Ready to give fans the ultimate FRIENDS™ Experience ahead of the recently announced official reunion of the cast, an online travel agency for lodging reservations, Booking.com, has unveiled two officially sponsored overnight accommodations in New York City. Complete with recreations of the original set—like Rachel and Monica’s purple door, Chandler and Joey’s recliners, and Ross’ famously pivoted sofa—the rare FRIENDS™ Experience will also give lodgers the chance to indulge in themed scavenger hunts, coffee at Central Perk, a late-night game of Phoebe’s Cab Escape Room, and more.

As part of the one-night sponsored stay, guests can not only catch a glimpse of some newly-added original props and costumes from the show but also take a private tour with a photographer to capture and relive iconic moments from the famed television show. Plus, with regards to safety and hygiene, they’re ‘Monica Clean’!

Those who can’t clinch a coveted stay, however, can still book tickets for the experience at The FRIENDS™ Experience. Open in Chicago and New York, both, this experience recreates the same magic, barring the opportunity to stay overnight. Moreover, fans can also buy coffee and pastries at the grab-and-go cafe in Central Perk, and splurge on official merchandise from the show.
