If you’ve ever dreamed of waking up in the Eiffel Tower and looking out on Paris, your weirdly-specific dream is about to come true.
Vacation rental service HomeAway is running a contest to give four winners the chance to spend the night on the first floor of the iconic French structure as part of its sponsorship of this summer’s UEFA Euro cup.
According to HomeAway, it’s the first time anyone will ever get to spend the night in the tower, though that seems like a dubious claim. Either way, it’s certainly not something many people can claim. In order to win the chance, which also includes a three-night Paris stay in more “traditional” accomodations, contestants have to write about their plans and submit it to a panel of judges.
Once you’ve stayed in the Eiffel Tower, your baseline for an exciting stayover vacation is going to be through the roof, so to speak. You won’t be able to stay in any old hotel room anymore. You’re going to want something unique, something rare, and something exciting.
So after you spend the night in the Eiffel Tower, perhaps only a night in these special spots will do.
The Empire State Building
Plenty of people go up to the top of the Empire State Building every day, but none of them get to camp out on the observation deck overnight. Bring a sleeping bag, pick a nice summer night and fall asleep to the noise of New York City before waking up to the stunning view of that skyline.
