Hotel Football, an iconic destination for Manchester United fans, has emerged as a prime choice for those seeking accommodation near Old Trafford. Launched in 2015, this four-star hotel has garnered significant attention for its unique football-themed experience.

Prime Location and Pricing

Strategically located next to Old Trafford, the hotel offers unparalleled views of Manchester United’s home ground. Room rates start at £89, but can rise to £299 on match days due to high demand. Despite the premium pricing, the hotel has managed to turn a profit, with an estimated revenue of £6.4 million and a significant reduction in pre-tax losses.
