Famous cars sold well to deluxe hotels
On March 2 and 3, two German car
manufacturers, Mercedes Benz and BMW handed over eight BMW 730Li and
five E250 cars to the five-star Sofitel Legend Metropole hotel in Hanoi
and the five-star Sofitel Saigon Plaza hotel in Ho Chi Minh City.
The 3.9 billion VND BMW 730Li and 1.8 billion VND E250 cars are also equipped with high-speed wireless Internet systems.
The
General Director of the Sofitel Saigon Plaza, Philippe Godard, said
that using deluxe cars to serve customers is included in the hotel’s
comprehensive upgrading plans and that the luxurious image of the hotel
pledges to bring the best products and provide the best service quality
to customers.
Meanwhile, General Director of Sofitel Legend
Metropole in Ha Noi Kai Speth said that the cooperation will help
customers enjoy comfort from an excellent room of Metropole to a deluxe
car seat.
Earlier, by the end of 2010, Caravelle Hotel in HCM
City bought two E-Class cars which each cost between 2-2.5 billion VND.
These are Caravelle’s first cars before a batch of Mercedes Benz joins
the hotel’s transport fleet in 2011.
At present, BMW cars have
been chosen for the Sheraton Saigon Hotel, Sheraton Nha Trang Hotel,
Movenpick and Hilton Hanoi Hotel while Mercedes Benz cars have been used
by the InterContinental Saigon, Windsor Plaza Hotel, Park Hyatt Saigon
and New Horizon Hotels.
The race is predicted to become fiercer
with the presence of another German brand Audi, which has a similar
price to a BMW or Mercedes Benz./.
