Banor Alternative Assets completes the restructuring of the Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone in landmark UK deal

JLL Hotels & Hospitality Group has advised on the successful restructuring and sales process of the Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone, a 197-bedroom purpose-built hotel situated trackside at the world-famous Silverstone Circuit. The complex transaction, completed by a Banor Capital managed vehicle, in conjunction with Ian Corfield and Simon Baggs of FRP acting as Joint Administrators, marks one of the largest single asset hotel transactions in the United Kingdom during 2026.

Located on the iconic Hamilton Straight at Silverstone Circuit in the East Midlands, the hotel offers unrivalled views of the British Grand Prix start/finish line, international pit lanes, and winners' podium. The property opened in 2022 and is directly connected via footbridge to The Silverstone Wing, the largest covered conference and event facility between London and Birmingham.

"The restructuring of the Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone represents one of the largest single asset transactions in the UK during 2026," said Kerr Young, Head of UK National Hotels at JLL. "This is a genuinely irreplaceable asset; the combination of a globally recognised brand, a long-term income profile, and an unparalleled trackside position at the home of British motorsport generated exceptional competitive interest from both domestic and international institutional capital."

Young continued: "Beyond the obvious appeal to racing fans, investors immediately recognised the property's robust, year-round demand. Its seamless integration with The Silverstone Wing creates a massive, combined corporate events hub that commands a major market share between London and Birmingham. Securing this transaction underscores the deep pool of liquidity still targeting premium, defensive leisure and hospitality assets that offer true operational resilience."

Lorenzo Guidi, Executive Director for Banor Capital and Portfolio Manager of Banor Alternative Assets commented: "Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone is a truly unique hospitality asset, occupying one of the most iconic locations in global motorsport while also establishing itself as one of the UK's most distinctive year-round hotel and conference destinations. Since opening, the hotel has delivered increasingly strong operational performance, with demand extending well beyond the major race calendar and demonstrating the strength of its diversified business model.

The combination of an internationally recognised Hilton brand, direct trackside positioning and seamless integration with The Silverstone Wing has created a highly resilient hospitality platform, benefiting from growing corporate events, conferences, leisure and motorsport demand throughout the year. We have been particularly impressed by the continued growth in year-round trading, which reflects the success of Silverstone Circuit's strategy to broaden its visitor offering and further develop The Silverstone Wing as one of the UK's premier conference and events venues.

We are delighted to support the next phase of the hotel's growth and look forward to working closely with Hilton and Silverstone Circuit to build on this momentum, further enhancing the guest experience and capitalising on the significant opportunities presented by the continued expansion of both the circuit's international visitor numbers and its corporate events business."
