What if you could stay in the house that floats from Up? Or spend one night in the famous Musée D'Orsay in Paris, France?
Well, now is your chance!
On Wednesday, May 1, Airbnb announced their newest feature that allows users to bunk at some of the “world’s greatest icons.”
“Icons take you inside worlds that only existed in your imagination — until now,” Brian Chesky, Airbnb co-founder and CEO, said about the latest venture. “As life becomes increasingly digital, we’re focused on bringing more magic into the real world. With Icons, we’ve created the most extraordinary experiences on Earth.”
At the event on May 1 in Los Angeles, Calif., Chesky took the crowd through what people can sign up in the coming months. He announced 11 "icons," but there will be more announcements along the way.
Live out your Pixar dreams, as you can sleep inside one of the most iconic homes — and it even soars into the air. According to Airbnb's website, guests will "explore Carl’s world in this detailed re-creation of his home, complete with more than 8,000 balloons, and located in the scenic red rocks of Abiquiu, New Mexico."
If you for in need of a trip to Europe, think about staying "in the Paris art museum’s iconic clock room, which has been transformed into a luxurious bedroom by Mathieu Lehanneur, designer of the Paris 2024 Games torch and cauldron. From the terrace, you’ll witness the historic Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games along the River Seine," the website reads.
