Manchester’s Hotel Football has revealed the hotel welcomed over 24,773 delegates across 243 bookings in the past year.
Co-founded by former Manchester United players Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs, the venue offers five flexible event spaces, including the 359-square-foot Stadium Suite with views of Old Trafford, and the 500-person Old Trafford Supporters Club bar.
It’s also home to the UK’s only rooftop 5-a-side football pitch, ideal for summer socials and brand activations. Event spaces are available alongside delegate packages and full hotel buy-outs.
Located directly next to Manchester United, and just a ten-minute walk from Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground, Hotel Football has become a sought-after setting for brands and corporates seeking something stand-out beyond the boardroom.
In addition to off season availability, the hotel’s Matchday Experiences remain in demand, with bespoke packages including pre- and post-match hospitality, a three-course dining menu and exclusive Q&As with former Manchester United legends including Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville, drawing in corporates keen to give clients or teams a truly unforgettable experience.
Jessica Southworth, director of sales & marketing at Hotel Football, said: “We’re seeing more and more interest from corporates, especially those hosting international stakeholders who want an event or meeting space which really stands out.”
“As Manchester continues to shine on the global stage, we expect demand to keep growing, particularly from brands looking to combine serious business with a touch of something different.”
The surge in event bookings follows recognition in May from Tripadvisor, which ranked the hotel 7th in its Travellers’ Choice Awards ‘Best of the Best’ awards – the only Manchester-based hotel to receive this prestigious recognition.
