Royal Ascot 2026 accommodation Windsor is in high demand. The event takes place from 16 to 20 June and if you are still looking for somewhere to stay, you need to move quickly. Accommodation near the racecourse fills up months in advance and the options that are left are either overpriced hotels or places too far out to be convenient.
There is a better option.
Stay in Windsor, 10 Minutes from the Racecourse
Windsor is the obvious base for Royal Ascot. The town sits just under 4 miles from Ascot Racecourse, making it a straightforward drive or taxi ride each day. More importantly, Windsor gives you something the racecourse hotels cannot: a proper town to come back to each evening, with restaurants, riverside walks, and one of the most famous castles in the world right on your doorstep.
Our apartment on Thames Street sits directly opposite Windsor Castle in the heart of Windsor town centre. It sleeps up to 7 guests across 4 bedrooms, which makes it ideal for a group of friends making a week of it.
Why Groups Choose Windsor for Ascot Week
Royal Ascot is not a solo trip. Most people go as a group, whether that is old friends, work colleagues, or a family celebration. Splitting a large apartment between 6 or 7 people works out significantly cheaper than booking individual hotel rooms, and you get a proper base to get ready together, debrief over dinner, and enjoy the week rather than just survive it.
Our apartment has a fully equipped kitchen for breakfasts and late suppers, a spacious lounge with original Georgian features, and four individually styled bedrooms each with their own character. The gold marble bathrooms are, frankly, a good match for the occasion.
What to Expect During Ascot Week in Windsor
