The extended stay suites are fresh and contemporary with ice-white, spa-like bathrooms, designer light fittings and sleek wooden workstations – for when the trip is about business as much as pleasure. If you’re travelling with a group, it’s ideal, as the hotel hosts weekday evening socials –and there’s a pool for a post-race cool-off.

After thrashing your friends at the track, make sure you’re in pole position for the waffles at breakfast.
