Hilton will make its debut at the UK’s premier motor racing venue and has signed a management agreement with Bricks Capital Ltd to open Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone.
The 197 guest room hotel, which is due to open in 2020, will include a rooftop terrace and offer raceday hospitality experiences for all the major sporting events held at the venue. The hotel will enhance the circuit’s offering outside of the race calendar and have direct access, via a cross-circuit footbridge, to The Silverstone Wing Conference Centre – Silverstone’s iconic event venue, with 12,500 square metres of flexible space for up to 3,000 people.
Built on the site of a World War II Royal Air Force airfield, Silverstone is the internationally-renowned home of British Motor Racing and sits at the heart of Motorsport Valley – a region of the south Midlands and Oxfordshire that is the home to a cluster of globally successful motorsport teams.
The new build hotel will be constructed on Silverstone’s International Pits straight, with extensive views over the track. Along with a rooftop terrace, the hotel will include a restaurant and coffee shop, while guests will be able to enjoy views of the circuit from the comfort of their guestroom balconies.
Silverstone will be the latest sporting venue to host a Hilton branded hotel. Globally Hilton operates more than 30 stadium hotels and in UK locations such as Hilton Ageas Bowl, Hilton Garden Inn Manchester Emirates Old Trafford and the soon-to-open Hilton Garden Inn Doncaster Racecourse.
Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone will be located at Silverstone Circuit, Towcester, Northamptonshire, NN12 8TN.
