A tycoon in Macau is to spend US $20 million to equip his new hotel with 30 Rolls-Royce Phantoms, the largest fleet ever ordered.
The deal with Stephen Hung was concluded on September 16 and among the 30 Bespoke Extended Wheelbase Phantoms are the two most expensive versions of the models ever commissioned.
They will chauffeur the guests of Louis XIII, located on the Cotai Strip in Macau, when it is opened in the first half of 2016.
“Macau is rapidly evolving into the luxury capital of the world and we are honoured to have the opportunity to add to Macau’s many distinctions, the world’s largest fleet of Rolls-Royce Phantoms, including the two most luxurious vehicles Rolls-Royce has ever built,” said Hung, the chairman of Louis XIII.
“Louis XIII and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars share the same philosophy: to deliver the perfect experience to the world’s most discerning customers.”

Louis XIII Holdings will pay Rolls-Royce US $2 million by the end September, a further US $3 million by the end of the year, and the remaining US $15 million upon delivery of the vehicles in the first half of 2016.
Each of the cars has been extensively customised by Rolls-Royce’s bespoke design team at Goodwood in the UK, working with Hung and the hotel to create distinctive vehicles. Among the features are bespoke clocks designed and created by Graff Luxury Watches.
The two most expensive Phantoms in the fleet will feature external and internal gold-plated accents.
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has also helped to design the parking and driveways to house the fleet at Louis XIII and will train the hotel’s chauffeurs in the appropriate driving and handling of the vehicles.
The deal was formalised on September 16 at a signing ceremony at the Rolls?Royce headquarters in Goodwood which was attended by Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Mueller-Oetvoes, Hung, the Rolls-Royce board, Louis XIII executives and a representative from Graff Diamonds.
“We at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars are delighted and honoured that Mr Hung has commissioned Rolls-Royce to provide the largest single order of Phantoms in history,” said Mueller-Oetvoes.
“The Louis XIII fleet of Phantoms promises to be one of most impressive sights ever seen in Macau when they arrive at the Louis XIII hotel in 2016. Mr Hung’s commission reaffirms Phantom’s pinnacle position as the motor car of choice for those seeking to experience the finest luxury the world has to offer.”
