The Spotlight on 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.

Excellent and effortless

Liked: The hotel had that warm local feeling with lots of interesting ornaments and paintings that told a story about its history.I was amazed with the restaurant room and the bar was relaxing.Unfortunately I did not have time to sample the pool but did look amazing. All so the staff on entrance went above and beyond to help with a delivery that had been stent to me.
Disliked: The bar music was good but did not fit the style of the room but was not a issue after a few drinks ;) but nothing that would stop me from returning again.

A real treat to celebrate...

Liked: Breakfast was very good. However one morning was very busy due to the bank holiday and we had to wait much longer than the other 2 days we were there
Disliked: The wait on one morning was very long

Classy, tasteful, comfortable.

Liked: Room was beautifully appointed, of reasonable size. The overall property is very nice and welcoming, cozy rather than grand, and there is ample parking. Location is convenient to Chichester and lots of nearby attractions. Breakfast was terrific: lots of choices, excellent menu with hot cooked food as well as a huge buffet spread.
Disliked: It could be a really long walk from reception to your room, through a confused maze of corridors. That's about it.

It was a good stay...

Liked: Friendly polite staff.
Disliked: Above all, the awful single layer cheap loo paper in our bathroom, which was so thin, almost transparent, that made a lasting negative impression, not worthy of the otherwise good facilities of your hotel. Other minor comments are that in room 209, the grouting between the bath tiles was stained brown in places and needs addressing with a thorough cleaning with bleach perhaps? I would also like to note that at our breakfast, I ordered simple scrambled eggs on toast and after waiting around twenty minutes, it never arrived and we left. I mentioned this to the manager and to his credit, mentioned that the order had been forgotten and not reached the cooking staff and credited my account accordingly.
