Hamilton has been a member of Soho House for more than a decade, but has now added his own creative vision to the special "House 44" pop-ups.
The 40-year-old drew inspiration from his own personal aesthetic and branding for the project.
Fans staying there will be able to enjoy special cocktails made with the drivers non-alcoholic blue agave spirit Almave alongside exclusive DJ lineups, curated photography and items from the Plus 44 collections and racing memorabilia.
However, in fitting with its F1 theme - staying in the suites which will overlook the pit lane and start-finish straights - it will cost a pretty penny.

Escapade Silverstone hotel review: a modern trackside stay
Waking up to the sound of the revving engines of F1 cars just outside the door of your hotel, then sipping your morning coffee while drivers such as Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris whizz past just metres away from your balcony is the stuff of dreams for motorsport fans. That's the reality of a stay at ultra-modern Escapade Silverstone. Opened in March, the 14-acre Escapade complex sits trackside overlooking a 550-metre stretch of Silverstone Circuit, home of the British Grand Prix, which straddles Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire. The hotel comprises a clubhouse with a roof terrace bar, fine-dining restaurant and 60 one- to four-bedroom apartments, many of which offer unparalleled views of the world-famous Maggotts and Becketts corners — some of the fastest and most exciting in the world. If you're a motorsport fan, this is one of the most thrilling hotel experiences out there. This article contains affiliate links that can earn us revenue Score 8/10Guests can choose from three types of modular 'residence', which can be booked as an entire apartment or individual lockable rooms. The Trackside residences come at a premium because they offer sensational views of the circuit from their cantilevered balconies, some of which are as little as 12 metres from the crash barrier. Countryside residences are further away from the track and have calming views across the fields behind; while Dual-Aspect are sited between the Trackside and Countryside residences, and are the only type to have rooftop terraces with panoramic views. But for those guests without Trackside properties, the best views of any circuit action are from the restaurant and rooftop champagne bar, which is open exclusively to hotel guests. • London's top serviced apartments Each apartment is owned by a private landlord, but managed and maintained by the hotel; owners are able to use their property for up to 100 days but many visit less frequently than that. Each comes with its own open-plan kitchen area, lounge, terrace and parking in an air-conditioned garage or car port; bedrooms have an en suite bathroom. In terms of decor, all residences are light-filled, modern and comfortable. They also benefit from wooden floors with underfloor heating and air conditioning. Accessible residences, called Liberty, have lifts from the ground floor and the apartments are suitable for wheelchair users, with lowered kitchen facilities and accessible bathrooms. Cots are available for babies, and games consoles are on hand for older children. • 100 of the Best Places to Stay in the UK Score 8/10During dinner in the Gallery restaurant you will find yourself surrounded by a collection of motor sport-related artworks, with a number of TV screens showing round-the-clock Sky Sports F1. The large dining room has an impressive full-length window offering superb views of the circuit. The chef, Matt Tsistrakis, is an alumnus of London's Savoy hotel, and that expertise was apparent in the modern French menu. Starters include smoked aubergine soup or shellfish bisque; mains include duck and monkfish; while vegetarians have mushroom risotto or beetroot burgers. Kids are well catered for with their own menu that includes the usual bangers and mash and pasta, but also breaded lemon sole or grilled chicken. I chose crispy pork belly with sweet sauce and plum ketchup to start, followed by a beef cheek main that disintegrated under the weight of a fork and melted in the mouth. For dessert, the sticky toffee pudding was delicious but sweet enough to make the head swim; the maitre d' suggested the blood orange soufflé next time, and brought out the accompanying negroni sorbet to try: it was sharp, cleansing stuff. Ask for a red wine recommendation and you may be steered towards the house red, a Baccolo Rosso Corvina, although the wide selection of wines also includes Whispering Angel and Dom Perignon. • Best boutique hotels in the UK Breakfast includes an excellent hot buffet, selection of cold meats, cereals and juices are available, as is filter coffee (£18pp); à la carte dishes and barista-made coffees are extra. Track walks are possible during scheduled slots and the concierge can help to arrange them, as well as booking driving experiences within Silverstone, from doughnutting open-wheeled Caterham roadsters to going flat-out with McLaren supercars on track (from £139; Most guests, though, will make use of the more traditional facilities, including the wellness centre with a 15m indoor swimming pool, which is heated year-round but can feel busy at times, a sauna and a gym, which has a range of Matrix cardio machines, adjustable pulleys and free weights. Spa treatments can also be arranged in advance. • Discover our full guide to the UK Score 7/10Escapade is within the Silverstone Circuit between Towcester and Brackley, officially within Northamptonshire but spilling over into north Buckinghamshire. Milton Keynes Central is the closest station, from where it is a 25-minute taxi ride to the hotel. Better to drive (90 minutes from central London), because each residence has its own garage. You will find upmarket shopping at Bicester Village (30 minutes away by car) and stunning Georgian landscaping at Stowe Gardens (20 minutes away).

