Best Options for Luxury Hotels Near Silverstone During the British GP

The British Grand Prix is a high-demand race and a must-see event. If you’re planning on going, here are five options for the best luxury hotels near Silverstone Circuit.

If your first question is where is Silverstone, let’s cover that.

The Silverstone Circuit is located south of the town of Silverstone, Northamptonshire. Nearby are the towns of Towcester and Whittlebury, as well as the cities of Northampton and Milton Keynes. So it’s fair to say that the circuit is well connected.

And with that comes various options for hotels, should you be looking for one while you are attending the F1 British Grand Prix.

Here, we have listed five great options for hotels near Silverstone that will ensure your Grand Prix weekend experience is more luxurious than ever.

Moxy Milton Keynes: Unique, Stylish, Modern

The Moxy Milton Keynes is a brilliant option for every demographic. It is a stylish and modern hotel that has amenities for everyone, and with a Formula 1 theme, it is a great starting place for this list.

With a games zone for the kids and a cafe-by-day-cocktail-bar-by-night vibe in the restaurant for the adults, this hotel is perfect if you’re coming with the family or with your friends.

Located in the city of Milton Keynes, it is 11.7 miles away from the circuit, which is a half an hour drive.

However, being placed in Milton Keynes has the benefit of a bus service that runs on the Grand Prix weekend which will drop you just a short two-minute walk to the circuit entrance.

The Saracens Head Hotel: Quirky Brilliance

This 400-year-old hotel is a feature of the old Roman town of Towcester. Owned and run by the Greene King Inns company, renowned for its high-quality pubs and hotel stays, you know you’re in good hands with this one.

At the Saracens Head Hotel, you can expect home-from-home comfort, great hospitality, 21 bedrooms to choose from with fabulous decor in each room, and most importantly, it's located just five miles away from the circuit - that’s a short seven-minute drive. Talk about a luxury hotel near Silverstone!

The brilliance of this one is the beauty of staying in one of England’s most historic towns, being one of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements in the country. The hotel itself is situated on Watling Street, which was one of the main Roman roads in Britannia.

It is worth checking out the local museum while staying to find out the rich history behind this fascinating town.

The Red Lion: Authentic British Stay

Being located in the English countryside, Silverstone has various options for hotels that will give you an authentic British experience. The Red Lion is one of the best around.

This pub/ restaurant with rooms is located in the picturesque village of Hellidon, Northamptonshire. It is 13.6 miles from the Silverstone circuit, but the trip is worth it.

What you get at this quaint establishment is a fantastic dining experience with friendly staff, cosy rooms and, best of all, a pub dog named Percy!

There are seven bedrooms on offer so you’ll have to be quick to book here for the GP weekend. But definitely do so if you can, it is highly recommended.

Mercure Milton Keynes: Contemporary Luxury

The Mercure Milton Keynes is a four-star modern and contemporary delight.

Located opposite the Abbey Hill Golf Centre, one of the various golf clubs in the Silverstone area, you are guaranteed stunning views from either one of the 103 newly refurbished bedrooms.

The bar and restaurant boasts a fantastic menu which guests can enjoy, the staff are always friendly and available to help, and its location gives it a tranquil and calming feel, meaning you will have a truly premium stay.

Being in Milton Keynes, like the Moxy, it is 15.4 miles away from the race track, so the use of the bus service on race weekends could be necessary.

Fawsley Hall Hotel & Spa: Gorgeous Countryside Retreat

Finally, we have the Fawsley Hall Hotel & Spa, situated in the countryside hamlet of Fawsley.

Grandeur and opulence awaits you in this beautiful country house hotel, where you can spend your days and nights living like a monarch - and that is meant literally. Kings and Queens from Britain’s past have enjoyed the hospitality this fine establishment has to offer.

Away from everything, anything, anyone, you are in for a treat with this peaceful hotel, with formal gardens and landscaped parkland surrounding to treat you to the most relaxing stay possible.

In terms of distance from the Silverstone circuit, it is no longer than if you were coming from Milton Keynes. It is 13.1 miles away, so you’d have around a 30-minute drive to the track.

Fair warning - this one is very much on the pricey side, but believe us when we say it is worth every penny.
