IT has evolved into the ideal destination for Manchester United fans from all over the world.
The four-star Hotel Football launched with much excitement in 2015.
Hotel Football is a four-star hotel owned by Manchester United legends.
Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs co-own Hotel Football.
The rooms are football themed.
It helped that the owners were all Red Devils legends.
Ryan Giggs, Gary and Phil Neville, Paul Scholes, and Nicky Butt all contributed financially through the GG Hospitality Management Company.
It cost £24 million to build and has 133 rooms, the Cafe Football restaurant, and a rooftop five-a-side pitch.

It is also conveniently located near Old Trafford.
Rooms start at £89, but can cost up to £299 on match days.
Finally, it is starting to produce a profit, with a turnover of roughly £6.4 million.
Former players who bought the hotel can occasionally be spotted inside.
Initially, Gary Neville purchased land from a group of Manchester United fans who intended to build a clubhouse near the stadium.
By 2011, preparations for the design and construction of a football-themed park were in place, with former Stafford Hotel in London general manager Stuart Proctor providing the necessary skills.

The Class of ’92 requested that the hotel honor the golden era of football prior to the 1990s, when ticket costs were more cheap.
In November 2014, the club was granted permission to create an astroturf five-a-side pitch on the rooftop.
It is available for hire year-round, with the exception of game days, when it is transformed into a bar and BBQ area for supporters.
How comfortable?
Rooms have a Hotel Football themed ball and legendary Manchester United outfits on the walls.
Prices for rooms cost up to £299 on a matchday.
The comfortability of a hotel’s rooms determines its rating.
To ensure that the guests—who are clearly football fans—had a nice day, no expense was spared.
In addition to the king-sized Hypnos mattresses, there are walk-in rainforest showers and a complimentary minibar stocked with vintage delicacies.
Football-themed wall art, football-shaped amenities, and pillows with embroidered inscriptions like ‘Dream big’ and ‘Dream of victory’ pay tribute to the great game in each room.
Die-hard United supporters will request a room with a stadium view.
Inspirational phrases from United’s legends are scrawled on the wall.
One of the rooms displays artwork from the Class of 1992.
A five-a-side pitch can be located on the hotel’s rooftop.
On match day, the five-a-side pitch is transformed into a bar.
As with any hotel, there is a gym on-site that overlooks Salford.
Food for a King.
On match days, Café Football attracts punters.
Fans can enjoy a wide bar menu.
Foodies will be thrilled by the hotel’s Cafe Football restaurant, which serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Michael Wignall, a two-Michelin-star chef from the country inn boutique b&b The Angel at Hetton, oversaw the menu for the 185-seat cafe.
Several of the mains are named after two of the owners.
The Scholesy includes chips, gravy, mushy peas, and beef suet pudding.
In contrast, the Giggsy is made of grilled Cumberland sausage, gravy, and mashed potatoes.
Pizzas and burgers are also recommended, as they seem great when you see a dish of someone else’s delectable dinner on social media. It’s nearly too delicious to eat.

It makes a profit.
In 2023, Hotel Football expects to have a financial record year.
For the first time since its inception in 2015, the hotel is expected to turn a profit.
Gary Neville stated in newly filed documents with Companies House that “all key performance indicators suggest” that the hotel’s revenue will exceed pre-Covid levels by the end of 2023 due to “increasing demand, especially with non-match day revenue streams increasing through accommodation, conference and events, and food and beverage sales within the hotel’s outlets.”
Incredibly, its sales grew from £3.5 million to £6.4 million by 2022.
While pre-tax losses were reduced from £1.1 million to £630,158.
Hotel Football launched in 2015.
After eight years of operation, Hotel Football has finally turned a profit.
The punters are thrilled with Hotel Football.
