I’ve always wanted to say “Last weekend? Oh, I stayed at Francis’ place in Buenos Aires,” and now I can, because for just $550 per night (with a three night minimum), [rooms are now available for rental](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/byers-house). What do you get for the money? A [terra cotta-floored villa](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villa-yeppa) with an interior designed by Eleanor Coppola (Francis’ wife), animal masks and modern Argentine art, a solar-heated pool, a secluded garden, and a personal sommelier (the latter of which was notably missing during my recent stay at a Best Western in New Jersey). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Celebs](https://www.trendhunter.com/celebs) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Director-owned Vacation Estates:** More directors could create vacation estates for public rent, opening up a new segment in the hospitality industry. - **Luxury Artistic Interior Design:** Demand for artistic interior design in luxury accommodations could lead to more opportunities for artists and designers in the hospitality industry. - **Personalized Luxury Hospitality:** Personal sommeliers and other specialized hospitality services could become more common in luxury accommodations. ### Who This Affects Most - **Hospitality:** Hospitality industry could create a new segment of director-owned vacation estates for public rent. - **Interior Design:** Opportunities for artists and designers could increase with demand for artistic interior design in luxury accommodations. - **Wine and Beverage:** Demand for personalized sommelier services in luxury accommodations could create opportunities for specialized beverage professionals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cinema-Inspired Hotel Packages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/room-package.md) - [Pop Culture-Inspired Rentals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airbnb-3.md) - [Movie-Themed South American Vacations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/encantothemed-trip.md) - [Prestige TV Vacation Rentals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noto-villa.md) - [Whimsical Theater-Driven Stays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elphabas-retreat-airbnb.md) - [Prestigious Tuscan Boutique Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/borgo-san-vincenzo.md) - [Luxe Artist Residency Resorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lena-evstafieva.md) - [Film-Inspired Hotel Offerings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eat-play-love-campaign.md) - [Restored Historic Cliffside Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/borgo-santandrea.md)
