The Summit

A halo car, a route with nothing to solve, and a table at Burj Khalifa that already knows the occasion.

The Evening

Thirty seconds of the one drive with nothing to win. The rest of the evening is private, so the film politely excuses itself before dinner.

The storyline

How The Summit Unfolds

One route, one halo car, one table. No challenges, no clues and nothing to collect. The experience is the reward, and Sloane has seen to every detail of it.

  1. The tail light of a dark blue Rolls-Royce Ghost glowing at sunset, empty tarmac and city blocks behind it

    18:00 · Private Departure

    Everything has been prepared. Including, somehow, your playlist.

    Check-in done, you press Begin The Summit while parked, and Sloane welcomes you personally. The route, the car and the evening ahead, she explains, have all been arranged around you and your guest. There is nothing to solve and nothing to win. That is rather the point.

  2. The cabin of a Rolls-Royce seen from the rear, cream leather seats, a walnut dashboard and a starlit headliner

    18:15 · The Ascent

    Limited narration, your music, and a great deal of very expensive quiet.

    The predefined Summit route, in a Founder or halo car, with a playlist built around your taste and Sloane speaking only when there is something worth saying. Mostly she lets the car and the road do the talking. They are both very good at it.

  3. A red Ferrari on a wet road winding through a lit garden at night, a waterfall beside it and the Burj Khalifa glowing on the skyline ahead

    19:15 · Arrival At An Icon

    Burj Khalifa comes into view. So, discreetly, does your welcome.

    As the tower appears, Sloane builds the anticipation and walks you through arrival, parking and your host. You are welcomed by name, the car is taken care of, and you are escorted in. On the way a professional photographer takes your Summit Portrait, with your guest, the car or the tower.

  4. A black Rolls-Royce Ghost head-on at night, headlights lit, on a cobbled square with a stone fountain behind it

    22:30 · The Return

    Sloane has one last thing to say. Then the music takes over.

    Back in the car for a relaxed final drive, Sloane reflects briefly on the care behind the evening and hands the rest of the journey to your playlist. By the time you arrive, the car, the dinner, your guest, the occasion and your Summit Portrait are recorded in your profile and your Passport.

Debrief

Summit Reached

You come home with a portrait worth framing, a keepsake worth keeping, and the unusual feeling of having been looked after all evening without once noticing it happen. Check-out takes minutes. Dillon follows up tomorrow, discreetly, as Sloane would have wanted.

That is one of five. There are four more, and we have said too much already.
