The Best Airbnbs In Paris
The Palais Garnier
For the first time ever, you can actually spend the night in the Parisian opera house that inspired the record-breaking musical, The Phantom of the Opera—Broadway's longest running show hoarding over 70 major theatre awards. It's all part of Airbnb's commitment to heritage tourism in Europe which will see the traditional Palais Garnier opera boxes fully restored to retain their 19th Century historical splendour—which we are very much here for.
A stay here will only set you back $57 AUD or $63 NZD a night, with one of the most exclusive private viewing areas in the theatre, known as the Box of Honour, having been transformed into a majestic bedroom. On top of this, 'phans' will get to wander the halls of this iconic building and your stay includes a visit to the real underground lake, home of the Phantom, featured in the famous novel. If you need more convincing, you'll also be privy to an exclusive recited performed by the artists of Paris Opera Academy, complete with champagne and hors d'oeuvres (naturally) and dinner in the lavish Foyer de la Danse.
You can request to book the overnight stay on Thursday 2 March from 6am NZDT. The stay is set to take place on Sunday 16 July.
