Nostalgia alert: You can actually rent the famous Spice World bus through Airbnb
Spice Girls fans, your time has come! Not only is the reunion tour coming up, but now you can stay in the bus from Spice World. Check out the details here.
It’s time to spice up your life, Spice Girls fans! With the Spice Girls reunion tour starting later this year, what better time than the present to stay the night in one of the biggest icons from their 1997 film, Spice World: the double-decker bus.
A Spice Girls super-fan has tricked out the double-decker bus to live in, so you can be just like the Spice Girls in the film. But, while the outside is exactly the same and covered in the Union Jack, the inside is a little more updated and cozy (sorry, no Baby Spice swing).
There are touches of the Spice Girl style in the decor inside the bus including plenty of leopard print to represent Scary Spice, Union Jack-covered chairs that are almost a replica of Ginger Spice’s iconic dress, and of course, a sign with the girl’s signature phrase, “Girl power!”
The bus is available for two nights — June 14 and 15— and cost £99 or approximately $120 per night. It will be parked in Wembley Park but there is one catch. The bus does not have a bathroom. But, there will be a temporary bathroom nearby with a shower, sink, toilet, and any toiletries you may need.
So when can you get a reservation? Fans can start making reservations on May 22 at 8 a.m. British Summer Time. The bus can sleep up to three people, so call your friends and you can make a night of it. If you don’t watch Spice World inside the Spice World bus with your friends, are you really living?
The woman behind this opportunity is Suzanne Godley. Her boss purchased the bus, and when given the chance to renovate it, she was not going to say no:
"We’ve worked hard over the past few months to turn the bus into a home, in keeping with its legacy, and I’m so excited to open it up to the public with the support of Airbnb. Being part of this project has been like a dream come true and I can’t wait to meet other Spice Girls fans through this experience."
Who could blame her? Any self-respecting Spice Girls fan and music-lover would jump at the opportunity. Now all you have to do is set your alarms for May 22. Fans are sure to be clamoring to secure their spot on this iconic bus and you don’t want to miss your chance!
