VICTORIA BC (Songhees, Esquimalt and W̱SÁNEĆ territories) | August 11, 2025 – This week, Canada's sex-positive hotel brand, Hotel Zed, opens The Love Nest, their swanky new specialty room intentionally designed for sex.

Since opening their doors in 2014, Hotel Zed has been pushing the envelope on sex-positivity in the hotel industry with their Valentine’s Day Nooner campaigns, including 2025’s promotion. With the launch of the new Love Nest, they are taking it even further--encouraging guests to have open conversations and explore their desires without shame.
To ensure guests have the tools and resources to break out of their comfort zones, Hotel Zed has created a space that encourages exploration across every surface, while providing a library of resources to help inspire guests on their sexual journey. Specially designed features and furniture such as a Playpen Sofa, a Tantric Chaise, a dancing pole and custom grab-bar headboard offer functionality while the room itself is lavishly adorned with mood-setting retro-inspired décor and lighting that evokes the thrill of a speakeasy.
