A one-of-a-kind hotel experience is set to open its doors in the Essex countryside – powered entirely by electric cars. The unique accommodation, in the secluded countryside of Ongar, Essex, is the world's first car-powered hotel, with all electricity harnessed through an adaptor from the Hyundai Ioniq 5.
It comes as a quarter of Brits (26 per cent) revealed that they prefer to enjoy a staycation in the UK, as it is less stressful than travelling abroad. And guests will certainly get the chance to relax and unwind at Hotel Hyundai – which offers a locally-sourced, sustainable menu, mixology-curated drinks, and picturesque views of the forest.
There is even a cinema on site to help guests really escape from the outside world. The new concept was launched by the car brand alongside broadcaster and critic Grace Dent – after research of 2,000 holidaymakers found 44 per cent would like to go on more staycations in 2023 compared to 2022.
