Banor Capital completes takeover of ‘irreplaceable’ Silverstone Hilton

A Banor Capital-managed vehicle has acquired the Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone – a purpose-built hotel situated trackside to the British Grand Prix racing circuit.

The East Midlands 197-bedroom hotel, which boasts unrivalled views of Silverstone’s start/finish line, winners’ podium and international pit lanes, first opened in 2022. The hotel also offers direct access via footbridge to the Silverstone Wing – the largest conference and event facility between London and Birmingham.

JLL Hotels & Hospitality Group advised on the deal, which was completed by a Banor Capital managed vehicle in conjunction with Ian Corfield and Simon Baggs of FRP acting as joint administrators.

JLL head of UK national hotels Kerr Young said: "The restructuring of the Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone represents one of the largest single asset transactions in the UK during 2026.

"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."

Banor Capital executive director Lorenzo Guidi added: “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.

“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."
