Apart from its commitment to European heritage tourism, Airbnb opened this special listing to celebrate the musical’s global success. The Parisian opera house oozes 19th-century splendour: grand stairwells, intricate alcoves, and bedrooms with gold and marble fixtures.
Guests will sleep at the Box of Honour, the largest opera box in the Airbnb, where dignitaries typically stay over. Aside from providing access to the iconic bedroom, this Palais Garnier experience offers dinner in the Foyer de la Danse and a tour of its rooftop and other hidden areas, including the private archives and underground lake featured in the novel.
Phans will also have a private ballet initiation with an Opera de Paris Ballet dancer, as well as an exclusive viewing of a recital performance by the Paris Opera Academy.
Hosting the stay is Véronique Leroux, the great-granddaughter of French novelist Gaston Leroux. “My great-grandfather’s classic story has inspired so many people through the years,” Leroux said. “This is the perfect time to honour him and welcome ‘phans’ to the famous setting of his much-loved novel for a once-in-a-lifetime stay.”
