Jeffrey van Vorsselen, Managing Director of The Langham says the Lexus will be used for the hotel's limousine service and are an ideal choice as the cars epitomise style and excellence.

"We are delighted to have the two Lexus LS460 cars as our new hotel limousines, as they are an elegant extension of The Langham experience for our guests. The Lexus are ideal for our chauffeured transfer service that we offer from the hotel or airport and also around the city. I am positive our guests will very much enjoy the new LS460 and their many benefits," says Mr van Vorsselen.

Debbie Pattullo, Lexus Manager, Lexus New Zealand says she is delighted The Langham has grown its concierge fleet partnership by choosing the new Lexus LS460 limousines.

"It is fantastic that the many visitors to Auckland for the rugby finals will have had the chance to experience Lexus' latest premium vehicles, and going forward, that Langham guests can savour the Lexus experience of superb performance and luxury styling," says Ms Pattullo.

The LS460 cars have a quiet, spacious and luxurious interior, allowing guests to relax in style, safety and comfort. There is four-zone climate control air conditioning, massaging, vibrating back rear seats, a cool box and rear seat sun shades for discretion or shade. In addition, there is also Mark Levinson Audio with 450w and 19 speakers for concert hall clarity, paired with 9" remote control operated HD screen for DVD, CD, USB rear seat entertainment.

"Enthusiasts around the world know Mark Levinson as providing the ultimate in high-end audio. Lexus collaborated with this group of audio professionals who have built a legacy on their dedication to sound, to develop an audio system specifically tuned for Lexus. The system features 19 speakers positioned throughout the vehicles' interior to deliver the best possible acoustic characteristics in each seating position," says Ms Pattullo.

The LS460s are powered by 5 litre V8 engines, and have full-time all-wheel drive. Passengers travel in supreme comfort thanks to the world's first eight-speed automatic transmission, and Lexus' Adaptive Variable Air Suspension System, which responds to constant on-road feedback.

The Langham started working with Lexus in 2008 when it provided the hotel's first fleet of cars as part of the hotel's range of luxurious guest services.
