Hotels Partner with Tesla to Offer Free EV Charging for Guests

Three properties in the Personal Luxury Resorts & Hotels portfolio now offer Tesla charging stations for guests who drive electric vehicles. Participating hotels are Bardessono in Napa Valley, California; The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe near San Diego; and Willows Lodge in Seattle’s wine country.

These properties are part of an expanding network of luxury lodging that participates in Tesla’s Destination Charging Program. Through this initiative, Tesla partners with hotels, resorts, and restaurants worldwide to provide High Power Connectors as a guest amenity, so visitors can conveniently charge their Tesla vehicles while they stay.

The Tesla Model S delivers up to 265 miles of range on a single charge, and the High Power Wall Connector can replenish a significant portion of that range in just a few hours. Specifically, Tesla’s High Power Wall Connectors add approximately 58 miles of range per hour to a Model S, making it easy to charge overnight and enjoy the same convenience Tesla owners experience at home.

By installing Tesla charging stations, these Personal Luxury properties enhance the guest experience for electric-vehicle drivers and support sustainable travel. Guests staying at Bardessono, The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, and Willows Lodge can plan longer trips with confidence, knowing they have reliable charging available on site. The partnership reflects a broader hospitality trend of offering practical amenities that meet the needs of modern travelers while reducing barriers to electric-vehicle adoption.

Each hotel integrates the charging stations into its guest services, ensuring that drivers have access to power during their visit. Whether travelers are visiting Napa Valley’s vineyards, exploring the San Diego area, or enjoying Washington state’s wine country, on-site Tesla chargers make it simpler to combine luxury accommodations with eco-friendly transportation.

For electric-vehicle owners, availability of destination charging is an important consideration when choosing lodging. Properties that provide high-power chargers enable faster top-offs and reduce the need to search for public charging stations, letting guests spend more time enjoying their stay and less time worrying about range. The Personal Luxury Resorts & Hotels properties that joined Tesla’s program demonstrate a commitment to guest convenience and environmental responsibility.
