Anyone seen this?? From their website: stay one of their Signature Suites, and the package includes the use of a supercar of your choice during your stay...

Choices include Aston Martin, Audi, Lamborghini, Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes, Porsche, Jaguar, Range Rover and Bentley.

From £8000, and available until the end of the year

(Oh, and if Pistonheads need someone to write a review, I can be available...!!)

So you pay £8000 for two nights in a hotel
You're staying in a hotel slap bang in the centre of London
And you have a total mileage allowance of 200 miles (100 a day) without paying extra (as far as I can see from the T&Cs)

Driving into and out of Central London is IME a right pain, and would only be more so in a supercar. And the thing is, anywhere around London has a high population density, which tends to curtail opportunities to enjoy driving any car, still more a supercar.

It seems like an opportunity focused on enjoying other people's reactions, rather than enjoying the car's capabilities.


As a counterpoint, I hired a supercar in Shrewsbury and drove the Peak District and the North York Moors. It was a lot of money (not as much as this), however I absolutely got to experience driving the car properly on some great roads. As a car enthusiast, that's the sort of thing that sticks long in the memory.

You could add some really nice country house hotels to the itinerary and still come in well under half the cost.

Edited to remove brands that do not currently produce “Supercars”. Happy to Help.

I think the offer makes sense. When they dont have to bring their cars with a plane, a lot of CO2 offset will be saved.

The mileage will be fine. Two miles from Regent St to piss about near harrods, take showoff pics for instagram, two miles back.

But, they will always still bring their cars by plane - this offer will not include something like a Chiron or a Ferrari/Lamborghini in a minging spec/colour scheme that has been ‘specially’ selected.

Even they have diffrent tiers and for the less well off, this offer might be a viable option.
