Where to Stay for the Cheltenham Festival 2027
The Cheltenham Festival returns Tuesday 16 to Friday 19 March 2027, four days of championship jump racing culminating in the Gold Cup on the Friday. It’s the busiest week in Cheltenham’s calendar, and accommodation near the racecourse books up months ahead — so the earlier you sort a room, the better the choice and price. Visiting at another time of year? Our places to stay page lists hotels and guest houses across the town.
The map below shows hotels and rentals with live availability for race week, and the table lists places to stay sorted by distance from Cheltenham Racecourse at Prestbury Park. Most visitors arrive the evening before racing and leave the morning after the Gold Cup, so the availability is set for the nights of 15–20 March — adjust to suit your plans.
- Booking links point to each property’s location and are usually accurate, but occasionally a link may open a nearby area search rather than the exact venue — please double-check the property name before booking.

Getting to the Racecourse
Cheltenham Racecourse is at Prestbury Park, about two miles north of the town centre. During the Festival there's a dedicated shuttle from the town and Cheltenham Spa railway station, park-and-ride services, and heavy road traffic around the course — so staying central or on the north side of town makes race-day mornings easier. The free light-railway and shuttle links run frequently on race days.
If you arrive at the station, a short walk up the honeybourne line footpath will take you most of the way, take the main roads if you need liquid refreshment or other faciliites en route.
Cocktail Tours UK run a shuttle from Cheltenham Spa station to the Racecourse, and Pulham & Sons operate a park-and-ride service from Cirencester. If you're travelling from further afield, National Express route 444/445 runs between Cheltenham and London Victoria. See our Cheltenham bus routes and service data page for the full list of registered routes serving the town.
