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.

What is there to do at The Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone?

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.

You’re also a stone’s throw from the award-winning Silverstone Interactive Museum too.

A mecca for fans, you can learn the circuit’s fascinating history and wow at the winning cars of former Brit heroes (all Hilton guests gain discounted entry).

You’re also a short drive from the gardens of Stowe, Silverstone Distillery and Bicester Village, if you find time to escape the excitement of the track.
