Surrounded by 500 acres of parkland in the glorious Kent countryside, you'd never guess that Thistle Brands Hatch is just 17 miles by road from the City of London. Close to the M25 and M20, it's also within easy reach of London Heathrow and Gatwick airports, the Channel Tunnel and the new Eurostar terminal at Ebbsfleet. In the glory days of the British Grand Prix, Brands Hatch was the center of the motor-racing universe. The legends who raced here - Clark, Cooper, Brabham, Hill - still lend their names to straights and bends on the famous circuit, which the hotel meeting rooms and many of the bedrooms overlook. 180 free on-site parking spaces. And with the Otium Health & Leisure Club, Thistle Brands Hatch is perfect for a weekend escape, or as a base from which to explore the Garden of England, as well as out-of-town business events.
