A Hyundai hotel is under construction in the UK to promote reverse charging technology in the new Ioniq 5 in Europe. Despite the fancy name and modern idea, the place looks like a luxury campsite, powered only by the electric hatch’s batteries.
According to Hyundai, the hotel will open on October 19 in Essex, England, and will feature “excellent luxury rooms” that “offer everything guests would expect from a luxury boutique hotel.” With the announcement of the brand. However, what the cabins will contain to provide this experience has not been revealed.
Hyundai Hotel will have a bar and a restaurant inside. The brand promises an “innovative and sustainable menu, and a car fueled with ingredients harvested locally in Essex”. There will even be a café with the shade of the Ionic 5 for guests to enjoy.
For nighttime entertainment, Hotel Hyundai offers guests an open-air theater with a popcorn machine. Both devices will run on the Ioniq 5’s batteries, which will also provide other hotel amenities.
The big question is whether these cars will eventually need to be charged to run the Hyundai Hotel. The brand doesn’t specify how this will be done, or how high-demand appliances or heaters will work in the enclosure. What is known is that residents of Ireland and the UK region can compete for a free night at the hotel.
