If you happen to be a Prince fan and were captivated by Purple Rain at any point, you may be excited to learn about the new venture honoring the late artist’s work. The Purple Rain house, orchestrated by Airbnb, pays homage to Prince by giving fans access to the art and music of the iconic 1984 classic. Located in Prince’s hometown of Minneapolis, fans can access exclusive pieces and memorabilia from Prince’s personal collection through the reimagined Airbnb. The home incorporates real-life elements, unreleased tracks, memories, and authentic pieces.
“We were lucky enough to be a part of the music scene in Minneapolis during such a pivotal era for rock music, playing with Prince in one of the most successful bands of our generation and starring alongside him in the Purple Rain film,” said Wendy & Lisa. “The Purple Rain house stands as a tribute to our dear friend Prince, the timeless character he brought to life, and the lasting impact he continues to have. We hope the space gives fans a glimpse into the eclectic world Prince created, and visitors walk away feeling a little bit closer to him as an artist and person.”

Wendy & Lisa left instructions to play the chorus of ‘Purple Rain’ along with pre-recorded audio of The Kid himself. Speaking of music, the bedroom has a personal tape collection, including one of Prince’s demo recordings.

The space will be available to fans for 25 total one-night stays from October 26 to December 14 for up to four guests. However, guests can request to book the Purple Rain house starting October 2 at 6:00 AM PT at airbnb.com/prince through October 6 at 11:59 PM PT.
