BTS stayed at the Summitridge Manor while making their album Arirang. The lavish villa is in Beverly Hills and available on Airbnb. Here's what it costs.
BTS is creating history with their comeback album Arirang, which sold a staggering 4 million copies on its first day. The album topped international charts, surpassing the group’s previous first-week sales record, and its lead track, Swim, dominated iTunes in 90 countries.
A few days after the album's debut, the group also released a Netflix documentary – BTS: The Return – that offered rare behind-the-scenes access to their daily lives and the process of making the album. For a part of the documentary, BTS members – RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hop, Jimin, V, and Jungkook – stayed at a villa in Los Angeles. This is where they worked together on Arirang.
Inside the estate where BTS made Arirang
The Netflix documentary BTS: The Return offers a glimpse of the Los Angeles estate where the group stayed while working on their comeback album, Arirang. From spacious interiors to a private poolside theatre, the estate is available to book on Airbnb for those looking to experience a bit of pop history firsthand.
Tucked in Beverly Hills, California, the villa, called Summitridge Manor, is surrounded by landscaped grounds. The multi-storey estate has eight bedrooms, a library, seven beds, over 10 bathrooms, a pool room, a study area, and multiple shared areas. Large balconies overlooking the valley, equipped with garden furniture, add a rustic charm to the estate.
The luxurious details
The estate also features a lavish swimming pool and hot tub with sunbeds for relaxation, as well as a well-equipped home gym with a treadmill, stationary bike, yoga mat, and free weights for a workout.
The estate is reminiscent of a charming villa in the south of France, set on nearly an acre of lush greenery. While the facade follows a white-and-grey pattern with stone flooring, the interiors speak of modernity.
The multiple bedrooms and shared spaces feature wooden flooring, large windows to let in natural light, a modular kitchen, vibrant art, stylish chandeliers, modern bathrooms with windows that look out over the valley, and luxurious walk-in closets.
How much does it cost to stay in the villa?
According to the Summitridge Manor listing on Airbnb, guests must stay for at least a month at the estate. A 30-day stay at the villa would cost you approximately ₹1,33,58,208.
Arirang is dominating the charts
Arirang is dominating the charts, topping iTunes in 88 countries, including Italy, Mexico, and Sweden. In South Korea, Swim quickly rose to No. 1 on real-time charts like Melon and Bugs, with all tracks from the album entering Melon’s Top 100. The song maintained its top position for hours, underscoring its instant popularity.
