But The Hemingway’s al fresco elegance doesn’t come cheap.
The bigger 55-qt option costs an astounding $799. Business & Pleasure Co. also sells smaller, 35-qt sized versions of the coolers for $599 for those who need less can space or want to spend less.
For perspective, Yeti’s slightly bigger 65-qt Tundra haul retails for less than half ($375) the cost of The Hemingway. Adding a matching Tundra seat cushion to keep the feature set comparable adds an extra $150, which is still $275 less. And there are plenty of other solid roto-molded coolers from different brands that are even less expensive.
It’s also worth mentioning that powered 12-volt coolers from industry leaders like Dometic are also available for $799, though they hold less and clearly have different target consumers in mind.
Business & Pleasure Co.Still, the cost of The Hemingway is also a drop in the bucket compared to a summer in Mongi.
It should also be mentioned that Business & Pleasure Co. counts hotels and other hospitality-focused businesses as customers. This might partially explain why its pricing feels far beyond the rest of the market. At least don’t be surprised if you spot one at a resort.
Business & Pleasure is currently selling white, dusty pink, navy and sage green color options in both sizes directly on its website.
