Three years out, tourists already splurging on mansion rentals for 2028 Olympics

"Instead, interested parties have claimed their spot for most of the year. One client, for example, has rented out a 39,000-square-foot mansion with nine bedrooms, four kitchens, a gym, a spa, a movie theater, a pickleball court, a basketball court and a team of three maids from January to August 2028. The price tag: $300,000 per month, or a $2.4 million total stay."

"There are only so many homes of this size in L.A., and people want to secure their spot as early as possible, he said. The Beverly Hills-based firm owns 14 mansions across Los Angeles, including homes in Beverly Hills, the Hollywood Hills and West Hollywood. Three have already been locked down for the Olympics, though the rentals aren't just for the two weeks of July 2028 when the Games will be taking place, according to the Times."

"Utilities are covered as part of the cost, which could provide some reprieve, as they're usually about $25,000 per month including heating the pool. LuxJB's listings start at $1,900 per night for smaller five-bedroom villas and reach up to $150,000 per month for larger mansions. If you're an Olympic federation from a specific country, you'll be here all year training athletes before the Games begin, Stark said. If you're a major sports brand, you'll want a presence in L.A. before and after July."

Luxury rental firms in Los Angeles are receiving steady inquiries and reservations for mansions tied to the 2028 Olympics. Clients are reserving properties for months or most of the year rather than only the two-week Games window. High-end listings include ultra-large estates with numerous amenities and staff; one 39,000-square-foot mansion with nine bedrooms, multiple kitchens, sports courts, a movie theater and a team of maids was booked January to August 2028 for $300,000 per month. Utilities can add roughly $25,000 monthly. Inventory ranges from $1,900 per-night villas to $150,000 per-month mansions, and committees and brands seek spaces for training, media, and presence.
