Former F1 tour bus of champions now for rent as a ‘7-star’ luxury motorhome


If “glamping” or outdoor adventure is your kind of fun yet you cannot stand the little bugs, humidity or simply just want a more upscale version of the outdoors then a luxury motorhome might be the thing for you.

And the most opulent, largest mobile home in UK happens to be F1 driver’s former tour bus turned 7-star hotel.

According to dailymail.co.uk:

Jenson Button’s old tour bus is being offered to hire as an £8,000-a-night ‘seven star’ hotel.

Fondly called the “Icon”, the motorhome is a  500 sq ft palace can accommodate up to 4 people. Andrew Morris, owner of Icon Experiences said ‘The Icon is a living piece of history. A unique motorhome, which was the first million dollar motorhome to be created. We do have preferential privileged locations both in the UK and throughout Europe but we’re more than happy to drive the Icon to the location of your choice.”

This swanky motorhome is said to be the largest and first million-dollar vehicle of its type in UK. For a cost of  £8,000 a night, the posh motorhome includes the following extravaganza as part of its ‘seven star’ hotel experience:

  • 42′ plasma TV
  • fully fitted American-style kitchen
  • a walk-in wardrobe
  • gold ensuite bathroom complete with gold taps and faucets
  • interior of leather from floor to ceiling
  • a Michelin star chef and a personal team of waiters for 24 hours
  • access to a helicopter, limousine and other luxury fixtures
  • champagne and complimentary hamper upon arrival

Aside from being used by Jenson Button during his 2009 championship year, Icon was also home to another Formula One world champion, Jacques Villeneuve.
