SLS VIPs Travel In Luxury JetVans

-- Hotels, 9/1/2008

SBE commissioned Becker Automotive Design to provide exclusive Becker JetVans for the 297-key SLS Hotel at Beverly Hills, a Luxury Collection Hotel, scheduled to open in November. The two new US$300,000 JetVans, which are modified Mercedes-Benz passenger vans, will transport VIP guests in luxury.

The JetVans feature custom LED lighting and styling cues by SLS lead designer Philippe Starck, with European leathers, wool carpeting and Black Piano wood treatments. A raised roof allows guests up to 6-foot-2 (1.8 m) to stand, and a rear compartment offers seating for up to eight full-sized VIP guests. A 40-inch (102-cm) LCD monitor hangs in the rear of the interior, equipped with DVD player, satellite TV reception and Internet connectivity.
