The Hilton Garden Inn hotel at Silverstone is taking bookings

Back in September 2018, we wrote that Hilton had announced plans to open a Hilton Garden Inn overlooking the Silverstone motor racing circuit in Northamptonshire.
Hilton has a slightly odd niche in stadium hotels. In the UK, it already has Hilton at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton, the catchily named Hilton Garden Inn Manchester Emirates Old Trafford and the Hilton Garden Inn Doncaster Racecourse amongst others.
Silverstone was due to open in early 2020, but stuff happened.
The hotel is now taking bookings. It includes a rooftop terrace and will offer raceday hospitality experiences for all the major sporting events held at the venue. It will also have direct access to the Silverstone conference centre.
It is situated on Silverstone’s International Pits straight, with extensive views over the track. You will be able to enjoy views of the circuit from the guestroom balconies.
Whilst blocked out for the British Grand Prix, it is taking bookings from 12th September for other dates. Track facing rooms and suites (suite pictured below) are available for the British Touring Car Championship on the 24th-25th September, for example.
