Whenever I play Civilization, I usually opt for a Cultural Victory, as I find it most entertaining to turtle against my enemies and build a lasting, rich empire. In the case of Civilization VII, Hatshepsut, the God’s Wife of Amun, is the ideal Culture leader due to her bonuses:

+1 Culture per Imported Resource

+15 percent Production for Buildings and Wonders in Cities near Navigable Rivers

Pair with Egypt for a Culture-Economic powerhouse

Of course, Culture and Economic win conditions go hand-in-hand, and Hatshepsut’s boon rewards importing additional resources from outside of her empire. If you’re willing to venture into the world of diplomacy, building a trade network with surrounding players or Civilizations, you’ll find a Cultural Victory well within your grasp.
