MANHATTAN — Guests of Hotel Gansevoort will soon be chauffeured around Manhattan in style, as the hotel group made a deal with Porsche to provide guests complimentary in-town car service with a fleet of 2011 Porsche Panamera 4S sports sedans.

Those staying at both the Hotel Gansevoort's Meatpacking District and recently opened Park Avenue South locations will have access to the swanky new car service.

"We are committed to providing our guests with an unparalleled hospitality experience from start to finish, and are thrilled to extend that philosophy to our choice of guest transportation," said Elon Kenchington, the COO of Gansevoort Hotel Group, in a statement.

Viewing New York City from the inside of the Panamera 4S, which retails for $94,700, is quite an upgrade from your standard New York City yellow cab.

"We're looking forward to transforming the perception of city driving for Gansevoort Hotel Group guests," Detlev Von Platen, president and CEO of Porsche Cars North America, said in a statement.

The new service is expected to be available beginning Aug. 15.
