One fortunate Manchester United fan will have the chance of a lifetime to meet the iconic Gary Neville, stay overnight in the newly revamped Marriott Hotels’ Suite of Dreams at Old Trafford, and immerse in the matchday atmosphere of the Manchester Derby.
Through an exclusive partnership with Manchester United, Marriott Bonvoy – Marriott International’s award-winning travel programme – and Marriott Hotels announce that the beloved Suite of Dreams will return for its fifth year as “The Captain’s Suite,” honouring one of the club’s most celebrated legends, Gary Neville.
Nestled within the historic Old Trafford stadium, The Captain’s Suite pays tribute to Neville’s illustrious career, which saw him make over 600 appearances for Manchester United, serve as club captain for five years, and secure eight Premier League titles, two Champions League trophies, three FA Cups, and two League Cups, as well as the Intercontinental Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.
Starting from the 20th of February, Manchester United fans can enter for a chance to win a one-night stay in this exclusive Marriott Hotels suite before cheering on Manchester United against Manchester City this April. The winner and their guest will enjoy a personal sit-down with Gary himself, listening to stories from his years with the Club and discovering the inspiration behind the unique items showcased in the suite. From iconic jerseys and medals to trophies and more, every item in the suite tells a story, making this an unforgettable experience.
Some of the standout features include:
• Entertainment Centre: A collection of DVDs and books featuring classic Manchester United moments, matches, and content, alongside a record player with Gary’s favourite vinyl records.
• Memorabilia Wall: Display cases filled with cherished mementoes and iconic moments from Gary’s time as captain.
• Gary’s Snack Bar: A selection of Gary’s favourite sweet treats, spanning both his current cravings and those he enjoyed while travelling with the team.
“I’ve been working with Marriott in Manchester now for many years and wanted to thank Marriott Bonvoy and Marriott Hotels for creating such an extraordinary tribute, and for allowing United fans the chance to experience it,” said Neville. “The Captain’s Suite is a celebration of all the special moments I have had both at Old Trafford and beyond. I can’t wait to meet the lucky fans who stay here and exchange stories about my time on the pitch and their devotion to the Club.”
