Introducing car rentals, grocery delivery, airport pickups, exclusive FIFA World Cup 2026™ Experiences, boutique hotels, and more—making your entire trip even better
Last year, we expanded Airbnb beyond homes with the launch of Airbnb Experiences and Airbnb Services. For the first time, you could book a place to stay, explore a city with a local, and have a private chef cook you dinner, all on Airbnb. Since then, millions of people around the world have done exactly that.
This summer, we’re going further. We’re adding new categories of services to make every part of your trip easier, and new experiences you can only find on Airbnb—including exclusive access to the FIFA World Cup 2026. We’re also bringing boutique and independent hotels to Airbnb. And we’re upgrading the app with AI-powered tools to help you find the perfect place to stay, plan your trip, and get help the moment you need it.
“Travel shouldn’t just be convenient. It should be meaningful. The best trips help you explore, learn, and come home a little different than when you left. That’s what we’re building at Airbnb. And this summer, we’re giving people even more ways to do it—from incredible places to stay and boutique hotels that feel like Airbnb, to unforgettable World Cup experiences and services that make your trip easier,” said Brian Chesky, co-founder and CEO of Airbnb.
A great stay starts before you check in. That’s why we’re adding new services for every part of your trip—from the moment you land to the moment you leave. This is just the beginning of new services guests can book on Airbnb this year.
Guests love Airbnb Experiences, rating them 4.93 out of 5 stars on average.5 This summer, we’re adding thousands more experiences led by local experts across the categories travelers want most: landmarks, food culture, and events.
This summer, we’re bringing thousands of boutique and independent hotels to Airbnb. Guests can find amazing hotels in 20 top destinations around the world—including New York, Paris, London, Madrid, Rome, and Singapore—with more cities to come throughout the year. Each hotel is selected for its neighborhood location, design, and hospitality.
The moment you open the app, you’ll find everything on the new homepage. We’ve also made it easier to discover the perfect place to stay, plan trips with friends and family, and get help the moment you need it.
New Airbnb Services, Airbnb Experiences, and boutique hotels are available across select countries worldwide today, with car rentals, the new homepage, shared itinerary, and additional app features rolling out later this summer.
