The Chauffeur Fleet
A fleet of silent electric saloons and a team of drivers who know which Southbank lane actually moves at 5 pm — airport runs, day hires and the long way home, all tracked to your flight.
Airport from A$220 · Day hire from A$180/hr · Flight-tracked
The Quiet Way Through Melbourne
The fleet is fully electric because a hotel that sells calm shouldn't idle loudly at its own door. Every car is detailed twice daily, stocked with still and sparkling, and driven by someone trained to know when conversation is welcome and when it isn't.
Airport transfers are flight-tracked — land early and the car is already there; land late and the price doesn't move. Day hires turn Peninsula wineries and Great Ocean Road into door-to-door afternoons.

What Sets It Apart
Fully Electric
Lucid and Mercedes EQS saloons — silent, smooth, and charged overnight on our own solar-fed supply.
Flight-Tracked
Your driver watches the tail number, not the clock — early landings and delays are absorbed without a call.
Vetted Drivers
Every chauffeur is police-checked, first-aid certified and signed to the house's confidentiality standard.
Local Routing
Drivers carry real local knowledge — the lane that skips Hoddle Street, the back way to the airport, the scenic one when time allows.
Eleven cars, one standard — already waiting
Booking a Car
Three quiet steps — the desk handles everything between them.
Tell the Desk
App, concierge or a note in your reservation — destination, timing and any stops along the way.
Meet at the Door
The car waits at the porte-cochère, cooled or warmed to the weather, with your name on the driver's manifest.
Ride on the House Record
Charges post to your suite — no cards in the car, no paperwork, no surge pricing ever.
Every Journey Includes
Water, chargers, Wi-Fi and umbrellas live in every car — the small things are the service.
- Flight and traffic tracking
- In-car Wi-Fi and charging
- Still and sparkling water
- Child seats on request
- Suite-billed pricing
- Discreet NDAs where required
A transfer shouldn't be the boring bit between the airport and the hotel. It's the first page of the stay.

Before You Book
The three questions the desk hears most — answered plainly.
Airport transfers need two hours' notice in practice, though the desk often manages less. Day hires and Peninsula runs want 48 hours.
Yes — multi-car shuttle plans for events are quoted by the events desk, including a dedicated coordinator on the day.
Two vehicles are configured for wheelchair access with trained drivers — note requirements at booking and the right car is assigned.