F1 chief Stefano Domenicali tells Keir Starmer what sets the UK apart: ‘The home of our sport'
Formula 1 president Stefano Domenicali has revealed what sets the UK apart in the sport in a meeting with Prime Minister Keir Starmer ahead of Silverstone. Starmer welcomed a host of F1 personalities, including drivers Carlos Sainz, Alex Albon, Ollie Bearman and Esteban Ocon, to 10 Downing Street on Wednesday in celebration of the sport's 75th anniversary year. With close to half a million set to flock to the British Grand Prix this weekend, Domenicali believes it is not simply the country's passion for motorsport that makes it so integral to F1, but also what it puts into the industry, highlighting the UK's burgeoning employment sector in F1 that is unmatched by any other. "Next year, nine of the 11 Formula 1 teams will have a base here. We have our office and technical centre here in the UK. No other country can make that claim, and we are very proud of it,' said Domenicali. "But this is not just about the presence here, it is about what we bring with fans, employees at 4,500 companies working with the sport, 41,000 jobs linked to the F1. And 25,000 highly skilled engineers. We generate over £12bn to the UK economy and help keep the country a leader in world-class innovation, technology and skills. "This country is passionate about Formula 1 motorsport, and very proud of it. Seventy-five years ago, Formula 1 started here in the UK at Silverstone in 1950. Since then, it has become a British institution with deep roots and a huge contribution to the country.' Domenicali has run the sport since 2019 and recently agreed a new five-year deal to remain in his post. Other attendees at Downing Street included leaders of the incoming Cadillac F1 operation Graeme Lowdon and Daniel Towriss, F1 Academy managing director Susie Wolff, and F1 legends Sir Jackie Stewart, Damon Hill, Martin Brundle and Jenson Button. Starmer added: "It is really great to have you and to celebrate that so many teams have chosen the UK as their base. This is pretty extraordinary - the sheer number of teams that are based here, just like the headquarters of Formula 1 itself. And next season's new teams on the grid - Cadillac, which opened a new facility at Silverstone, and Audi's building its technical centre near there as well. "So the continuation of the British stamp on the sport is absolutely there. In fact, there is only one team without a presence here, and I did wonder whether it would be too much of a diplomatic incident if I tried to lure Ferrari out of Italy, and whether it would increase our relationship or not!" The British GP is race 12 of the 2025 F1 season and will be nine-time winner Lewis Hamilton 's first home race in Ferrari red.

How family tragedy drove unlikely Formula 1 star Damon Hill to victory... CHRISTOPHER STEVENS reviews Hill
Murray Walker, the greatest of all commentators, was not often lost for words. But emotion got the better of him as Damon Hill claimed the F1 World Championship in 1996. 'And, I've got to stop,' Murray growled hoarsely, 'because I've got a lump in my throat.' His unmistakable voice, like the scream of a 500hp turbo- engine, seemed to have grit in the gearbox. Hill's victory was especially significant for the sport because he was the son of another Formula 1 world champion, the swashbuckling Graham Hill, who died in a plane crash along with five members of his team in 1975. Throughout the documentary Hill, charting Damon's career in motor-racing, his father's ebullient personality was ever-present as a sort of background roar, like the sound of a high-performance car. Snatches of home video were intercut with archive news footage. In one snippet, Bruce Forsyth chatted to Graham at Brands Hatch. The two men could have been -brothers - the same long nose and jutting chin, not to mention the pencil moustaches. An adolescent Damon lurked shyly beside his dad. 'Say something,' urged Brucie. 'Something,' whispered the boy. Snatches of home video are intercut with archive news footage and F1 racing scenes 'He's not like you, he can't chat as much!' chortled Bruce, elbowing Graham. That moment epitomised Damon's relationship with his father's memory. 'I didn't want to be pushed into the limelight,' he mused. 'If your dad is the star of the show, then who are you?' An introspective man - his wife, Georgie, calls him, 'one of the saddest people I'd ever come across in my life' - Hill Jnr insisted at the start of this affecting and melancholy film that he 'never wanted to become a racing driver'. But he also felt compelled to compete and win, in tribute to his father. Gradually, it became clear why Hill always seemed so unlike other drivers. A devoted father and husband, he couldn't have been more different from the roguish, womanising James Hunt - a man who once staggered into the paddock still half-drunk from a wild one-night stand, and proceeded to break lap records on his way to the podium. Damon had none of Michael Schumacher's arrogance, Alain Prost's confidence or Ayrton Senna's supernatural aura. Even his team bosses seemed to take his self-deprecating jokes at face value: they sacked him when he was leading the championship. But what emerged from this sensitive film, written and directed by Alex Holmes, was the portrait of a spiritual man who was deeply traumatised by loss. He was 15 when a TV bulletin broke the news of his father's death. He had to tell his mother, who collapsed. Financial ruin for the family followed. For F1 fans, the race footage was gripping, while the candid shots of drivers and mechanics behind the scenes were revealing.
