At The Peninsula Hotels, transportation goes far beyond conveying guests from one point to another; it is an extension of the brand’s commitment to luxury, service, and cultural authenticity. Whether gliding along the Bosphorus aboard a custom-built luxury motor yacht in Istanbul, arriving for a special event by chauffeured Rolls-Royce in London, or soaring above Hong Kong’s skyline via private helicopter, guests can experience the art of exceptional transport at any point during their sojourn.
Below, we have highlighted five signature transportation experiences that showcase The Peninsula’s gateway cities, including two brand-new additions. Each journey is designed to delight guests from the very first moment and create lasting memories throughout their travels.
NEW: Luxury Motor Yacht Experience at The Peninsula Istanbul – Launched in July, the custom-built PEN 1 luxury motor yacht offers breathtaking Bosphorus cruises. Guests can enjoy handcrafted cocktails and premium Turkish wines while taking in breathtaking views of Istanbul's landmarks – perfect for both daytime exploration and romantic sunset voyages.
NEW: Six bespoke Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended saloons at The Peninsula Hong Kong – Introduced in April, six custom Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended vehicles elevate the arrival experience with illuminated grilles, LED dashboards, and massage-capable seats – whether heading to a gala or exploring the city in style, these vehicles redefine the art of chauffeured elegance.
Iconic Brewster Green Rolls-Royce fleet – The embodiment of a 55-year partnership, now featuring 25+ customised vehicles worldwide. These luxury cars have become so legendary that even movie characters remark on them; as one says in the James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun, “Everyone knows all the green Rolls-Royces belong to The Peninsula”.
Destination-specific experiences – Each city’s transport reflects its cultural heritage: Bangkok’s teak riverboats echo traditional rice barges used for centuries and its iconic tuk-tuk offers a lively, open-air way to explore the city’s vibrant streets; Manila’s Jeepney pays homage to post-war Filipino ingenuity with air-conditioned interiors; Paris’s 1967 Citroën 2CV evokes classic French charm; and Chicago’s 1946 Packard Clipper offers a nostalgic ride through The Windy City’s architectural legacy.
Sustainable luxury innovations such as the Bentley Bentayga Hybrid, BMW i7, and electric taxis at The Peninsula London demonstrate the brand’s commitment to environmental responsibility without compromising exceptional guest comfort or style.
