vacancies

Available rooms or jobs

Vacancies is the plural of vacancy—empty positions or unoccupied spaces.

Job vacancies are positions waiting to be filled: The company posted three vacancies last week.

Hotel vacancies are available rooms, famously advertised on roadside signs.

The word can also describe mental emptiness: He stared with a vacancy that suggested he wasn't listening.
