Canadian STR hosts and hoteliers have set a high bar for thoughtful spaces that blend comfort, style, and unforgettable experiences. Now, bringing those spaces to life is easier than ever.
We’re excited to share that Minoan is now available in Canada!
Whether you manage a cozy mountain chalet outside of Calgary or a city-view condo in Toronto, you can now furnish, replenish, and elevate your space at insider prices, all through Minoan. Hosts in every province across the country (except Quebec – but we promise that’s coming soon!) can join Minoan at no cost to save big with up to 60% off retail.
“In the last several years, we’ve helped hosts in the US save over $30M on furniture, decor, soap, shampoo, linens, you name it – so we’re very excited to finally be able to bring those benefits to hosts across Canada.”
– Marc Hostovsky, Founder and CEO of Minoan
A thriving short-term rental market
Tourism in Canada is climbing among both international and domestic travelers.
In 2024, the country welcomed 19.9 million international visitors who spent 16% more compared to pre-pandemic tourism spend in 2019.
Domestic travel is seeing an even bigger boom: Canadian residents took 292.1 million domestic trips and spent $74.8B in 2024.
According to Airbnb data:
- Domestic travel in Canada surged by more than 10% in the first half of 2025 compared to 2024.
- 12 of 13 provinces and territories saw year-over-year growth in Airbnb bookings.
- Airbnb bookings by Canadians in Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan grew by more than 20% year-over-year.
Behind that growth are hosts and hospitality professionals who care deeply about design, comfort, and the guest experience. And that’s where Minoan fits in.
Minoan’s connection to Canada
For years, logistical hurdles like tariffs, taxes, and cross-border shipping prevented us from supporting Canadian members. But after laying the groundwork and building strong brand partnerships, we’re officially ready to help Canadian STR hosts shop smarter – without sacrificing quality or savings.
Minoan actually has some important roots in Canada: our co-founder, one of our engineering leaders, and some of our earliest investors and brand partners are Canadian. These connections make our expansion to Canada even more special.
What Canadian hosts can expect when they join Minoan
We believe vacation rental hosts are four-walled influencers – so they should get influencer benefits!
Joining Minoan gives you access to insider prices of up to 60% off top hospitality brands, on everything from furniture and linens to decor and kitchen essentials.
You’ll enjoy the same perks our US members love:
- A centralized ordering platform that makes procurement simple and stress-free.
- Access to premium brands like Article, Parachute, Leesa, and Public Goods, with up to 60% off.
- The ability to create a free digital Showroom, where guests can shop the items they fell in love with during their stay (and you earn a commission!)
It’s the same Minoan experience, so you can shop, save, and furnish beautifully (in $CAD!)
“Our core belief is that hosts are four-walled influencers. They’re creating inspiring guest experiences. And that entitles them to the deep savings that Minoan offers from top brands.”
– Marc Hostovsky, Founder and CEO of Minoan
To encourage our valued members to spread the word, we’ve upped our referral bonus from $25 to $75 for every new host that you bring into Minoan. Remember, Minoan is free to join – no membership fees, just discounted prices on the brands you and your guests love.
We can’t wait to see how Canadian hosts make Minoan their own.
