Most of the Icon locations are free, and the others cost less than $100 per guest. They can be booked through the app, which displays a countdown timer for when each Icon is available. More than 4,000 lucky guests will be able to visit them in 2024.
With the tremendous popularity of Disney+’s X-Men 97 they launched the X-Mansion!
Per Variety the X-Mansion includes:
Wolverine’s and Jubilee’s bedrooms, Beast’s science lab, the telepathic Cerebro device, the Danger Room and other features. There’s even the severed head of an evil, robotic Sentinel laying in the front yard to greet you as you arrive.
Let’s take a look inside:
This X-Mansion costs a mere $97 a night (get it!?), and is located in the Westchester, NY township in keeping with Marvel canon.
AirBnB Icons can only be Requested rather than Booked and that can only be done in the AirBnB app.
