The normally tranquil and serene island of Barbados will transform into an explosion of racing activity when fans descend from all over the world for the Top Gear Festival May 17-18, 2014, and the Courtyard Bridgetown, Barbados is looking forward to providing a restful night’s sleep so super car enthusiasts can recharge in peace and quiet.
The Bridgetown, Barbados, hotel is about 20 kilometers from the Bushy Park Racing Circuit in St. Philip, home of the Top Gear Festival. The event will make its American debut by bringing Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond in from the UK to present a car fanatic’s dream. The trio is best known for the British TV series “Top Gear” focusing on everything cars.
As the date quickly approaches, Barbadian Tourism and Hospitality entities anticipate an influx of enthusiastic followers to many Barbados hotels. Hundreds of international fans are expected to intermingle with the equally large contingent of locals at the spanking new Bushy Park Racing Circuit in St. Philip, for high speed demonstrations, exhibits, practice sessions and ultimately showdowns on the track.
Just as high speed thrills will keep adrenaline coursing through visitors’ veins by day, the Courtyard Barbados hotel will rev up its staff to meet the needs of its guests after the engines switch off.
Visitors staying at the Barbados hotel will find deluxe accommodations awaiting them after a long day at the circuit. Recently reimagined rooms boast one king or two queen-sized beds topped with cotton-rich sheets and plenty of fluffy pillows.
Like the Top Gear festival, the Barbados hotel keeps visitors geared up and connected with high-speed wireless Internet access available throughout the hotel.
Flat-screen TVs with cable afford hours of entertainment for travelers of any age. Large work desks with ergonomic chairs, coffeemakers, safes large enough to fit laptops and mini-refrigerators are among the many top amenities “Top Gear” fans can expect.
The Barbados hotel is situated in the Garrison Historic Area on the busy Highway 7 stretch. A mere 20-minute drive via taxi will transport eager fans from the island’s Grantley Adams International Airport (BGI) to the hotel.
Fast and fresh food options are available in the hotel’s lobby at Centro, offering breakfast, lunch and dinner in a casual setting. Grab and go items are always a convenient option from the 24-hour Market.
If travelers want to get a true taste of Barbadian life and the other cultures that have blended smoothly within, they can take a leisurely stroll to the Lanterns Mall, Blakeys on the Boardwalk or Mama Mia Deli.
As the show culminates with a series of never-to-be-forgotten showcases, the Bridgetown, Barbados, hotel will provide the final stage where guests can recapture the weekend’s events with comrades or unwind from the exhilaration that was Top Gear Barbados.
