Guests at JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort and Spa will be able to explore the local area during their stay, with the hotel taking possession of two Jaguar I-Pace electric SUVs which are available for hire for chauffeured adventures around the city.
The vehicles will be available to take guests on escorted shopping trips, airport transfers or visits to local attractions or suppliers. Guests can utilise the vehicles on a first-come-first-served basis, with preference given to Marriott Bonvoy VIP and Elite members, who can pre-book the service.
The I-Pace model is an award winning vehicle, having claimed the 2019 title of World Car of the Year, World Car Design of the Year and World Green Car, further cementing its environmental credentials.
JW Marriott Gold Coast General Manager, Ravinder Dhesi, said: ““As the only JW Marriott hotel in the Pacific region, we are confident in attracting a growing number of domestic travellers around our country.
“The resort team is passionate about making a difference to the environment and will continually look at ways to improve our sustainability efforts with better facilities for our guests,” he said.

“JW Marriott guests will experience the most technologically advanced Jaguar available, along with levels of luxury and refinement that superbly match the ambience of the new JW Marriott resort,” Holley added.
“The Gold Coast is at the forefront of adoption of electric vehicle technology and the JW Marriott is the leading luxury resort to fast track this experience for their guests through the Jaguar I-Pace.
