Loews Hotels and FIAT to bring chauffeured FIAT 500Ls service to guests at five Loews addresses across North America

Chauffeured FIAT 500L service rolled out at five participating Loews Hotels, as three properties go even further with complimentary FIAT rentals for guests

NEW YORK, 2014-03-14 — /Travel PR News/ — Got someplace to go? Five participating Loews Hotels will get you get there in style, safety and comfort thanks to a new partnership with FIAT. The first-of-its-kind collaboration between the New York-based hotel group and the Chrysler-owned Italian automaker will bring chauffeured service in new FIAT 500Ls to guests at five Loews addresses across North America.

Chauffeur-driven FIAT 500L service will be rolled out March 4th at Loews Madison Hotel in Washington, D.C., Loews Regency Hotel in New York City, Loews Hollywood Hotel, Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel and Loews Miami Beach Hotel. Meanwhile, Loews Miami Beach, Loews Hollywood and Loews Santa Monica Beach will go even further, offering twocomplimentary FIAT 500L vehicles for guests to rent for the day during their stay. As any traveler who has tried to catch a cab or arrange a car in an unfamiliar city will tell you, that’s an offer too good to pass up!

Wherever they’re headed, the new four-door FIAT 500L is quite a ride. Fun, flirty, smart and stylish, the 2014 edition plays out as a sophisticated and affordable urban utility vehicle. With a 1.4L MultiAir Turbo Engine under the hood, six-speed transmission on the floor, expansive interior space, and admirable fuel economy of 33 MPG on the highway and 25 MPG in the city, the 500L is the perfect travel accessory exclusively for Loews guests.

The new partnership is an innovative move for Loews and FIAT alike, as the companies evolve and reach out to a new demographic – and a new lifestyle.

“Loews has never done anything like this before, and neither has FIAT,” noted Elizabeth Harlow, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Loews Hotels & Resorts. “Whether as a perk for business or an upgrade for pleasure, the FIAT 500L service is an amenity that speaks to our guests in a language they can appreciate and a style they deserve.”

Added Jason Stoicevich, head of FIAT Brand North America, Chrysler Group LLC: “The FIAT 500L is a lifestyle all on its own. We’re excited to offer guests a test drive as we build our brand along with Loews Hotels.”

Look for FIAT 500L service to be offered at additional Loews addresses down the road.
