Four Seasons Hotel Boston Unveils Exclusive Driving Experience with Lucid, Bridging History and Sustainability

Just in time for spring and summer vacation touring, Four Seasons Hotel Boston has unveiled a new driving experience in partnership with Lucid Group, maker of the world’s most advanced electric vehicles. This initiative, part of a larger partnership between Four Seasons and Lucid, seamlessly blends history, culture, and sustainability, offering guests an unparalleled way to explore New England in the comfort of a state-of-the-art, award-winning electric Lucid Air sedan.

The partnership between Four Seasons and Lucid reflects a shared dedication to sustainability and innovation within the luxury hospitality sector. With growing traveller demands for flexible and eco-friendly experiences, this initiative provides an effortless way for guests to explore Massachusetts from coast to countryside with zero direct emissions, all from the comfort of Lucid’s groundbreaking electric car.

Hotel guests may reserve a Lucid car on a complimentary basis for self-guided excursions of storied destinations located within an easy drive of the hotel, selecting from a collection of signature driving routes designed by the knowledgeable Four Seasons Boston Guest Experience team. Each route guides guests to the region’s most storied and picturesque destinations while benefitting from the Lucid Air’s 512-mile (824 kilometre) EPA-estimated range*, allowing for unhurried exploration and spontaneous detours.

“We’re passionate about connecting guests with the rich cultural tapestry that makes New England special,” says Jeanne Lynch, Guest Experience Manager, Four Seasons Hotel Boston. “Our collaboration with Lucid allows guests to journey from Louisa May Alcott’s writing desk to historic coastal lighthouses in unparalleled comfort at their own pace. The routes have been designed to reveal hidden gems that make this region truly remarkable.”

Signature Driving Routes

Departing from the hotel’s prime location overlooking the Public Garden, guests can embark on one of three meticulously designed routes, each showcasing a distinctive aspect of New England’s cultural and historical landscape:

• Famous American Authors: A literary odyssey west from Boston to the charming and historic town of Concord, Massachusetts. The 21-mile (34 kilometre) drive winds past country farmstands and features visits to The Old Manse, Orchard House, The Wayside, Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, and Walden Pond - landmarks that shaped the works of literary icons such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Louisa May Alcott, among others. Orchard House, where Louisa May Alcott penned Little Women, offers the rare opportunity for guests to reserve two hours in the author’s bedchamber to write, read, and reflect - a truly immersive connection to America’s literary past.
• North Shore – Castles & Gardens Adventure: A scenic one-hour drive north to the coastal towns of Gloucester, Ipswich and Marblehead showcases stately homes and unforgettable ocean views. This journey features stops at Herreshoff Castle, Long Hill, Hammond Castle Museum and the grand seaside Crane Estate at Castle Hill. A short drive from Ispswich is Essex, Massachusetts, home to tidal river views, fresh seafood and a plethora of shops and dealers offering some of the state’s best antique hunting.
• South Shore – Beacons of the South Shore: This 40-mile (64 kilometre) maritime heritage journey to historic seaside communities includes stops at Scituate Lighthouse, Duxbury Pier Light, Gurnet Light, and the iconic Plymouth Rock.
