Airbnb has revealed a new line of specialty icons hotels that will let guests take a vacation into the worlds of their favorite movies and TV shows, such as the house from Disney's Up!, Prince’s Purple Rain house, and the iconic X-Mansion from X-Men '97. During Airbnb's 2024 Summer Release Event, the company famous for its short-term housing rental online marketplace revealed that it has taken over a residential home in New Castle, New York to transform the house to look like the real world version of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, as featured in Disney Plus and Marvel Animation's hit series X-Men '97.
The new listing hosted by Jubilee herself, on Airbnb's website, calls out "all mutants" and teases immersive fun ranging from trying Cerebro and training in the Danger Room. "Calling all mutants! Or anyone who feels just a little bit different. Now's your shot to find out how super special you are at Xavier's Institute for Higher Learning. We're totally ready to welcome mutant trainees like you to our newest class. Anyway, get ready for the coolest orientation ever," the listing reads.
According to the site, the Airbnb X-Mansion will let you experience:
Train a class in the Danger Room with professional stunt coordinators
Try on Cerebro’s helmet in the War Room
Try "mutant energy elixirs' in Beast’s lab, which is described as a "science playground"
Recreate Wolverine’s iconic picture frame meme
Receive a diploma and photo from the Institute for Higher Learning in Professor X's study
Airbnb also released a video that gives us a tour of the real-life X-Mansion:

Each prop in Airbnb's X-Mansion took upwards of an hour to paint by hand, and the company collaborated with Microsoft to repurpose its 30-year-old operating systems to create working boomboxes and hand-painted every room and prop in the house to make guests feel like they're walking through the 2D cartoon world. According to the listing, eight guests can crash in four bedrooms in Airbnb's X-Mansion. You can read more about the company's X-Men experience in description from the site :
The X-Mansion is the best place for you and other mutants to learn about and control your awesome mutant gifts. Your stay will be packed with training, cool experiments, secret mission briefings, a class photo, and more! When you're wiped out, crash in my room, Wolverine's, or one of our other dorms. Can't wait for our mutant sleepover! I'll lead you through new student orientation (don't worry we'll get to the fun stuff fast). Enter Beast's totally gnarly lab! It's like a science playground where you'll be able to power-up with mutant energy elixirs. Take a class in the Danger Room, where some of our combat professors will teach you how to improve your fighting skills-you never know when you'll have to fend off The Hellfire Club! Head to the War Room to try on Cerebro, and find out your mutant superpower. Maybe you'll be an Omega level mutant like Storm! Before you leave, we'll debrief you on your new powers AND you can snag your official diploma and class photo. Oh, and beignets for breakfast (Gambit's secret recipe) My fave!
The listing currently lists the experience for $97 per guest and closes on May 15, 2:59 AM, so if you're a big X-Men fan who want to have the ultimate X-Mansion experience, make sure to visit Airbnb's site.
