The Peninsula Hong Kong, the hotel chain’s flagship which opened in 1928 has added four Bentley Bentayga EWB Azure cars to its fleet. Its London establishment added four Bentayga Hybrids to its own fleet in 2024 and thus created the partnership between these two luxury icons.
The four cars were specified by The Peninsula in conjunction with the Design team in Mulliner, Bentley’s in-house bespoke and coachbuilding division. These designs were executed by the artisans at Bentley’s Dream Factory in Crewe and produced a result that is instantly recognizable as a Peninsula vehicle.
Starting with the wellness-focused Azure specification for maximum onboard comfort, the team specified the unique exterior shade of Peninsula Green, mastered from sample by Bentley’s Paint Shop. The rich, dark green extends to painted brightware to the lower body and the matrix grilles in the lower bumper apertures, bringing a clean, modern, colour-blocked look. The dark tone is offset by a two-piece coachline in the golden tone of Honey, with the two lines tracing the power line and haunch of the Bentayga EWB’s side profile. The front doors then feature The Hong Kong and Shanghai Hotels, Limited emblem, the parent company of The Peninsula Hong Kong and owner and operator of The Peninsula Hotels
The 4+1 configuration interior is a modern interpretation of classic Bentley themes. The majority of the cabin is trimmed in Saddle leather, with contrast Beluga leather being used atop the door waistrails, across the top of the dashboard and for the steering wheel. The warm tones of Burr Walnut pair the two leather colours perfectly, used across the dash fascias, along the waistrails and to a pair of veneered picnic tables to the backs of the front seats.
Embroidered Bentley emblems in Saddle are added to all four seats, and the cars feature Mood Lighting and Rear Seat Entertainment – allowing rear cabin occupants to work, browse the internet or stream content on the move.
Final Mulliner touches include bespoke towel bins and tissue boxes fitted to the rear door pockets, additional USB charging sockets in the rear cabin, 70mm metal signage in the rear armrests, picnic tables, front seat backs and headlining, and bespoke ‘THE PENINSULA” illuminated treadplates.
The four cars commenced service late 2024 as part of The Peninsula Hong Kong’s immaculate chauffeur service.
