Hotel Zeds are ridiculously fun, unpretentious hotels that have a whole new take on staying in, or working for a hotel. We have completely unordinary amenities like rotary dial phones in every room, record players in the lobby, plus a bunch of other cool stuff. Our hotels ooze with a 70’s retro, kick ass vibe that’s totally inclusive and down-to-earth. Fun, playful and approachable, that’s who we are.
I love working at Hotel Zed because I feel empowered and encouraged to be myself every single day. The first few days of my journey working for this company felt like I was shedding tons of dead weight from being a cog in the hospitality machine, at times losing my identity by putting on a facade and just going through the motions of the daily grind. Here, I feel accepted and valued for being myself and “being real” while being mindful with my colleagues and guests.

Working for Hotel Zed has been my best work experience in the hospitality industry. For the first time in my career, I don’t feel like I am working while I am doing my job. The staff is provided with a lot of trust from the management team and it is a great feeling to work for a company that puts the employees first.

I like the Pickle Program very much, I’m currently working on enacting a Pickler of the month and year version for the staff based on how many the get and received. I find it’s a great way to show appreciation for each other, and get rewarded while doing it.

When I transitioned from Accent Inns Kelowna to Hotel Zed Kelowna, I was nervous about the change, but was soon relieved as the team from Hotel Zed accepted me right away as family. There was really no surprise here as that is who we are!

I love doing morning yoga with the team as we stretch at the start of our housekeeping day – super fun and different from anywhere I’ve worked before. I love being so close to the ocean and nature as this is a special serene location. I work with an amazing team and the leadership is super nice and supportive.

After many years of being a stay-at-home Mom, I was nervous to re-enter the workforce, however, I was warmly welcomed at Hotel Zed Victoria. It was fun, friendly and flexible, allowing me to create a perfect balance between work and home. Through teamwork and dedication, I have made some of my very best friends and can’t imagine working anywhere else.

I work front desk at Hotel Zed Victoria and I’ve been here for about two years while attending college. I’ve had a wonderful experience growing myself here professionally and personally, while working on my academic pursuits. Everyone here has been super supportive with my personal growth since I’ve started working at Zed and can’t imagine working anywhere else, because the people really make our hotel a special place.

Hotel Zed is a great place to work, and they have all sorts of great opportunities. The work is varied, and I was even given the opportunity to work at one of the other hotels when they were in a pinch. There’s a great feeling of team spirit. I love the amazing staff meals prepared by ROAR and best of all, on days when I can finish early, I can go surfing right across the road at Chesterman Beach.

I love working at Hotel Zed because of what it stands for. I want to represent a company that reflects on my beliefs and values as a person, and this is by far the most inclusive, positive and humble place I have been employed at. Along with that, I have created a family here. There is a strong community who has your back throughout everything. My future goals and plans have always been accommodated to and an interest to everyone. I have been here four months and I still feel like I’m on vacation everyday even while working full-time. I wish everyone had a chance to experience a company like this.
