Chill like the Woodstock revival and luxurious like a 5-star hotel on the Champs Elysées - this is how Renault describes its Hippie Caviar Hotel, which will be presented at the Düsseldorf Caravan Salon. The all-electric camping van concept offers comprehensive comfort features as well as details such as a delivery drone, aiming to elevate outdoor leisure to a new level. At the same time, the Hippie Caviar Hotel provides a preview of upcoming Renault VIP vans and the first all-electric Renault Trafic, which will make its market debut in 2022.
60s Meets Estafette
The front of the Renault Hippie Caviar Hotel comes from the Trafic. With its two-tone paint job, the show car is reminiscent of the legendary Estafette in its camping version and the 1960s, a time when open-air vacations got a significant boost. According to Renault, the interior is inspired by the design of a 5-star suite: The driver’s area, featuring natural materials such as leather, wood, linen, and wool, is finished in the green shade "Almond Flakes," while the rear area in anodized silver-gray is meant to exude a lounge character.
Chilling in Your Own Lounge
For relaxing hours, the 145 x 195 centimeter double bed is designed to ensure comfort, which can also be set up outside the vehicle. With the tailgate open, you get a real tent feel during the night's rest, while curtains protect against indiscreet glances and inclement weather. In the "cosy" position, an interior seating group in a lounge style is created. The rooftop terrace, accessible via a foldable external ladder, offers a view of the starry sky and is equipped with a low lounge table and two folding chairs.
Concierge Service and Delivery Drone
The 5-star premium package is complemented by the mobility services at the Hippie Caviar Hotel: Upon request, a logistics module with a wet cell, sanitary facility, and charging station is transported to the desired parking space. Online orders can also be placed with the concierge service, which are then delivered directly to the rooftop terrace by drone. Bicycles can also be delivered to explore the surrounding area by bike.
