  • Stay longer, save more - Short Breaks at Alton Towers

    One day at Alton Towers is brilliant. Two days is unforgettable.

    If you're thinking about making a proper break of it, Alton Towers Resort has five uniquely themed places to stay - all on site, all steps from the rides. The iconic Alton Towers Hotel puts you right in the heart of the resort, while Splash Landings Hotel is the one for families who want easy access to the Waterpark. For something a little different, the Enchanted Village Woodland Lodges and Stargazing Pods offer a more secluded, nature-filled stay - perfect for families who want to slow down between the thrills.
