Formula 1 fans, ready your engines. With the first checkered flag of the 2024 season set to fly this weekend, Mandarin Oriental Exclusive Homes is going flat out with the launch of a new F1 package. In partnership with Stay One, Mandarin Oriental Exclusive Homes is offering guests a chance to stay at two of its UK properties for the week leading up to the 2024 British Grand Prix, set to take place over the weekend of July 5 – 7.
The package – which costs £180,000 ($228,000) – gives guests the choice of town or country as they can opt to stay at either the Cirencester Estate for a rural retreat or Regent’s Park Mansion in the heart of London. On the all-important race days, guests will be whisked away to Silverstone via helicopter transfer, in partnership with private charter service Victor. There they will enjoy a pit lane walk before the race begins, before settling down to watch the excitement unfold with an all-access pass to the renowned Paddock Club, offering some of the best views from above the team’s garages.

After all that exhilaration, guests can return to their choice of Mandarin Oriental Exclusive Homes property, where, no matter whether they choose to stay at Cirencester Estate or Regent’s Park Mansion, the Mandarin Oriental’s stellar service is on hand to help guests unwind. A private chef service – vetted and approved by Mandrian Oriental’s culinary experts, of course – can be arranged during the guests’ stay. Additional details of the package include luxury car transfers, with champagne and canapes awaiting, and a dedicated concierge who can design a bespoke itinerary to ensure every minute off the race track is equally thrilling.
Since launching in 2022, the partnership between Mandarin Oriental Exclusive Homes and Stay One has provided a hand-picked collection of the world’s most luxurious private homes. Each property offers the polished services and amenities that you would find in any of the company’s five-star hotels but with the privacy of having an entire property to yourself. With twice-daily turn-down service, on-demand culinary experiences and a suite of luxury amenities, the only thing guests have to concern themselves with is deciding which of the two Mandarin Oriental Exclusive Homes properties to call home.

Those who hear London calling should look to Regent’s Park Mansion. Sitting proudly in St. John’s Wood, the Georgian-style mansion boasts 25,000 sq ft of pure elegance, set on a secluded estate and enveloped by its exquisite gardens, which conceal it from the public’s view. Each of its seven opulent bedrooms has been inspired by cultural designs from around the world, while the indoor pool and wellness facilities make it the ideal place to unwind from a day at the races. In one of the city’s most affluent neighborhoods, and within mere walking distance of some of the city’s best restaurants, shopping streets and lush green spaces, the best of London really is at your doorstep.
Yet for those who long for a rural retreat in England’s lush countryside, the Cirencester Estate in the heart of the charming Cotswolds might be just the perfect fit. The 10-bedroom manor house sits on a 600-acre estate, complete with beautifully manicured gardens, a tennis court, an outdoor heated pool and wellness facilities. If the English weather (inevitably) fails to play favor, cozy up inside and unwind in front of the fireplace in one of the comfortable sitting rooms, library-style lounges or the grand drawing room, each dressed and decorated with traditional artworks and antiques.
