Airbnb has introduced Airbnb Originals, a new initiative offering exclusive experiences hosted by celebrities. Fans can participate in unique activities such as an anime transformation session with Megan Thee Stallion in Los Angeles, learning to throw a perfect spiral with NFL star Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City, or celebrating K-pop group Seventeen’s 10th anniversary in Seoul. These experiences are available on a first-come, first-served basis and are free, though availability is limited. Other upcoming events include a day of glam and dancing with Sabrina Carpenter in L.A. and a visit to Colombian singer Karol G’s favorite place in her hometown. Airbnb Originals allows hosts to set their own prices, and the company is also collaborating with other celebrities like Keke Palmer and Glennon Doyle. Additionally, Airbnb users can enjoy pastry-making lessons in Paris or beach volleyball in Rio de Janeiro. These offerings are part of Airbnb’s expanded Experiences section, which includes tours, outings, and events hosted by locals in 650 cities worldwide. The company also launched Airbnb Services, enabling users to book personal trainers, spa treatments, and more in 260 cities. All experiences and services are vetted for quality and expertise. The redesigned Airbnb app integrates these features, allowing users to book everything in one place.
