The Goodwood Hotel

Country Elegance Just Minutes from the Music

Nestled within the stunning 12,000-acre Goodwood Estate, The Goodwood Hotel blends countryside charm with modern luxury. Located just outside Chichester and close to the South Downs, this 4-star hotel offers a peaceful yet sophisticated base with elegant rooms, estate-sourced dining, and extensive leisure facilities. Whether you're heading to a nearby concert or festival, you'll return to a serene retreat surrounded by nature.

Why Concert-goers love it

The hotel is less than a 10-minute drive to central Chichester, making it an ideal location for gigs at local venues. After the show, unwind at the indoor pool, sauna, or spa bath – a welcome post-concert recovery. While tucked away in the countryside, the hotel offers 24-hour room service and free Wi-Fi, letting you stream your favorite songs or share concert memories late into the night. Check-in starts at 16:00 and check-out is at 11:00, giving you a relaxed morning after a late night out.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends – plenty of space and leisure options to enjoy together
• Solo travelers – safe and quiet, with access to wellness facilities
• Couples – fine dining and spa amenities for a romantic weekend
• Fans seeking calm – escape the noise and recharge in comfort
• Budget-conscious music lovers – good value for luxury amenities

Food and Drink Options

With a variety of choices, you won't go hungry after a show. Enjoy traditional British dishes or elegant fine dining on-site, all featuring ingredients from the estate. The Aero Club Café, just under a mile away, serves hearty home-cooked meals. 24/7 room service means you can grab a bite anytime, and breakfast is available to help you recover the next morning.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about relaxation than revelry, Chichester’s pubs and bars are a quick drive away. After a concert, wind down at the hotel’s bar with a local wine or craft beer, or relax in your room with a nightcap from room service.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the peaceful setting, friendly staff, and beautiful grounds. The health club and spa facilities are a big hit, especially for those looking to unwind. Many also love the fresh, locally sourced food and the comfortable, well-kept rooms.

Areas for Improvement

If you're relying on public transport, getting to and from the hotel late at night can be tricky – taxis or a designated driver are your best bet. It’s a tranquil spot, so those seeking a buzzing nightlife scene will need to head into Chichester.

The Bottom Line

A stylish countryside escape perfect for concert-goers who want to pair live music with comfort, calm, and a touch of luxury.
