In celebration of the 40th anniversary of Prince's groundbreaking album and film 'Purple Rain,' Paisley Park and the Prince Estate are offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for fans to stay at the legendary 'Purple Rain' house featured in the iconic movie.
For the first time ever, the house will open its doors to the public, with reservations being accepted this summer. This exclusive experience is part of Airbnb's Icons program, which offers extraordinary experiences curated by prominent figures in music, film, television, sports, and more.
In 'Purple Rain,' Prince portrays 'The Kid,' a rising rock star navigating challenges in the vibrant Minneapolis music scene. In 2015, Prince acquired the famous Minneapolis home featured in the film, which has remained off-limits to the public until now.
Guests staying at the newly renovated property will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in 'The Kid's' world from the movie. The experience, curated by Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman, members of Prince's Revolution, includes a private tour of the home adorned with the musician's personal belongings and an overnight stay in 'The Kid's' bedroom, where he famously composed music.
L Londell McMillan expressed, "Forty years ago, Prince revolutionized culture with the release of Purple Rain. This year, we honor his enduring legacy and masterpiece with a series of events inspired by Purple Rain. Whether you're a local or a visitor, join us in Minnesota this year for an exclusive opportunity to delve into the genius behind the music."
Sam Sklover echoed the sentiment, stating, "It's truly exhilarating to reintroduce one of the most iconic homes in music and film history to both longtime fans and newcomers alike. The restoration remains faithful to Prince's vision, and we can't wait for everyone to enjoy this unique experience celebrating his legacy."
