The first thing you notice about the Hilton Garden Inn in Manchester is that it is inside the Old Trafford cricket grounds. As you can imagine it books up fast during match season. If you are looking to stay here to catch a match though, you need to book well in advance.

The bedrooms here sport the refined white and grey colour palette that many upper class hotels prefer. This is a Hilton, so it will have a high standard of quality throughout – right down to the thickness of the sheets.

Fully air conditioned, the Hilton Garden Inn Emirates Hotel has great security with keycard access and a 24-hour front desk. You will have your own telephone, ironing facilities, tea and coffee maker, an in-room safe, and possibly a private balcony you can watch the stadium or pitch from. They really are the best seats in the house.

The hotel itself is ultra-modern, regularly refreshed due to the high rate of guests, and is just half a mile from old Trafford stadium where Manchester United have their home. There is a fitness suite, a garden market, and a lively bar. Prepare yourself for a good time.
