This year marks the 40th anniversary of Prince’s classic film Purple Rain and its accompanying soundtrack album. To celebrate the occasion, members of his backing band The Revolution have listed the newly restored home from the movie on Airbnb.
The Purple Rain house, located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, will be open for 25 total one-night stays from October 26th to December 14th. Up to four guests will be allowed at a time, with each stay priced at just $7 per person in a nod to Prince’s favorite number. Try your luck with booking it here starting on October 2nd at 6:00 a.m. PT through October 6th at 11:59 p.m. PT.
Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman of The Revolution curated the space with exclusive pieces and memorabilia from the Purple One’s personal collection, including unreleased tracks. Besides a spa decorated as a tribute to the “When Doves Cry” video, you can sleep in The Kid’s bedroom, which is not only decorated to match the film, but also houses a tape collection featuring one of Prince’s demo recordings. The listing also teases “a room filled with treasures” behind a secret door.

“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,” Melvoin and Coleman said in a statement. “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.”
Part of Airbnb’s “Icons” initiative, the Purple Rain house was announced earlier this year alongside experiences like the house from Up, X-Mansion, and a “living room session” with Doja Cat. Other recent music-related Airbnbs include the American Football house, an early Beatles venue, and Jeff Buckley’s Memphis home.
This summer, the Purple Rain movie received a 4K restoration (pick up your copy here) while the album — which we named as the greatest of all time — was remixed in Dolby Atmos.
