Prince Fans Can Live Like Music Royalty in Minneapolis Airbnb
Welcome to Minneapolis, the hometown of the legendary music superstar Prince! For a limited time, up to 100 lucky fans will have the opportunity to stay at a historic home featured in the iconic film “Purple Rain.” This Airbnb rental promises a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will allow guests to immerse themselves in Prince’s cultural legacy.
While the exterior of the white, two-story home may seem unassuming, the interior is a treasure trove for Prince enthusiasts. Upstairs, a large closet adorned with paisley wallpaper and a leopard-spotted floor showcases some of Prince’s most iconic outfits behind glass. Guests can even try on some of these legendary ’80s looks to channel their inner rock star.
These unique Airbnb rentals are priced at just $7 per person per night for up to four guests, a nod to Prince’s favorite number. There will be a total of 25 nightly stays available from October 26 to December 14, coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the movie “Purple Rain.”
The film catapulted Prince to superstardom with hits like “Let’s Go Crazy” and “When Doves Cry,” solidifying his status as a musical icon. Despite his tragic passing in 2016, Prince’s legacy continues to thrive through his timeless music and unforgettable style.
Hosted by Lisa Coleman and Wendy Melvoin, two longtime friends and collaborators of Prince, these Airbnb rentals offer guests a chance to sleep in a replica of The Kid’s bedroom from the film. Complete with lavender pillows, ’80s decor, and even a cassette player, the experience is designed to transport visitors into The Kid’s world.
Throughout the house, guests will find QR codes that provide insightful commentary from the hosts, further enhancing the immersive experience. And, in true tribute to Prince, the décor is awash with his signature color, purple.
If you’re a die-hard Prince fan, you can submit a booking request online from October 2 at 6 a.m. Pacific time until October 6 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time. Airbnb will randomly select a pool of potential guests based on their responses to why they want to stay at this historic home.
Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live like music royalty in the heart of Prince’s legacy. Book your stay now and be part of the “Purple Rain” experience!
