Sonja Vodusek , Managing Director of The Peninsula London : “ Discovering a destination in comfort and style is a key feature of The Peninsula guest experience . We ’ re delighted to include London ’ s iconic LEVC Taxi within The Peninsula London ’ s luxurious , liveried fleet of guest transportation . The careful conversion and detailed customisation by Clive Sutton ’ s team will ensure this legendary London experience feels elevated and enjoyable .”
With a view to taking guests to locations throughout the capital , the hotel specified a switchable panoramic glass roof to maximise sightseeing potential , plus a large fridge that can accommodate several bottles of champagne or wine , alongside soft drinks . The high-end guest experience continues with Rolls-Royce motorised door closure and tan-coloured Bentley leather .
Clive Sutton , founder and CEO : “ As the world ’ s only authorised luxury conversion partner to LEVC , it is an immense honour to have our VIP taxi chosen by The Peninsula London . Our bespoke conversion of this London icon enables guests to enjoy the ultimate British experience in five-star comfort befitting the exclusive environment at The Peninsula London .”
The two VIP taxis in the hotel ’ s 13-strong vehicle fleet feature seating for up to five guests . The generously upholstered rear seats offer two luxury chairs plus a central seat or arm rest with drinks holder . Against the central bulkhead , two fold-down occasional seats extend capacity to five and flank the extra-large drinks fridge . To enable the driver to interact with guests and explain the sights of London with ease , the hotel specified a bespoke bulkhead to open up the cabin , removing the privacy glass of the typical taxi design . Elsewhere in the rear cabin , guests can enjoy thick-pile carpet , colour changing ambient lighting , on-board Wi-Fi , and real wood trim .
