The
Hotel Icon in Hong Kong has reduced its carbon footprint with the introduction of a fully electric transportation
fleet, consisting of an electric hotel shuttle bus, two Tesla
Model S and a BMW i3.
The
eBus, which is equipped with leather seats with
seatbelts, air purifiers and individual passenger lights, whisks guests from Hotel
Icon to Tsim Sha Tsui on a half
hourly basis.
Guests staying for two nights or more
in an Above & Beyond ‘Club’ guestroom or suite can enjoy
complimentary Tesla airport transfers, while the cars also serve
as a paid transfer option for other guests.
“We couldn’t be prouder to introduce Hong Kong’s first electric
hotel shuttle bus. Together with the Tesla Model S and the BMW i3,
the hottest electric cars on the road, we provide our guests
luxurious, sleek and efficient transportation options,” said Richard Hatter, General Manager of Hotel
Icon. “Electric vehicles aren’t just
a marketing ploy or gimmick, they’re fundamentally the right thing
to do and sit perfectly with our philosophy of running a property
that is sustainable wherever possible.”
Charging stations will also be accessible for individual drivers
of electric cars to recharge at the hotel.
