Royal Ascot

Jun 19th - Jun 23rd 2012

Enjoy the very finest horseracing in this most famous of English settings where Royalty and the entire social spectrum of British society come together for this special occasion. Ascot is of course as famous for its fashion, and particularly its hats on ladies day, as it is for its racing!

There are no fewer than seven group 1 (championship) races including the Ascot Gold Cup. Winners of these races very much shape the rest of the season and can provide some useful pointers for the Arc meeting in France in October and (for American visitors) the Breeders' Cup in early November. Both Raven's Pass and Henry the Navigator were Royal Ascot winners before going on to dominate the Breeders' Cup Classic in 2008!

Let us pamper you for this special occasion. Stay in the best hotels just minutes away from the racecourse and enjoy our delicious pre-race Champagne picnic or we can arrange for a table in the Parade Ring Restaurant of the main Grandstand with its own balcony overlooking the parade ring. Make sure you get the best views of the Royal procession as they make their way to the Royal box!

This is high summer on the social calendar so why not make the most of it and stay for the Wimbledon Tennis Championship, Henley Royal Regatta or Polo at Guards Polo club, Royal Windsor.
