Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville, former Manchester United footballers turned hoteliers, have been given the go-ahead to convert Manchester's former stock exchange building into a boutique hotel.

The hotel will have 35 bedrooms, bars, a restaurant, conference and banqueting space and a basement gym and spa. The proposals also involve the creation of a rooftop private members’ terrace, restaurant and bar.
The Stock Exchange is a Grade II-listed building in Norfolk Street in the centre of Manchester. It was built in 1906 as the ‘New Manchester Stock Exchange’; a new home for the organisation which had previously occupied space in Manchester’s Royal Exchange building.

Messrs. Giggs and Neville open their first hotel, Hotel Football, next to Manchester United’s Old Trafford stadium on 2nd March 2015.
