Airbnb Occupancy Rate in Vancouver, Canada, Data & Trends 2026

Over the 2025-06 to 2026-05 analysis period, Vancouver averaged 70% occupancy, two points above the Canadian city average of roughly 68% and on a par with Toronto and Montreal. Where Vancouver clearly leads is rate: its ADR of €146 (about $133) is the highest of any Canadian city we track, well above the national average near €99, which lifts average monthly revenue to €2,849 (about $2,590) per listing across roughly 251 booked nights a year.

Revenue is essentially flat year on year at -2%, reflecting a tightly licensed, supply-constrained market rather than a slump. The seasonality index of 86% is comparatively moderate for Canada, confirming that Vancouver's mild climate and year-round business, cruise and film demand smooth the curve: the August-to-February swing is real but less brutal than in prairie cities, so a well-priced listing can earn meaningfully outside the summer peak.

Vancouver's Airbnb demand is driven by its role as Canada's Pacific gateway: it is the country's busiest cruise homeport, with ships sailing the Alaska season from Canada Place between roughly April and October, feeding pre- and post-cruise overnight stays downtown. The city is also "Hollywood North," so visiting film and TV crews book longer stays, while conventions at the Vancouver Convention Centre and a steady flow of business travellers keep weekday occupancy firm.

Leisure visitors come for the rare combination of ocean, city and mountains within a single day: Stanley Park, the Seawall, Granville Island and Grouse Mountain are core draws, and many guests use Vancouver as the launch point for Whistler, Vancouver Island and the BC ferries. International arrivals from Asia and the US, plus a mild oceanic climate that keeps shoulder seasons viable, give the market a more even demand curve than colder Canadian cities.

Downtown, Coal Harbour and Yaletown command the highest nightly rates, sitting walking distance from Canada Place cruise terminal, the convention centre and the Seawall; these are where cruise and business guests want to be. The West End, anchored by Davie Village and English Bay, is dense, walkable and especially strong around Pride and summer beach season. Gastown and Chinatown offer character stays that appeal to younger international travellers.

Across False Creek, Kitsilano trades on beach and Granville Island access and skews toward families and longer leisure stays, while Mount Pleasant and Commercial Drive ("The Drive") draw budget-conscious and culture-seeking guests at lower ADRs. Be aware that Vancouver's principal-residence rule means most legal listings are rooms or units inside a host's own home, which shapes what you can realistically operate in each district.
