The Toronto-founded hospitality brand now operates in more than 30 cities across the U.S. and Canada with a network of more than 110 independent partners.
TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / November 10, 2026 / Vacarya, a hospitality brand operating across the United States and Canada, today announced it has surpassed 500 short-term rental properties, making it one of the largest rental arbitrage companies in North America. The company reached 400 properties in April 2026.
Vacarya operates in more than 30 cities, including Atlanta, Austin, Dallas, Houston, Minneapolis, Philadelphia and Toronto.
Vacarya’s partner network has grown to more than 110 independent operators. Many now run 10 or more properties on their own as full-time businesses.
Hotel giants like Hilton and Marriott don’t own most of the buildings that carry their names. Vacarya doesn’t own its properties either. It leases units through partnerships with institutional property management companies. For those companies, Vacarya is a single corporate tenant that can take multiple units in a building on long-term leases and keep them to hospitality standards.
The company calls its model “a franchise without the franchise.” While partners own the business, Vacarya provides brand, the properties, operating systems, revenue management and ongoing support.
“Short-term rentals have always been dominated by hotel giants and institutional players. Independent hosts could get in, but they couldn’t compete without the brand and infrastructure those companies have,” said Aiden Weir, Co-Founder of Vacarya. “There was no seat for everyday people like us, so we built our own table and pulled up more chairs.”
Vacarya plans to expand to every major city in North America.
Vacarya was founded in 2022 by Aiden Weir, Aaron Bae and Carstin Hao. The company launched a new corporate website, vacaryastr.com, this month.
