First look: Luxury trackside hotel and residences to open at Silverstone in 2024

The first luxury trackside hotel and clubhouse at Silverstone Circuit in Northamptonshire is set to open for guests in spring 2024.

Escapade Silverstone will feature 60 apartment-style ‘residences' with between two and four bedrooms overlooking the racetrack for guests to stay in overnight.

The £90m, 14-acre development is expected to launch in time for the 2024 British Grand Prix, when Formula 1 makes its annual trip to Silverstone.

Guests will be able to watch the racing from private balconies and roof terraces or a clubhouse with sightlines of nine of the racetrack's corners, including the Copse and two high-speed straights.

The ground floor of the clubhouse will house a 15-metre trackside swimming pool with floor to ceiling windows, a ‘driver-focused' gym, sauna and treatment rooms.

British-inspired dishes will be served in the on-site restaurant, which will also feature private dining areas and a roof terrace looking down on the circuit.

Escapade Silverstone will run a year-round calendar of events, including track days, live entertainment, business hospitality and club meets, as well as a rotating art programme. The racetrack's event space hosted the 2023 Michelin Guide Great Britain and Ireland star revelation ceremony earlier this year.

Stephen Nash, general manager of Escapade Silverstone, said: "The clubhouse provides guests, drivers and their teams with the chance to come off the track, power down and connect with like-minded individuals. The space celebrates Silverstone's rich heritage and elevates its innovative future."

While the development is designed to act as a year-round hospitality experience, some of the two, three and four-bedroom residences will be available to purchase.

Bookings for Escapade Silverstone will open 14 November
