Enter the World of X-Men 97 and Other Pop Culture Favs Courtesy of Airbnb


Calling all comic fans! Have you ever wanted to enroll in Xavier’s Institute for Higher Learning? While you can’t submit your high school transcripts and take classes there, you now stay the night at the X-Mansion thanks to Airbnb.

The vacation rental company just announced Icons, unique themed locations with matching experiences based on landmarks from pop culture—like the house from Disney’s Up! and the mansion from X-Men 97.

The Crash at the X-Mansion Icon, located in New Castle, New York, is hosted by the character Jubilee and costs $97 per guest. The four-bed, two-bath home allows eight guests. Perks include:

  • Training in the famous Danger Room with expert stunt coordinators.

  • A try-on of Cerebro to assess and determine your mutant power.

  • A taste-test of Beast’s “mutant energy elixirs” in his lab.

  • The perfect chance to recreate the famous Wolverine meme.

  • The opportunity to explore the 2-D World of the X-Men.

  • A class photo and official diploma to honor your achievements in mutant higher learning.

  • A beignet breakfast featuring Gambit’s secret recipe.

To make the experience as authentic as possible, Airbnb hand-painted every surface in the house (plants included) to produce that comic book look. If you stay in Wolverine’s room, you may even see some scratches from his Adamantium claws. The company also collaborated with Microsoft to get their hands on era-specific tech like computers running early versions of Windows, working boomboxes, CDs, and what appears to be an arcade machine or joystick-controlled console. 

The X-Mansion is one of 11 Icons Airbnb revealed this week. “Most Icons are free, and all are priced under $100 USD per guest,” the company says, but you have to put in a request to stay and hope you’re picked. “Slots to book an Icon Listing are extremely limited,” Airbnb notes in the fine print.

A countdown displays the time until each Icon goes live, at which point would-be guests can request a booking. Requests to stay at the X-Mansion are open until 11:59 p.m. PT on May 13.
