Airbnb is launching a new tier of exclusive, curated experiences and services in 650 cities worldwide — think hip-hop wine tours in Portland and a Kansas City barbecue with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Why it matters: The company is going beyond what it is best-known for, arranging home rentals for travelers, to boost sales and compete with other travel services.
How it works: From the home page, search your city or the one you're visiting under the Experiences tab, select dates and the number of guests.
The intrigue: In Denver, the options are plentiful and reflect our best assets, namely the mountains.
The experiences include hiking with a local (minimum of $65 per person), curated wine pairing with Rioja's sommelier ($65), a pub crawl ($35) or e-bike tours ($75).
The services available include family photo shoots ($150 and up) and personal chefs ($120 per guest and up).
