Hotel Football's co-owners Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs, along with GG Hospitality’s CEO Winston Zahra and Mark James from Tribute Portfolio, have announced a new partnership.
Hotel Football will be joining Marriott International’s newest hotel brand Tribute Portfolio under a franchise agreement.
The new deal will mean Hotel Football will be able to offer guests a number of unique and extraordinary packages, as well as access to the largest hotel loyalty rewards program.
Winston Zahra, CEO of GG Hospitality said, “We have established Hotel Football as a very strong concept in Manchester over the past four years. This new association with Marriott International helps us reach new travellers looking for remarkable accommodation, characterful design and vibrant social spaces.
'We are very much looking forward to working closely with Tribute Portfolio to continue to deliver the best in hospitality to our guests.”
John Licence, Vice President Premium and Select Brands Europe, Marriott International, said, “We are delighted to welcome Hotel Football as the first Tribute Portfolio property in Manchester. With its playful character and bold identity, the hotel and its buzzing social spaces are a true reflection of Tribute Portfolio’s stay with character ethos.”
Hotel Football still remains majority-owned by the Class of ‘92 and Peter Lim and will continue to be operated by GG Hospitality.
