London Savoy
LA Beverly Hills Wiltshire Hotel
Paris Four Seasons George V

Do you mean the hotel limo service for a fee or do you mean courtesy vehicles for short complimentary trips?
AFAIK the Peninsula HK vehicles are limos for which you must pay, although there could be some packages that include airport transportation or you might get complimentary rides as a benefit of booking certain suites.
In LA, other luxury hotels such as Raffles Hermitage do offer local free limo service for very short trips, so it wouldn't surprise me if the Beverly Wlitshire does the same, probably within about three miles of the hotel and certainly not including the airport..

FS London use 2 RR-Ghost. I know some hotels with one RR like RC Berlin or Schloss Bensberg. Also Burj Al Arab of course. If I´m right they have 10 (at least in 2009, perhaps more today)

Ritz-Carlton Tokyo
Dhara Dhevi Hotel
Personally, I am fine with a Mercedes S-class, BMW 7 series or similar, so I almost never pay a premium for RR or Bentley. I am very happy if I get upgraded to one however
Also, I prefer RR Ghost or Bentley to Phantom.
No car in the world could convince me to stay at The Plaza.
As well as at least two new Phantoms.

A previous attempt to catalog the hotels that provide Rolls Royce (Phantom) transfers:

There are a number of mentions in the individual hotel threads.

My impression is that the OP is asking about hotels that have these vehicles "standing by" for short trips, especially as part of a hotel-owned fleet with drivers who are hotel employees.

That would be correct. The reason I asked was because I read an article about the Louis XIII buying a fleet of 30 Phantoms, including 2 of the most expensive RR has ever built. I was wondering how many other hotels had them.
