Airbnb’s announcement marked a clear strategic shift from one-off platonic ideals to scale: the company is now selling rental cars, partnering with Instacart for grocery delivery, expanding into headline experiences like the Eiffel Tower and Tower of London, and significantly broadening its hotels push beyond the boutique inventory it first introduced pre-pandemic.

Airbnb introduced the grocery service on May 20, 2026, and the feature is currently available in over 25 U.S. cities. After check-in, guests can place Instacart orders directly through Airbnb and choose when they would like their groceries dropped off. Some rental locations even allow hosts to take guests' orders and stock kitchens before the guests check in for their stay. Choosing to have the kitchen stocked in advance will come at no additional cost to the guest - in fact, Airbnb customers get $10 off orders of $50 or more.

For about $200 a night, the barrel had a living space, a king-sized bed, and a ton of storage hacks. My barrel came with access to a garden with luxury perks like wood-fired saunas and hot tubs.

For a low-key weekend break in the UK, taking over a whole building via Airbnb is a brilliant option: lots of space to spread out in, no other guests to worry about and the chance to really live like a local.

And while the convenience and amenities of a hotel stay may be tempting, renting an Airbnb just off the beaten path is an even better way to experience the city like a local. The bustling capital encompasses a dynamic mix of cultural sights, impressive culinary experiences, and globally-renowned shopping landmarks-from the vibrant Harajuku district to the Edo-era Senso-ji Temple-that make it one of the most bucket-listed travel destinations in the world.
