With a prime location, contemporary design and exceptional amenities, Hilton Woking is committed to meeting the growing demand for high quality accommodation in the area, and we look forward to welcoming guests to this fantastic new hotel."

Guests can easily explore some of the UK's premier family-friendly attractions, including Mercedes-Benz World, Thorpe Park and LEGOLAND Windsor, all within a 30-minute drive of the hotel. Golf enthusiasts will appreciate the hotel's exceptional location, situated under 20 miles from 20 of the top 100 golf courses in England. Among these is the historic Woking Golf Club, one of England's oldest heathland courses and Wentworth Golf Club, which is home to the BMW PGA Championship.

A short walk away from Woking Station, the hotel also offers direct train links to Central London, with London Waterloo reachable in under 25 minutes. All terminals at London Heathrow Airport are accessible within 45 minutes by car, and London Gatwick Airport is approximately an hour's drive away, making the hotel an ideal base for guests looking to travel further afield.

Hilton Woking features extensive event facilities, including Surrey's largest hotel ballroom with a theatre-style capacity of 609 people and a banqueting capacity of 384, plus 11 versatile meeting rooms and two private dining spaces, making it the perfect venue for corporate events, weddings, or meetings. Each space is equipped with premium audio-visual technology to ensure seamless experiences.

The hotel also proudly participates in Hilton's 'Meet with Purpose' programme, which helps clients reduce the environmental impact of their meetings and make a positive contribution to the local community. The programme focuses on three key areas: reducing waste and energy use, offering locally sourced, healthier catering options, and promoting attendee wellness.

Honouring Woking's historical evolution, the 23-storey hotel has been designed by Benoy, the lead architect for the wider Victoria Square mixed-use development, with hotel fit-out design by Gensler, and Hilton contributing its expertise in hospitality. Gensler prioritised sourcing local materials and commissioned contemporary artwork from local artists to feature in the hotel. The integration of metal finishes with timber elements reflects both the town's 19th-century growth, driven by the arrival of the railway, and its surrounding natural landscape. The hotel's signage, featuring a font inspired by that era's typography, pays homage to Woking's transformation from a rural village into a key transport hub connecting London to nearby regions.

Cllr Ann-Marie Barker, leader of Woking Borough Council said, "It's great to see the much-anticipated opening of Hilton Woking. We hope that the state-of-the-art hotel will bring significant economic benefits and strengthen Woking's position as a vibrant and attractive destination to live, work and visit. I wish the new hotel every success."
