The Cheltenham Festival runs over four days each March at Prestbury Park, and it's one of the busiest weeks of the year in the town.
Book early
Hotels in and around Cheltenham fill up well ahead of Festival week. If the town itself is full, look a little further out — you'll often find more choice and an easier drive.
Race-day traffic
Roads into Cheltenham are very busy on race days. Leave earlier than you think you need to, and plan your route back too.
What to check before you book
- Does the hotel have parking, and is there a charge?
- Is parking guaranteed or first come, first served?
- How long is the drive or transfer to the course on a race day?
- Driving electric? Turn on the EV Charging filter and confirm with the hotel.
