Although many of us are well-acquainted with the process of finding spaces to rent for longer periods of time, when it comes time to rent a space for a day, we might find ourselves unsure where to begin. If that’s the case, learn where and how you can easily rent a space for a day or even a period of several hours. The solution: Peerspace, the internet’s largest marketplace for short-term rentals, including event venues and other spaces. Discover how Peerspace works and a few examples of the kinds of spaces you can find.
Where to rent a space for a day
Peerspace is the most useful tool to find spaces available to rent by the hour, no matter why you’re looking — whether it’s for a party, a professional event, a creative production, or something else entirely. Peerspace’s selection is extensive, too, with thousands of options located in a diverse array of locations. To be specific, you can find many thousands of Peerspace rentals in hundreds of cities located in locales as varied as Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and elsewhere.
The Peerspace search engine is unbelievably simple while also being quite detailed and effective in narrowing down your results to only include listings that fit your requirements. To start, on the Peerspace homepage, type in the kind of activity you’re hosting, as well as the location — as specific as the city or state, or as broad as an entire country.
Depending on where your search results are located, you might end up with thousands of potential listings. Instead of scrolling through all of these, many of which might be the completely wrong fit for your plans and a waste of your time, you should make your search more specific. Luckily, this is easy to do with the array of criteria Peerspace lets you add to your search, including but not limited to:
- Cost per hour of the rental
- Number of attendees
- Date of rental
- Interior or outdoor spaces
- Instant booking availability
- Type of space
- Style and aesthetic
Once you’ve submitted this more specific search, it’s time to start looking at individual listings. This process is aided by the fact every Peerspace listing contains plenty of high-quality photos of the space it’s associated with. Plus, each listing has detailed written descriptions of what each space is like, the kind of amenities you’ll find there, and much more.
Plenty of Peerspace listings come along with reviews from people who have rented the spaces in the past, which will give a further, honest insight into what you can expect as a potential renter. If you have any questions or additional requests for the host of a space, it’s easy to contact them with one click from the listing.
Spaces you can rent for a day
Before you get started in your search for a space to rent for a day, here are a few different kinds of spaces that you can rent through Peerspace. These give a sense of what to expect when you begin to browse the site for listings:
1. A unique 1970s vintage home in Las Vegas
Seeking a retro vibe near Las Vegas, Nevada? This 4,000-square-foot miniature mansion would absolutely fit the bill. According to the host, it’s “a photographer’s and filmmaker’s dream with different themed rooms (e.g., tiki jungle room green room, dressing room, ’60s retro blue room, ’70s retro living room, etc.).”
Reviewers seem to have nothing but positive remarks about their experiences here. One reviewer wrote, “We held a going away surprise party for my best friend and her husband and this space was PERFECT in every way! Such a unique and beautiful home! The purple room was everyone’s FAV! And the pool was a MUST for a hot day! We all had the best time and will definitely book again in the future!”
2. A stunning art gallery in Philadelphia
We’re big fans of this art gallery in the Center City East neighborhood of Philadelphia. If you’d like your space rental to be beautifully decorated, this location is the ideal choice. Best of all, it’s nestled blocks from the Liberty Bell.
Unsurprisingly, a space of this quality has almost 100 positive reviews. To quote one happy reviewer, “I celebrated my 64th birthday here and it was unbelievable. Everyone had a great time, the staff was very friendly and helpful. My friends were so impressed with the gallery. I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a great place to have a celebration of any sort this would be the ideal place to have it.”
3. A naturally lit, versatile loft in Washington, DC

If a loft is more your speed, this loft in Washington, DC, is a great example of the kind of spaces you’ll find on Peerspace. There’s so much to love about this contemporary loft. As the host describes it as having “20-foot ceilings, skylight, 16-foot wall of windows (upstairs), stone floors, a small outdoor space, and amazing original art… It is conveniently located between Columbia Heights and Petworth Metro stations and has close on-street parking.”
One of quite a few positive reviewers commented, “This space is absolutely beautiful. I hosted a 25-person dinner party with a private chef and it was perfect… Definitely recommend.”
