Hotels in Bracknell

Bracknell is known for being one of the UK’s post-war New Towns, but it's come a long way since then. Today, it’s a modern hub packed with shops, green spaces and big-name businesses. The town is especially recognised for The Lexicon, a shopping and leisure centre with loads of high street brands, restaurants and a cinema. It’s also home to a number of global tech companies, making it part of what’s often called the “Silicon Thames Valley.” 

Definitely! Whether you're after a shopping spree, a bit of culture or some outdoor fun, Bracknell has a bit of everything. You can browse over 100 shops at The Lexicon, catch a show at South Hill Park Arts Centre or head out to Swinley Forest for woodland walks, mountain biking or Go Ape.  

Bracknell is surrounded by pretty Berkshire countryside and nearby towns like Windsor, Ascot and Crowthorne, all within easy reach. You’re also not far from Reading or Wokingham if you fancy more shops, parks or dining options. 

Bracknell isn’t a large town by UK standards, but it’s well-equipped for its size and is the main hub in the Borough of Bracknell Forest. While it doesn't have the scale of a big city, it ticks a lot of boxes—modern shopping, entertainment venues, business parks and plenty of green spaces. Over the years, Bracknell has grown into a lively town with excellent transport links to London, Reading and other major centres. Whether you're visiting for a day or staying longer, you’ll find it has more to offer than you might expect from a town its size.
