After repeated lockdowns, the urge to escape without accommodation constraints is stronger than ever. The campervan is freedom! Renault Design has chosen the new Renault Trafic to imagine a nomadic life with all the space, comfort and modularity necessary for all journeys, presenting the Hippie Caviar Hotel.
“Hippie Caviar Hotel was born with the desire to escape, to experience nature in an idyllic setting with all the comforts and amenities of a 5-star hotel,” explains Louis Morasse, Renault LCV design director.
Premium Design
The Hippie Caviar Hotel is built around the new Renault Trafic. It consists of a cabin at the front, in a glittery water-green colour called “Almond Flakes”, and a room at the rear in “Anodised Silver Grey”. The design is inspired by five-star hotel rooms, refined and rich in natural materials.
A leather band enhances the wicker-effect dashboard. Using materials such as exotic wood, natural linen and wool, and plant-based foam is a nod to nature. The Japanese paper-effect “washi” paints add architectural and contemporary style. The colours and materials embody the optimism and freedom of the 1960s.
Hippie Caviar Hotel offers a bench seat that can be converted into a comfortable bed positioned outside or inside the vehicle. In the “contemplation” position, the open tailgate and its draperies provide privacy and protection from the weather. In the “cosy” position, the bench seat and the corner armchair create a lounge area.
The rooftop terrace, complete with a coffee table and two removable backrests, offers another view of your surroundings and makes for a perfect platform to watch the night skies.
Concierge Service
Renault suggests that the Hippie Caviar Hotel will offer a “select” experience with services worthy of a five-star hotel: delivery of a logistics container (shower, lavatory, electric recharging point, etc.) to the location chosen by the customer, and a concierge service providing goods delivered by drone on the roof or “contemplation” bench.
Every detail has been considered to offer a five-star campervan experience when demand is exploding.
Price and Availability
The Renault Hippie Caviar Hotel is nothing more than a concept and won’t be making it into production. If you want to see the Trafic-based luxury campervan in person, it’ll be viewable at the Düsseldorf Caravan Salon Show
