Vancouver day room, June 2024

I can't find any availability for day rooms, June 30, 2024.  How far in advance do they open up availability?

It depends on the hotel or hotel brand. They're not required to offer day rooms at all so if its a busier season there might be little to no day room availability as they would rather sell the room for a night. As travel has picked up substantially, day room availability in general has plummeted. 

 

For an easy way to search a big brand the Marriott day use rate code is ZDY which you can search across all their brands in their app or website.

Very few hotels offer it here - we virtually ran at capacity during summer pre-Covid, and while the numbers have not quite recovered yet we also lost several hotels so the % of full rooms is probably still well over 90.

 

Only the Fairmont at the airport has consistently offered day rooms - with tight limits of both duration and start/end times, max 8 hours between 8am and 7pm, so they can resell the same room to folks arriving on an evening flight with time to clean them and end up with effectively >100% room use!

 

Honestly, considering you can buy access to lounges with showers and naprooms, it's a waste of money unless you book it for one person and then sneak a big group in! Less than a handful of other hotels appear on websites that specialize in day room bookings these days, IIRC the Hyatt and Georgian Court, neither of whom are cheap but should be better value than the Fairmont as well as actually downtown if you're looking for bag storage/chill space in between Doing Stuff rather than just somewhere to nap before a redeye.
