HomeAway has announced today a contest where you could win a one-night stay in the secret apartment that Gustave Eiffel designed at the top of the Eiffel Tower, becoming the very first one to do so in history, practically something to brag about all your life!
In order to win this unique privilege, all you have to do is compose a tweet-length essay (maximum 140 characters) answering the question “What would you do if the Eiffel Tower Apartment was all yours for the night?”
Four lucky winners will be chosen to spend the night in a temporary 2,000 square-foot apartment that comes complete with bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen and lounging area with stunning views. Each winner is allowed to bring up to five additional guests to experience the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
“HomeAway is all about helping travelers make amazing vacation memories, so of course we thought of the Eiffel Tower as the ideal spot to make the most unforgettable vacation memory of all for some lucky travelers,” CEO and Co-Founder, Brian Sharples, told Travel + Leisure. “We’re also making a bit of history, as no tourist has ever gotten to sleep inside before. Many of our travelers fall in love with the home as much as the destination and we think this is probably the most special ‘home’ we’ve had the privilege of opening to our customers.”
“For over a decade, HomeAway has brought loved ones together to create unforgettable experiences in whole home vacation rentals in more than 190 countries. Now we present this unprecedented Eiffel Tower history-making adventure, guaranteed to provide the most epic vacation memories of a lifetime,”he added.
UEFA EURO 2016 football tournament
HomeAway’s Eiffel Tower Apartment, created by a Parisian designer just in time for the UEFA EURO 2016 football tournament, will host the different groups on June 23, June 28, July 4 and July 8, 2016. The contest also includes three additional nights in Paris at a HomeAway vacation rental, round-trip transportation and a gourmet dinner in HomeAway’s Eiffel Tower Apartment. Winners will be announced on June 10, the day the tournament kicks off in Paris.
“Creating a temporary dream vacation property inside this world-renowned monument reflects our company’s offering of private and comfortable accommodations perfect for making long-lasting vacation memories,” said Mariano Dima, chief marketing officer of HomeAway. “This concept is an extension of our ‘It’s Your Vacation, Why Share It?’ campaign that shows the benefits of whole home vacation rentals.”
HomeAway is a national sponsor in France and global official fan accommodations provider for UEFA EURO 2016. From June 10-July 10, it will host tournament viewing parties and other free activities in the HomeAway Eiffel Tower Apartment for thousands to enjoy.
The apartment has been opened for tours before, but (understandably) never to the general public for overnight stays.
