Airbnb recently introduced a house modeled after ‘X-Men ’97’ at the 2024 Summer Release Event. The X-Mansion mirrors Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters in New Castle, New York.
It reportedly offers the following to guests:
- Train in the War Room with professional stunt coordinators
- Try on Cerebro’s helmet
- Create potions in Beast’s lab
- Recreate Wolverine’s iconic photograph meme
- Receive a diploma from the Institute for higher learning in Professor X’s study
How Was The Place Built?
Airbnb teamed up with Microsoft to achieve the ‘X-Men ’97’ feel in the place. They used old operating systems to update boomboxes and spent hours handpainting props and rooms to create a 2D animated look. Every item in the house took over an hour to paint.
The X-Mansion can host up to eight guests with its four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The company’s official website lists the price as $97 per guest.
The Project Also Includes Other Fictional Worlds
Airbnb also gave a sneak peek of the upcoming ‘Up!’ House Icons experience. The team built the floating Disney home from scratch in Abiquiu, New Mexico.
The place features a film-accurate color scheme and props like an Adventure book. It weighs 40,000 pounds and hangs from a crane 50 feet in the air.
Airbnb’s new project also includes stays in Barbie’s Malibu DreamHouse, Shrek’s Swamp, and The Last Blockbuster.
