From UFOs to Hobbit Holes: 10 Whimsical and Unique Airbnbs You Can Stay In

What started as a way to rent spare rooms has blossomed into a global movement of hospitality, sharing everything from unique dwellings to architectural landmarks. For architects and designers, Airbnb represents more than accommodation; it is a vast archive of architecture where buildings are admired and experienced.

What makes Airbnb especially fascinating is the way people convert their homes or design them into entirely new ones to invite guests in. Some owners adapt industrial relics, others handcraft whimsical cabins, while a few design experimental structures from the ground up.

Here’s a closer look at 10 incredible Airbnbs you can stay in, with insight into their architectural magic and the people who brought them to life.
