Wimbledon Winners: Hotels for Tennis Fans this Summer

“As tennis tournaments go, Wimbledon remains one of the most iconic and entertaining. And while nothing can quite beat the experience of Murray Mound or Centre Court itself, the spirit of the event can still be enjoyed beyond the green lawns of Wimbledon – either through huge 4K flatscreen TVs or with a racket in your own hand. Wherever you find yourself this summer, keep close to the action at one of these five hotels.

Fox and Grapes, Wimbledon
——————————

Whether you’re going to Wimbledon or plan on joining the crowds surrounding the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, this upscale and independent pub/hotel is just the ticket. On the edge of Wimbledon common, you can practically hear the swish of rackets from the Fox and Grapes. There’s plenty for tennis fans outside the two weeks of the tournament. You can visit the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum and there are couple of courts for hire nearby where you can practise your own racquet skills.

Stoke Park Country Club Spa and Hotel, Slough
————————————————–

Just 35 minutes west of London, Stoke Park is a traditional English country club. Not only can you easily travel to Wimbledon for the day from here or watch the matches from your gorgeous room, you can also practise your own game on one of six ‘Wimbledon specification’ grass tennis courts. If you’ve not bagged tickets to the Championships this year, then worry not – stay at Stoke Park at the end of June and get tickets to the Boodles, the club’s own star-studded lawn tennis tournament.

Cromlix, Dunblane, Scotland
——————————–

Cromlix has a very special link with lawn tennis – it’s owned by two-time men’s Wimbledon champion Andy Murray, who bought the hotel to entice tourists to his childhood home town of Dunblane. Naturally, the hotel has its own tennis courts ‚Ôî you can even book expert tuition. This traditional Perthshire mansion promises a decadent stay in an exceptionally beautiful part of the world. And if Andy recovers from his recent surgery to compete this year, the atmosphere here will be almost as electric as at Wimbledon itself.
