IT’S ALL ABOUT FUN IN A MINI AT THE PENINSULA BEVERLY HILLS

Iconic Luxury Hotel Now Offers Guests the Use of Two Chauffeured MINI Cooper S Clubman Cars

Located in the heart of a city famed for shopping, The Peninsula Beverly Hillsnow offers guests a fun new way to zip to and from the area’s finest boutiques: chauffeured in one of the hotel’s two new customizedMINI Cooper S Clubman cars.

The Peninsula Hotels has a long history of providing stylish rides for their guests, beginning with the flagship Peninsula Hong Kong’s fleet of 14 Rolls-Royce Phantoms and four 1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom IIs, all finished in signature Peninsula Green. The Peninsula Beverly Hills offers guests complimentary chauffeured service in its own Rolls-Royce Phantom and a fleet of luxury sedans. The Peninsula Hotels recently collaborated with BMW, the parent of the Rolls-Royce and MINI brands, to create a custom-made MINI Cooper S Clubman, now available in all of its U.S. hotels. The Peninsula MINIS feature custom-illuminated Peninsula logos on the door entry sills, supple leather seats and finishes and the signature Peninsula Green exterior color. Each car is also specially fitted with a tailor-made rooftop box for carrying packages, a mini-fridge stocked with water and cold towels, and an iPad or iPhone to add to guests’ convenience.

Guests at The Peninsula Beverly Hills can enjoy a chauffeured ride in one of the two MINISanywhere in Beverly Hills or Century City by prior arrangement with the Concierge. In the month of December, the hotel will transform the MINIS – decked out in bright red holiday bows – into modern-day sleighs, carrying donated gifts to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.
