Bentley Motors has delivered four customised Bentayga EWB Azure SUVs to The Peninsula Hong Kong, enhancing the iconic hotel’s legendary chauffeur service. This prestigious partnership follows the successful deployment of bespoke Bentayga Hybrids at The Peninsula London, marking a significant expansion of Bentley’s presence in the luxury hospitality sector.
A Legacy of Luxury Meets Modern Innovation
The Peninsula Hong Kong, which opened its doors in 1928 and stands as the flagship property of The Peninsula Hotels, has chosen to elevate its guest experience with the addition of these extended-wheelbase vehicles.
The Bentayga EWB Azure models, renowned for offering the most spacious cabin in their class, represent a perfect fusion of comfort and sophistication that aligns seamlessly with The Peninsula’s commitment to exceptional service.
These remarkable vehicles emerged from a close collaboration between The Peninsula and Mulliner, Bentley’s prestigious in-house bespoke and coachbuilding division. The partnership has resulted in vehicles that not only meet the hotel’s exacting standards but also showcase the pinnacle of Bentley’s craftsmanship, all manufactured at the company’s renowned Dream Factory in Crewe, England.
Exquisite Exterior Design and Personalisation
The exterior of each vehicle showcases meticulous attention to detail, beginning with the signature Peninsula Green finish. This distinctive colour, specially formulated by Bentley’s master craftspeople in their Paint Shop, required precise colour-matching to achieve the perfect shade.
The sophisticated appearance is enhanced by painted brightware on the lower body and matrix grilles in the lower bumper apertures, creating a contemporary, monochromatic aesthetic.
Adding a touch of elegant contrast, the vehicles feature a distinctive two-piece coachline in Honey, which gracefully follows the power line and haunch of the Bentayga EWB’s profile. The design is completed with The Hong Kong and Shanghai Hotels, Limited emblem adorning the front doors, paying homage to The Peninsula’s prestigious heritage.
Interior Craftsmanship and Comfort
The interior of these bespoke Bentaygas represents a masterful blend of traditional luxury and modern comfort. The cabin features a sophisticated 4+1 configuration, predominantly finished in rich Saddle leather, complemented by contrasting Beluga leather elements across the door waistrails, dashboard, and steering wheel.
The warmth of Burr Walnut veneer provides a harmonious bridge between these two leather tones, appearing across the dashboard fascias, waistrails, and custom-designed picnic tables.
Attention to detail extends to every aspect of the interior, with Saddle-coloured embroidered Bentley emblems gracing all four seats. The vehicles are equipped with state-of-the-art Mood Lighting and Rear Seat Entertainment systems, enabling passengers to work or enjoy entertainment during their journey.
Bespoke Mulliner Touches
Mulliner’s expertise is evident in the numerous customised features that enhance the passenger experience. These include:
Specially designed towel bins and tissue boxes integrated into the rear door pockets, ensuring everyday luxuries are always within reach. Additional USB charging sockets have been thoughtfully placed in the rear cabin to meet modern connectivity needs.
The vehicles feature distinctive 70mm metal signage in multiple locations, including the rear armrests, picnic tables, front seat backs, and headlining. Custom-made ‘THE PENINSULA’ illuminated treadplates complete the exterior refinements.
A New Chapter in Luxury Transportation
The introduction of these vehicles in late November 2024 marks a significant enhancement to The Peninsula Hong Kong’s renowned chauffeur service.
Dr. Frank-Steffen Walliser, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Bentley Motors, expressed his pride in the project, stating: “On behalf of Bentley Motors, it was a pleasure to present these four magnificent bespoke Bentaygas to The Hon. Sir Michael Kadoorie and The Peninsula Hong Kong. The team of artisans at our Dream Factory in Crewe, England, which individually handcrafted and personalised these cars are rightly proud of the end result, and we are delighted that The Peninsula Hotels continues to adopt Bentleys into their chauffeur fleets.”
This collaboration between Bentley Motors and The Peninsula Hong Kong represents more than just a fleet upgrade,it symbolises the union of two luxury brands that share a commitment to excellence, craftsmanship, and exceptional customer experience. As these bespoke Bentayga EWB Azure models take to the streets of 1, they will undoubtedly set new standards in luxury hotel transportation.
