This Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone is a reader review from Reader Robin.
2023 was the first year that the Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone was in full operation for the Formula 1 British Grand Prix.
Reader Robin stayed there for the race weekend and here is his experience review.
HGI Silverstone is located in the inner perimeter of the Silverstone circuit, situated on the Hamilton Straight. The world’s first starting line hotel!
Parking was provided and is right next to the hotel (super convenient – note: you will need a general access/paddock club pass to get through the circuit entrance gates).

Check-In
Having arrived on Friday morning, the first practice session (FP1) for Formula 1 was viewed from the hotel rooftop, knowing that check in won’t be possible until 3pm. The hotel and hotel rooftop itself provides another vantage point for the Silverstone circuit.
Hotel lobby:
Check-in was seemless and was allocated room 517. The design of the room key cards was neat and reflects the Hilton sponsorship with the McLaren team. The room itself was functional and has all the offerings that you would expect from a new HGI hotel (Crabtree and Evelyn shampoo/conditioner/shower gel)
The second free practice session (FP2) was viewed from a track-facing hospitality lounge (2 interconnecting rooms opened up, overlooking the Hamilton straight just after the start line).
Saturday VIP Paddock Club access was through the ‘Sky Bridge’ on the 4th floor of the hotel, direct to the Silverstone ‘Wing’ building.
Race day was viewed (pics below) from the same track facing the hospitality lounge as Friday afternoon.
For future races and trackside rooms/suites, please contact the hotel directly. In terms of client entertainment, a track-facing hospitality suite is an exciting option, and the hotel will cater to your needs accordingly.
Conclusion: For an unforgettable race weekend experience with ultra convenience, HGI Silverstone is the only place to stay!

I keep on getting emails from the Dollar Flight Club
Are they a con or worth joining ?

Very cool! Interesting article. What sort of prices are these packages?
Apart from a load of photos and a few words, I am none the wiser as to the hotel.
This was clearly an expensive stay as a package.
Would be nice to know about the food in the hotel for example, is the gym 24/7, how much is the laundry?
Lee,
I understand your comment about the food and may be the gym, but do you really need to know the cost of the laundry? The weekend will no doubt be into 5 figures and you worry about rinsing through your smalls?
I always enjoy Reader Reviews, especially if they’re a little bit different.
Thanks Robin
I agree with Lee….more info about Hotel needed please…detail about food, etc. Nice to see the pics to show the vista .
I thought it was great to see the interiors of this new hotel together with the Hilton/McLaren partnership theming and views from the rooms/rooftop.
Must have been tough to keep the review hotel-focussed with so much else going on!
Thanks for sharing Robin 🙂
As usual..prices not shown…????
That’s unfair Ron. Pretty much every hotel I’ve written about and the flights have prices on it. It’s a reader review and if a reader doesn’t want to state how much they paid they don’t have to. If it was a standard hotel price I’d add it, but obviously this isn’t.
