Imagine a world where travel isn’t just about finding a place to stay—it’s about crafting unforgettable moments, tailored to your every desire. With the Airbnb 2025 Summer Release, that world is here. Over a century ago, hotel chains changed how we travel. In 2007, Airbnb made booking a home as easy as booking a hotel. Now, after facilitating over 2 billion guest arrivals, Airbnb is once again transforming the travel landscape with groundbreaking updates that go beyond accommodation.
From professional services to elevate your stay, to local-led experiences with cultural icons, and a completely redesigned app, Airbnb is redefining what it means to explore the world. Let’s dive into how these innovations are set to change your next adventure.

Airbnb Summer 2025 Release: Now you can Airbnb more than an Airbnb
Airbnb Services: Hotel-Like Luxury, Anywhere
Ever wished you could have a Michelin-starred chef cook for you in the comfort of your Airbnb—or even at home? With Airbnb Services, launching across 260 cities worldwide, that dream is now a reality. This new feature brings professional, hotel-quality offerings directly to you, with 10 curated categories to choose from, including:
- In-home meals prepared by top chefs, including Michelin-starred talent.
- Spa treatments, massages, and personal training sessions for ultimate relaxation and fitness.
- Makeup, nails, and styling by expert professionals to get you event-ready.
- Photography and catering services for special occasions or memorable shoots.
What sets Airbnb Services apart is the quality and accessibility. Every service host is carefully vetted for expertise, ensuring a premium experience. Plus, pricing caters to a wide range of budgets, and you don’t even need to book an Airbnb stay to use these services. Whether you’re on vacation or at home, luxury is just a click away.
Airbnb Experiences: Discover Cities Like Never Before
Travel isn’t just about where you stay—it’s about what you do. With the reimagined Airbnb Experiences, you can unlock the true heart of a destination through activities hosted by locals and cultural luminaries. From guided museum tours and ramen-making classes in Tokyo to horseback rides through sacred Inca sites in Peru, these experiences offer authentic, insider perspectives.
But Airbnb takes it a step further with Airbnb Originals—exclusive, once-in-a-lifetime activities led by global stars. Picture yourself learning pastry-making with Chef Raphaelle Elbaz at French Bastards, spiking a volleyball on the beach with Olympian Carol Solberg, or diving into a creative quest with Megan Thee Stallion. Other highlights include a glam-filled day with Sabrina Carpenter or a BBQ and football session with NFL superstar Patrick Mahomes.
