This Silverstone hotel room overlooks the race track starting grid & costs £84
FORMULA One fans can wake up to trackside views of the iconic Silverstone circuit.
To celebrate the ‘Drive to Survive’ 5th season release on Netflix, the Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone have launched deals from £84 per room – although prices go up considerably on race days.
The hotel is the first and only trackside hotel in the UK.
The Hilton Garden Inn has more than 190 rooms, 75 of which face the track directly and get transformed into hospitality suites during the F1 British Grand Prix and British MotoGP.
The hotel is in a prime position on the start/finish straight, also known as the Hamilton straight.
This is also directly opposite the team’s garages so that you can see all the behind-the-scenes action.
All the rooms have free wifi, a flat-screen tv, a drinks fridge, tea and coffee-makers and air-con.
Trackside rooms and suites also have a trackside balcony or trackside views.
With 360-degree views of the racetrack and Silverstone Heritage Track, the hotel’s rooftop bar will also leave you speechless.
On the trackside, the BOX Bar & Kitchen offers all-day meals and drinks and has indoor and outdoor watching areas.
Once you’ve taken in all the track views at the hotel, you could head to the Silverstone Interactive Museum, which is right on your doorstep, and tickets start from £22.50 for adults and £13.50 for children.
At the museum, you’ll learn about the history of F1, see how the drivers’ outfits and cars evolved through different racing eras and even race the circuit yourself in the simulators.
If you’d like to get on the track yourself, Silverstone offers ‘Car Track Days‘.
On the day, you can race around the circuit as much as you want, with access to an open pit lane too.
Cheap stays at the Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone under £150 are available for most of the year – so they’re perfect for a thrilling staycation during any season.
Race day stays are much harder to get ahold of and have already sold out for this year.
The hospitality packages are still available; however, these start from £4,000.
For more unique stays in the UK, you can rent UK pubs with your mates and pull your own pints from £14pp a night.
You could even hire this UK party house with its own nightclub and games arcade.
And if you’re willing to travel a bit further, we also found Maldives-style overwater villas you can book for just £41pp a night, but they are much closer to the UK.
