Fans can now stay in the Purple Rain house

For the first time ever, Prince fans will have access to the art and music of Purple Rain. 

Paying homage to Prince’s legendary career and creative genius in a fresh reimagination of The Kid’s world from the 1984 classic, The Revolution’s Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman welcome fans to the newly restored Purple Rain house, in celebration of the film’s 40th anniversary.

The lifelong friends and collaborators of the musical genius invite Airbnb guests to experience Purple Rain like never before, including exclusive pieces and memorabilia from Prince’s personal collection.

The home incorporates real-life elements, unreleased tracks, memories and authentic pieces from Prince’s own collection, making it the ultimate tribute to Purple Rain and the man behind the beloved character, The Kid.

Unfortunately for us Kiwi fans the house is based in Minneapolis.

“We were lucky enough to be a part of the music scene in Minneapolis during such a pivotal era for rock music, playing with Prince in one of the most successful bands of our generation and starring alongside him in the Purple Rain film,” said Wendy & Lisa. 

“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. 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.”

Located in Prince’s hometown of Minneapolis, the Purple Rain house represents his deep-rooted love for the city, iconic music and the pride his community continues to show for him still today. 

The space will be available for 25 total one-night stays, now bookable on Airbnb. Each stay will be priced at $7 per person – a nod to Prince’s favourite number.
