These Fine Hotels Offer Guests A Fine Vehicle With Their Stay
Many upscale hotels, seeking to lure travelers fond of cruising, stepping out or joyriding, are increasingly offering fine sets of wheels to guests booking certain packages. Some are seasonal cars, some are offered for a limited time only to coincide with a promotion or event, and some are yours year-round. Here are some notable properties, and the wheels they offer.
The stately, one-of-a-kind Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs offers a 2025 electric Cadillac Lyric to guests. The only problem is you really aren't going to want to go anywhere once your bags are set down. You walk outside and take deep, satisfying breaths beside a placid lake, witness a swan or two dipping a beak here and there, and behold the always-majestic mountains. But should you wish to experience the lovely backroads of Colorado Springs, the Cadillac is there for you.

The property itself is comprised of a series of solid, hallowed dwellings originally put up in 1918 and aimed at heads of state, celebrities, professional sports stars and businesspeople, or all of them at once - there are 779 rooms, after all.
The Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows in Santa Monica has been a coastal icon since 1921, originally the private estate of a wealthy heiress before becoming a luxury hotel.

Guests can embark on adventures beyond the hotel grounds up to 3 miles from the oceanfront hotel, ranging from a day trip to the idyllic beaches of Malibu, strolls & carnival rides along the Santa Monica Pier or shopping on the famed Montana Avenue.

With vibrant pink, turquoise, and yellow exteriors, open-air sides, polished wicker seats and sporty striped canopy roofs, the 'Jollys' were built with obvious affection and exquisite care as a tribute to the Capri taxis and the rare Fiat 600. These (chauffeured!) cars come with thoughtful and indulgent touches like a picnic basket ready to be filled with wine, champagne, and hors d'oeuvres, plus Bluetooth connectivity for music. Available not just for daily use, the whimsical fleet also enhances special events like weddings and off-site picnics. The property also hosts some A-list celebs here and there.
Aspen is a snowlover's paradise with its mountains, majestic gorges and winding roads, but in summer and fall, too, you'll be drawn to their outdoor activities, arts and culture and celeb sightings. At the Limelight hotel, guests are offered the use of an Audi Q7 and Q8 e-tron.

The arrangement is simple – you show up, check in, reserve the Audi when it suits you, sign a liability waiver and off you go, to destinations in or out of town, as long it takes two hours or less. Recommended: the glorious, scenic route of Hwy 82 with its panoramic views of mountains and wildlife. Otherwise, Independence Pass is a 'can't miss.'
