Live Like a Local at These 12 Cape Town Airbnbs With Pools, Hot Tubs, and Epic Views

Airbnb announced the launch of its new "Icons" category on May 14, 2024, offering unique stays inspired by famous movies and TV shows. The initial collection features 11 listings, including a stay in the "Up" house, a recreation of the "X-Men" mansion, and a night at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. These exclusive experiences are designed to allow guests to "live like their heroes" and are available for limited booking periods. Airbnb is collaborating with various partners, including Pixar, Universal Pictures, and the Fez family, to bring these themed accommodations to life. The "Icons" program aims to provide unparalleled access to cultural landmarks and fictional worlds, with pricing and booking details to be released closer to the launch dates for each individual listing. This initiative marks a significant expansion of Airbnb's offerings beyond traditional vacation rentals.
