Rolls-Royce Receives Largest-Ever Fleet Order For Macau Luxury Hotel

If one were so inclined to visit Macau for a bit of gambling, they could hitch a ride to their hotel through one of the many cabs running throughout the city. However, those who will stay at entrepreneur Stephen Hung’s Louis XIII hotel upon its opening in 2016 will be able to paint the town red in a red Rolls-Royce.

Hung’s purchase of 30 Rolls-Royce Bespoke Extended Wheelbase Phantoms is not only the largest fleet order of such vehicles ever for the luxury automaker, but two of the fleet will be the most expensive units ever assembled.

Twenty-eight of the bespoke fleet will have plenty of interesting touches to the exterior and interior — likely designed to match the hotel through and through — including bespoke clocks from Graff Luxury Watches. The remaining duo will also boast added gold-plated accents decorating the Phantoms’ skin and interior space.

As for when one might be able to hitch a ride in one of these Phantoms, the fleet will go in service at the same time the Louis XIII hotel opens its doors in 2016. For its part, Rolls-Royce will have a hand in designing the parking and driveway spaces for the fleet to navigate, as well as train chauffeurs on how to properly drive and handle the bespoke vehicles.

    Not sure RR had 'Fireman Red' in mind when they started their 'Bespoke' offering...

    Wow, is that hotel really big enough that they need 30 of these things?!

  • Analoggrotto Tell us you're vying for more Hyundai corporate favoritism without telling us. That Ioniq N test drive must have really gotten your hearts.
  • Master Baiter EV mandates running into the realities of charging infrastructure, limited range, cost and consumer preferences. Who could possibly have predicted that?
  • Jkross22 Our experience is that the idea of leasing/owning an EV is better than the experience of getting a closer look at them and coming away underwhelmed.
  • Ajla I never thought I'd advocate for an alphanumeric but "Junior" is a terrible name.
  • Arthur Dailey So pay moving costs, pay penalties or continue to pay for space in the RenCen, and purchase all new furniture and equipment. Rather than just consolidating in place and subleasing. Another brilliant business decision.
