Where is The Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone?

The hotel sits trackside at the Northamptonshire racetrack, Silverstone – home to the British F1 Grand Prix

You can’t get any closer to the action without racing boots and a helmet.

The hotel sits 15 miles west of Milton Keynes and there’s free parking on site, if you choose to drive.

What is The Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone like?

The hotel is an absolute paradise for Formula 1 fans – get ready for uninterrupted sight lines as racers scream around Club Corner.

There are bespoke hospitality packages on big F1 and MotoGP weekends, but it’s open all year round and there are races of all kinds nearly every weekend.

The design of the hotel itself isn’t anything spectacular, but it’s being so close to that hallowed tarmac that gives this place a real buzz.

Its newly opened roof terrace offers sweeping 360-degree circuit views so you can grab a bite and a cocktail here, and soak up the atmosphere in style.

The mezzanine-level BOX Bar & Kitchen is open all day for delicious stonebaked pizzas, steaks and nibbles.
