3-star riverside retreat with creative architecture in Tofino

Architecture

The Inn at Tough City is constructed with repurposed materials from around the globe, showcasing stained-glass windows sourced from Scotland and over 45,000 red bricks salvaged from Gastown in Vancouver. This one-of-a-kind building stands out in Tofino, offering a fascinating backdrop for guests. Each element reflects the hotel's dedication to sustainability and artistic design.

Dining

The hotel's dining room overlooks Clayoquot Sound and serves high-quality sushi crafted from the freshest fish available. Sushi chefs offer a menu that includes classic maki and modern interpretations of sushi, appealing to both novices and seasoned fans. The eclectic interior combines vintage Japanese artifacts, handcrafted war-era model planes, and rescued wood beams from Vancouver's Old Town.

Rooms

Rooms at The Inn vary in layout and themes, with each offering unique designs and spacious accommodations. All rooms include large soaker tubs, hardwood floors, and stunning views of either Clayoquot Sound or Tofino. The varied room options cater to different guest needs, ensuring a relaxing visit.

Location

Located on the water's edge, The Inn is well-positioned for exploring the natural beauty of Tofino and Clayoquot Sound. Guests can easily access local attractions, including beaches and outdoor adventure opportunities. This prime location enhances the overall experience for both new and returning visitors.

Home-like Environment

The Inn at Tough City emphasizes a welcoming, home-style atmosphere, creating a familial bond among guests and staff. This environment contrasts with the rigidity often found in chain hotels, allowing guests to truly relax and feel at home. Guests can enjoy entertaining spaces to gather, share stories, and plan their next adventures together.

Highlights

Location: Located on the water's edge

Rooms: large soaker tubs

Dining: top quality sushi using the freshest fish

Architecture: stained-glass windows from as far away as Scotland

“For an affordable stay in Tofino, this inn holds undeniable appeal. I think its super-friendly staff and the lure of rooms featuring water views are definite highlights. I was also intrigued to find an attached sushi restaurant-a detail that promises both convenience and a unique dining experience.”
