Heathrow to Leonardo Royal Hotel – Premium Chauffeur Transfer in a BMW i7

Luxury Arrival at the Leonardo Royal Hotel, Southampton – Chauffeur Service with Style

There are few better ways to start your cruise or short break in Southampton than arriving at the Leonardo Royal Hotel in a sleek, fully-electric BMW i7. This transfer from Heathrow Airport was the perfect example of Plus Chauffeurs' dedication to excellence, comfort, and sustainability — all wrapped up in one journey.

Positioned at the edge of Southampton’s buzzing waterfront and just moments from the city’s cruise terminals, the Leonardo Royal Hotel is a favourite for cruise passengers and business travellers alike. It offers everything from comfortable rooms and impressive dining to fantastic accessibility for pre-cruise stays or executive meetings.

This particular job was a private transfer from Heathrow Terminal 5 to Southampton’s West Quay area. Our driver met the client in the arrivals lounge, assisted with luggage, and escorted them smoothly into the plush cabin of our BMW i7 — the pinnacle of electric luxury motoring.

The Vehicle: BMW i7 – Comfort Meets Clean Energy

Our BMW i7 is equipped with everything a long-distance traveller could want:

  • Whisper-quiet cabin for rest or conversation

  • Onboard climate control

  • Long range electric performance

  • Discreet but powerful executive styling

It’s the perfect fit for the discerning client who values both luxury and low emissions. And for airport-to-hotel transfers like this, it makes the journey feel like a reward rather than a necessity.
