Emirates Old Trafford will be opening the venue’s new development – which includes an expanded on-site hotel and event space in the four-star, Hilton Garden Inn – as the Men’s LV= Insurance Ashes Test Match is played at the home of Lancashire Cricket this week.
The new Hilton Garden Inn hotel extension will increase the overall capacity to 250 premium bedrooms, including a new top floor of suites. The latest facility also includes two outdoor terrace areas, and a restaurant and event space, The Edge, which will further enhance the stadium’s meetings and event product and is located on the first floor of the new development.
The opening is the latest addition to Emirates Old Trafford’s thriving conference and events business which has flourished over the past decade. Over that time, the venue has revolutionised its hospitality proposition, including the opening of The Point in 2012 – an award-winning space and a firm client favourite – upgrades across the venue, and now the bigger, even more dynamic hotel which is now set to become an essential development in supporting the venue’s growing client list of organisers looking to make the most of this ever growing live experience destination.
The hotel directly connects the Pavilion and onwards to The Point, two of the leading spaces within the venue, again allowing organisers to add on additional days to their conferences and events, while also keeping delegates together on-site. This in turn opens other on-site incentive and team building opportunities, from the Players and Media Centre to the Cricket Centre, all of which add value across the event itinerary.
