simple things — like salt air, vinyl crackle, and good company.
