About us
Hotel Football is located across the road from Old Trafford football stadium in Manchester, perfect for matchdays and situated close to Manchester city centre. With 133 rooms, Hotel Football is the brainchild of the Class of '92 - a world renowned group of players including Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt and Philip Neville, united not only by football and friendship but heritage, quality, ambition and an unrelenting desire to win. These unifying forces sit at the heart of the brand – celebrating more than the obvious love of the game, by embracing its ability to bring fans, friends, and family together around a shared passion through innovative experiences.Since its launch in 2015 Hotel Football quickly became one of the most talked about hotels in Manchester. In addition to the rooms it features a ground floor restaurant 'Cafe Football', the ideal venue for a dinner in Manchester, as well as a number of bespoke meeting and events spaces, many of which transform into hospitality areas on Manchester United matchdays, including the rooftop terrace 'Heaven' and lower-ground 'Old Trafford Supporters Club'.The hotel has won a plethora of awards including Front of House Team of the Year (Hotel Cateys, 2018), and Leading Hotel of the Year (This is Manchester Awards 2018), creating a special location to stay, whether for work or leisure.
