Hotel Zed Tofino

Retro Vibes, Rainforest Views, and Rhino Coffee

Nestled between rainforest and the inlet, Hotel Zed Tofino is a love letter to the ‘70s bold colours, groovy design, and good vibes all around. Whether you’re staying for surf sessions or sunset bike rides, there’s one essential stop to complete your morning ritual: Rhino Coffee House.

Because no Tofino day or disco nap starts without a great coffee.

The Story

Hotel Zed isn’t your typical hotel. Think funky retro décor, a secret arcade, and boardwalks winding through lush forest. It’s equal parts playful and peaceful and just a five-minute drive from downtown Tofino (and Rhino’s front door).

Grab a coffee on your way to Cox Bay for an early surf, or cruise back into town for breakfast after exploring the Inlet Trail. Either way, the combo of Zed’s laid-back charm and Rhino’s warm brew is pure Tofino magic.
