Two Hotels at the Park Entrance

LEGOLAND Windsor has two purpose-built hotels right at the entrance to the park. Both are designed with families in mind and are heavily themed around LEGO, making the overnight stay part of the experience rather than just a place to sleep.

The hotels are within a few minutes' walk of the park gates, so there is no need for shuttle buses or long walks with tired children at the end of the day.

LEGOLAND Resort Hotel

The Resort Hotel was the first to open and sits directly beside the park entrance. Every room follows a LEGO theme, and families can choose from options including Pirate, Kingdom, Adventure and LEGO Friends rooms. Each room includes a separate children's sleeping area with bunk beds, a LEGO building wall and a treasure hunt with clues that lead to a box of LEGO hidden in the room.

The hotel lobby is filled with enormous LEGO models and an interactive play pit. There is also a pool, a restaurant with character dining experiences and evening entertainment with LEGO-themed shows.

LEGOLAND Castle Hotel

The Castle Hotel opened more recently and takes a medieval LEGO theme throughout. Rooms are themed as Knights and Princesses, Wizards, or LEGO NINJAGO, and they follow the same format as the Resort Hotel with separate children's areas and in-room treasure hunts.

The Castle Hotel has its own courtyard, a splash pool and a themed restaurant. The building itself is designed to look like a LEGO castle, complete with turrets and a drawbridge.

Early Park Access

One of the biggest advantages of staying overnight is the exclusive early access to the park. Hotel guests can enter selected rides and areas 30 minutes before the park opens to day visitors. During busy periods, this head start means you can ride the most popular attractions with almost no queuing.

This early access alone can save hours of waiting during peak school holiday dates.

Is It Worth Staying Overnight?

For families travelling from further afield, staying overnight removes the pressure of a long drive at both ends of the day. Children (and parents) can enjoy the park at a more relaxed pace, knowing there is no rush to beat traffic on the way home. The extra time also means you can properly explore Miniland, the spectacular outdoor display of miniature landmarks built from over 40 million LEGO bricks.

The themed rooms are part of the appeal for younger children. Sleeping in a pirate ship bunk bed and searching for hidden LEGO treasure turns the hotel stay into an attraction in itself.

Other Accommodation Nearby

If the on-site hotels are fully booked or above your budget, there are several options in the surrounding area. The town of Windsor is a short drive away and has a range of hotels and guesthouses. Some nearby hotels offer LEGOLAND packages that include park entry.

Holiday Village woodland lodges are also available on the LEGOLAND site, offering a self-catering alternative to the hotels. These are set among trees and have their own facilities, though they are a slightly longer walk from the park entrance.

Planning Your Stay

The on-site hotels are popular and often sell out well in advance for weekends and school holiday dates. Midweek stays tend to be easier to book and are usually less expensive. Check-in is typically from 3pm, and many families arrive early to use the hotel facilities and play areas before heading into the park the following morning.
