The Peninsula New York and The Peninsula Chicago have unveiled two customised MINI Cooper S Clubman vehicles.

Guests who book a suite at each hotel will have free access to a MINI for up to three hours per day during their stay.

Each car is specially fitted with a tailor-made rooftop box providing extra cargo space, a mini-fridge offering complimentary refreshments, and an iPhone.

The chauffeured vehicles can be used for shopping excursions or sightseeing around Manhattan and Chicago.

The Peninsula New York’s Chef Concierge Frederick Bigler and The Peninsula Chicago’s Chef Concierge Todd Nelson have developed a series of self-guided three-hour motoring tours for guests to enjoy.

Guests can direct the driver as they wish within the city limits (within Manhattan in New York), or use the sample tours provided by the Concierges.

The features include: a custom-illuminated Peninsula logo on door entry sills, leather finishing to match the existing Rolls-Royce interiors, and the signature Peninsula Green colour that adorns every vehicle in the hotel’s transport fleet.

The MINIs first debuted at The Peninsula Hong Kong in December 2009, and the tradition now continues this November at The Peninsula hotels in New York and Chicago, with Tokyo in January 2011.
