Hotel ICON Provides Electric Limousine Service

Hotel ICON

Starting today, Hotel ICON will offer guests limousine service seven days a week in a top-of-the-line rear wheel drive Tesla Model S 85, a premium electric vehicle that delivers an exhilarating performance with electric dual motors. For guests wishing to travel between the Hong Kong International Airport and Hotel ICON, they simply need to arrange it at the time of reservation or ring the concierge.

'We are pleased to introduce a new limousine service that is a treat for both our guests and the environment,' said Richard Hatter, General Manager of Hotel ICON. 'The Tesla Model S is equipped with the most current amenities and communications. Guests can relax and enjoy world-class comfort while travelling.'

California-based Tesla built the world's first electric premium sedan, Model S, with a range of 265 miles on a single charge. With a rigid body structure, nearly 50/50 weight distribution and a remarkably low center of gravity, Model S offers the responsiveness and agility expected from the world's best sports cars with the ride quality of a luxury performance sedan. Hotel ICON's Tesla Model S 85 accelerates from 0-100 in just 5.6 seconds.

On top of the Tesla limousine, the hotel purchased its first zero emissions motor, BMW i3. Starting later this year, Hotel ICON will also launch electric shuttle buses to support environmental transportation.
