You Can Stay at Monica and Rachel's 'Friends' Apartment For Just $19.94 a Night
Fans of the hit sitcom Friends will have the opportunity to stay at Monica and Rachel's iconic apartment for less than $20 a night.
The Friends Experience, an 18-room exhibit celebrating the beloved television series, has teamed up with Booking.com to offer what has been dubbed "The Ultimate Sleepover" ahead of the long-awaited reunion featuring the show's cast.
Fans can book an overnight stay at the space, located on East 23rd Street in New York City, for just $19.94—a nod to the year the show premiered on NBC.
The exhibit is full of props from the show, which ran from 1994 until 2004, giving guests the chance to reenact their favorite moments.
"With re-creations of the beloved television series' set— guests will relive Ross' infamously doomed sofa pivot, peek through Rachel and Monica's purple door, relax on Chandler and Joey's recliners after playing some foosball, explore newly added original props and costumes from the show and much more," Booking.com says in an ad. "It will leave guests gasping: OH. MY. GAWD!"
As part of the stay, guests will sleep over in a set recreation of the apartment where Monica and Rachel lived for a large part of the show's run. They'll also be treated to a custom tour, dinner and drinks and wake up to coffee and breakfast at the gang's favorite hangout, Central Perk.
They can also play a late-night game of Phoebe's Cab Escape Room and go on a Friends-themed scavenger hunt.
According to Booking.com, the highlight of the stay will be a private tour with a photographer to capture shots reliving "all the iconic moments that have defined more than 25 years of the famed television show."
Fans can book a nostalgic overnight stay for two for $19.94 from 10 a.m. ET on May 21. But they'll have to be fast—the apartment is available on a first come, first serve basis for two overnight stays on either May 23 or May 24.
However, The Friends Experience is open all year round for fans of the show to visit.
And the show's cast—Jennifer Aniston (Rachel), Courteney Cox (Monica), Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe), Matt LeBlanc (Joey), Matthew Perry (Chandler) and David Schwimmer (Ross)—will soon return to screens in Friends: The Reunion.
The HBO Max special will premiere on May 27, with special guests including David Beckham, Justin Bieber, Mindy Kaling, Reese Witherspoon and Malala Yousafzai.
