Next month sees the opening of Brooklands Hotel, adjacent to Mercedes-Benz World. Part of the original Brooklands motor racing track runs through the reception of the hotel, which reflects the circuit's classy heyday. Meeting rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows and many offer views of the track. Located just five minutes from the M25, between Heathrow and Gatwick and with room rates starting at £130, Mercedes luxury has rarely been so accessible.
