These 5-Star Hotels Offer You A Fine Car With Your Stay

Many swank hotels, seeking to lure travelers fond of cruising, stepping out or joyriding, are offering the finest of wheels to guests booking certain packages. Some are seasonal cars, some are offered for a limited time only to coincide with a promotion or event, and some are yours year-round.

Here are six good cribs and cars.

Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel – Maserati Levante

Guests staying in a Suite or Specialty Suite at this majestic, buzzing property will receive complimentary access to a 2019 Maserati Levante around Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, along with 2 complimentary tickets to the Petersen Automotive Museum to learn more about Hollywood's impact on the car culture.

They’ll also receive two complimentary tickets to the Petersen Automotive Museum, and don’t forget to check out new Hollywood Dream Machines: Vehicles of Science Fiction and Fantasy exhibition exploring the cult classic films and stories, bringing them to life through props, design drawings and physical vehicle models. They also offer 4 curated drives, taking you through the twists and turns of Mulholland Drive, along the magnificent, iconic Pacific Coast Highway and to the Petersen Automotive Museum. Book soon, though – the promotion runs through the end of October.

The Peninsula Beverly Hills, California - Rolls-Royce and Infiniti

Surrounded by tropical gardens on a stylish shopping street, this luxury property is 3.2 miles from Los Angeles County and 5.4 miles from the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The hotel’s complimentary house car drives guests within Beverly Hills and Century city in a choise ofa classic Rolls-Royce or another luxury vehicle, while guests who book any of the hotel’s elegant suites can take advantage of the “Suite Ride” promotion and enjoy complimentary use of one of the hotel’s stylish BMWs throughout their stay. The most recent addition is a fleet of Mini Cooper S Clubmans for those who choose to tool around on the relative down-low.

St. Regis, NYC - Bentley

All guests have access to the hotel’s house Bentley at the iconic St. Regis, which features rooms with 12-foot ceilings, silk wall coverings and chandeliers, sitting areas and Italian marble bathrooms as well as 24-hour personal butler service and one of the best reputations any 5-star property can enjoy. The car, however, has a dedicated driver, a smart move in the traffic-choked potholed streets of midtown. Guests may rent the car for private use but the car would be driven by a driver, not the guest.

Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail, Colorado - Mercedes-Benz

Travelers visiting this 5-star, ski-friendly hotel get use of a Mercedes-Benz, whether one of their SUVs or their SL-550, replaced each year so everyone gets a pristine model. You can drive around the general area at dawn and dusk and capture a plethora of Instagrammable moments, or let the hotel map out something specific if you wish. When you return, take advantage of their 121 guest rooms and suites, an all-season saline pool, a full-service, award-winning spa, and the world-class mountain steak house, Flame.

Limelight, Aspen, Colorado - Audi

Aspen is a snowlover’s paradise with its mountains, majestic gorges and winding roads, but in summer and fall, too, you’ll be drawn to their outdoor activities, arts and culture and celeb sightings. At the recently renovated Limelight hotel, guests are offered the use of an Audi Q7.

The arrangement is simple – you show up, check in, reserve the Audi when it suits you, sign a liability waiver and off you go, to destinations in or out of town, as long it takes two hours or less. Recommended when it’s winter: the glorious, scenic route of Hwy 82 with its panoramic views of mountains and wildlife. Otherwise, Independence Pass is a “can’t miss.”

Sea Island, Georgia – BMW

Located on the southeastern coast of Georgia, Sea Island features five miles of private beach, a Beach Club, tennis center, Yacht Club, Shooting School, and children’s programs, as well as three championship golf courses. With your stay, the property offers a variety of new BMWs from sporty to SUV. They have maps for you – but you may just skip them and take the long way home as there is so much to do and see. Cars are available on a first-come, first-serve basis, with up to two hours of driving available.

The Inn at Sea Island offers casual accommodations with access to many Sea Island amenities. Broadfield, a Sea Island Sporting Club and Lodge, offers seasonal hunting and fishing opportunities. Recent enhancements at The Lodge include six new cottages with 14 sleeping rooms, an oceanfront pool, pool house, and 18-hole putting course. Early 2019 brought an all-new, 17,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art Golf Performance Center.
