A Spice Girls super-fan has converted the Spice Girl's iconic Union-Jack bus into an Airbnb - and fans from Bristol could be amongst the first to climb aboard.
Long-time enthusiast Suzanne Godley has recently listed the original Spice Bus from the hit 1997 film on the accommodation website, giving fellow fans the chance to relive the celebrated film in all it's girl-power glory.

The recently renovated living area features pink Union Jack cinema chairs below a ‘Girl Power’ neon light installation, and is fully stocked with vintage 90s magazines and CDs to help recreate the 90s era.

With bold interiors, potted plants create a fresh homely feel downstairs while bright colourful scatter cushions surround the central seating area, providing a comfy place for guests to relax and spend time with each other.
Upstairs there’s a dressing area where guests can decide whether to wear the little Gucci dress, the little Gucci dress, or... the little Gucci dress. The adjoining bedroom, fitted with a striking animal-print carpet, provides comfy bedding for three guests who get to call the Spice Bus home for the night.
Host Suzanne said: “The Spice Girls were my childhood obsession. My parents were subjected to my tone-deaf performances as Baby Spice, and I must have watched the Spice World movie hundreds of times.
"And while I have grown up over the years, I don’t think I’ve ever grown out of my love for them.

“When my boss mentioned that he was considering buying the Spice Bus I was desperate to be a part of its renovation. We’ve worked hard over the past few months to turn the bus into a home, in keeping with its legacy, and I’m so excited to open it up to the public with the support of Airbnb.
"Being part of this project has been like a dream come true and I can’t wait to meet other Spice Girls fans through this experience.”
As with all Airbnb bookings, the listing comes with a set of rules, however the Spice Bus offers something a little different:
'I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want:
- No pets
- Maximum three guests
- No smoking
- 90s dress code
- Double denim permitted
- Girl Power essential
- Selfies in the driver’s seat encouraged
- Compulsory rendition of ‘Goodbye’ on check out'
The bus will be located in Market Square, off Olympic Way in Wembley Park and available to book for Friday 14th and Saturday 15th June for just £99 a night. The bus sleeps three guests maximum.
Given the high level of interest anticipated, Suzanne will be adding available dates from 8AM BST on Wednesday 22nd May, to give as many fans as possible the chance to book.

This summer, Wembley Park, where the bus will be stationed for the duration of the stay, is running a free outdoor summer screening programme from 31st May to 23rd July during which a series of iconic films will be shown, including Spice World on 13th, 14th and 15th June.
Hadi Moussa, General Manager for Northern Europe at Airbnb said: “Whether travelling to a new city or re-discovering a familiar destination, Airbnb is all about helping people find unique and unforgettable travel experiences.
"Being one of the first people in the world to stay in the iconic Spice Bus is a dream come true for any fan and a once in a lifetime way to spend time with friends or family.”
