Stay in Liverpool – Right in the Heart of the Action
If you want to be right in the middle of the Grand National buzz, Liverpool is hard to beat. The city comes alive with an incredible atmosphere from morning through to late evening. The centrally located Leonardo Hotel Liverpool places you within easy reach of the city’s best bars and restaurants, and less than 30 minutes from Aintree. It’s perfect for those who want the full race weekend experience. Similarly, the stylish Maldron Hotel Liverpool offers a fantastic city-centre base, keeping you close to the celebrations while still providing a comfortable retreat after a big day at the races. Both packages include Saturday night accommodation, breakfast on Sunday morning, a complimentary Racing Post, return transfers to Aintree and your ticket to Grand National Day. Additional nights and extra race days can easily be added to create a longer racing break.
Stay in Chester – Relaxed, Great Value & Easy Transfers
If you’re looking for a more relaxed base with fantastic value, Chester is an excellent choice. Less than an hour from Aintree, it offers beautiful surroundings, great restaurants and a lively atmosphere after racing. The elegant Queen at Chester is a firm favourite. With its grand Victorian character and superb central location, it’s ideal for enjoying the city before and after the races. Another fantastic option is the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Spa Chester, offering modern comfort, spa facilities and the added benefit of free on-site parking. It’s a great choice for those wanting a little extra relaxation across the weekend. As with our Liverpool stays, your package includes Saturday night accommodation, Sunday breakfast, a complimentary Racing Post, return racecourse transfers and your Grand National Day ticket, with the flexibility to extend your stay if you wish.
One of the highlights of our packages is our Friday night drinks evening. It’s a relaxed, sociable way to begin the weekend providing a chance to meet fellow guests, enjoy a drink or two and really get into the Grand National spirit before the excitement of the races.
Whether you choose the energy of Liverpool or the charm of Chester, we’ll help tailor your experience to suit you.
