How the platform’s shift from bookings to full-service travel could reshape guest expectations – and what it means for hotels

May 15, 2025

Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky has unveiled a bold new vision: transforming Airbnb from a booking platform into the “perfect concierge” — a one-stop solution that combines accommodation with on-demand lifestyle services such as massages, personal chefs, and haircuts, all delivered directly to the guest’s rental. This evolution signals a shift toward a more holistic travel experience, one that traditional hoteliers may need to monitor – or mirror – as guest expectations evolve.

Key takeaways

  • Airbnb is redefining guest experience: By integrating beauty, wellness, and catering services into its platform, Airbnb aims to meet more of the traveler’s needs – not just where they stay, but how they experience their stay.
  • From booking platform to lifestyle platform: Chesky’s goal is to make Airbnb indispensable beyond vacations – positioning it as a weekly utility, not just an annual indulgence. Hotels that focus only on rooms risk being left behind as full-service expectations rise.
  • AI as the invisible but essential layer: Airbnb is rolling out an AI-powered customer service agent, with long-term ambitions to offer AI-driven trip planning – another sign that automation and personalization are merging to shape guest journeys.
  • Trust is the new currency: Airbnb’s future offerings, including potential childcare services, highlight the company’s push to deepen trust – a key area where hotels still hold an edge. But that advantage could erode if tech platforms bridge the gap.
  • Takeaway for hotels: As Airbnb builds a seamless, service-rich ecosystem around the guest, hoteliers may need to rethink their own ancillary service strategies – not just offering services, but integrating them smoothly into the booking and stay experience.
