New
themed
stays
are
coming
to
Airbnb
with
Icons,
a
new
category
of
lodging
featuring
unique
experiences
inspired
by
major
icons
in
music,
film,
television,
art,
sports,
and
more.
There
will
be
11
experiences
for
2024;
the
list
includes
Disney-inspired
stays
that
will
take
you
to
Westchester,
New
York
to
stay
in
the
X-Men
‘97
X-Mansion,
and
New
Mexico
to
float
among
the
clouds
in
Pixar’s
Up
house.
“Icons
take
you
inside
worlds
that
only
existed
in
your
imagination—until
now,”
Brian
Chesky,
Airbnb
co-founder
and
CEO,
said
in
a
press
release.
“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.”
Icons
will
be
featured
in
their
own
category
on
Airbnb’s
website.
Most
Icons
will
either
be
free
or
priced
under
$100
per
guest—but
you
can’t
just
book
them
like
a
regular
Airbnb.
There
will
be
a
countdown
display
until
the
time
each
Icon
goes
live,
and
guests
can
request
to
book
through
the
app.
Lucky
guests
who
are
picked
will
get
a
digital
golden
ticket,
and
there
will
be
more
than
4,000
tickets
available
in
2024.

“Live
like
the
X-Men
as
you
stay
in
a
2D
animated
re-creation
of
Marvel
Animation’s
X-Mansion
in
Westchester,
New
York.
You’ll
discover
your
mutant
abilities
and
even
train
in
the
Danger
Room.”
That’s
cool
and
all,
but
we’re
only
game
as
long
as
we’re
just
living
out
our
mutant
boarding
school
dreams
with
some
friendly
fire
that
won’t
turn
into
sudden
soul-crushing
tragedy.
“Sleep
inside
one
of
Disney
and
Pixar’s
most
iconic
homes—and
yes,
it
floats.
You’ll
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.”
Okay,
staying
in
a
floating
house
seems
like
an
adorable
experience
in
a
gorgeous
location.
As
long
we
we
don’t
float
away!
“In
anticipation
of
the
June
14
release
of
Disney
and
Pixar’s
new
movie
Inside
Out
2,
you’re
invited
to
an
overnight
stay
at
Headquarters,
the
control
center
of
Riley’s
emotions.
Your
host,
Joy,
will
welcome
you
into
her
vibrant
world
to
witness
the
emotions
in
action
and
help
keep
things
in
balance.”
This
one
is
very
intriguing,
probably
more
geared
for
kids
because
an
adult
staying
in
the
mind
of
a
teen
girl
sounds
like
an
existential
crisis
waiting
to
happen.
