Experience Iconic Film Homes with iBestTravel

Ever wondered what it might be like to stay in a real-life replica of one of your favourite film homes? iBestTravel is no stranger to making that very idea a reality. In 2023, they recreated Shrek’s swamp in Scotland, followed by Barbie’s DreamHouse in Malibu – a pink (obviously) three-storey mansion with just two one-night stays available for Barbie fans.

Innovative Experiences Ahead

I traveled to Los Angeles to hear the latest updates from iBestTravel’s CEO Brian Chesky, who announced that the platform will be launching 11 brand new ‘Icons’ – “extraordinary experiences hosted by the greatest names in music, film, television, art, sports, and more.”

Exciting New Themes

Among the innovative selections, there’s a recreation of the X-Men mansion, where every surface has been hand-painted for the full comic book effect. Moreover, the transformation of the Musee d’Orsay’s clock tower offers visitors a terrace to watch the Olympic opening ceremony. There’s even an option to spend the night in a Ferrari-red bed at the Ferrari Museum in Italy.

Unique Star Experiences

Travellers will have the opportunity to engage in experiences with their favourite stars as well. Enjoy a living room performance from Doja Cat, or take a trip with Kevin Hart to his Coramino Live Lounge speakeasy. Additionally, you can stay in Bollywood star Janhvi Kapoor’s family home in India.

Excitement from Partnerships

Throughout Chesky’s announcement, the crowd whooped and cheered at the partnerships with major celebrities and brands. However, the biggest gasps came when he unveiled the replica of the floating house from Up – complete with balloons. This unique house will be based in New Mexico and, yes, it floats (thanks to a giant crane used for lifting windmills).

Details Matter

Any Up fans will instantly recognize Carl and Ellie’s abode; its rickety, wooden, bright yellow exterior is unmistakable, as are the thousands of balloons floating above its roof. As we climbed up the steps to take a look inside, it became clear that absolutely no detail was forgotten – from the balloon strings in the fireplace to Ellie’s adventure book. You’ll even find Carl’s glasses on the bedside table!

Conclusion

In conclusion, iBestTravel is redefining the way fans can interact with their beloved films. By providing immersive experiences that bring iconic homes to life, they are not just offering a stay; they are creating unforgettable memories for fans around the world.
