HomeAway has unveiled an exclusive Eiffel Tower Apartment on the opening night of UEFA EURO 2016. Created in less than 48 hours, the space will host four overnight groups of contest winners from four different countries.
Contest judges chose the winners from more than 150,000 entries that answered, "What would you do if the HomeAway Eiffel Tower Apartment was all yours for a night?"
"We had a big idea to create a HomeAway where no one would believe possible, and now the day is here to make the 'Eiffel Tower All Yours," said Mariano Dima, Chief Marketing Officer for HomeAway. "We can't wait to share the apartment that floats 57m above Paris with the lucky overnight winners, thousands of soccer fans, tourists, and special guests who are invited to enjoy it as well."
HomeAway's guest designer for the temporary apartment, Benoit Leleu, drew inspiration from the Parisian Haussmann style and combined it with modern touches. With just two days to turn an empty conference room into a temporary living space, Leleu created a comfortable living area, an urban greenhouse, and two bedrooms all featuring furnishings by Italian design house, Lago.
Each winner will bring up to five guests and will enjoy a night filled with quintessential French activities and cuisine. They will spend three additional nights in Paris at a luxurious HomeAway vacation rental.
