Marriott Hotels unveils Manchester United’s reimagined ‘Suite of Dreams’

In this episode we speak to Nico Tréguer, co-founder of Roberts and Treguer and The Culpeper Family. Nico spoke about founding the group alongside his longtime friend Gareth, having had a vision for bringing more nature spaces to cities, the planned extension of The Buxton in Spitalfields, and how the site’s storytelling engages guests and the local community, how the Culpeper Family’s core sustainability ethos helped it secure its B-Corp status and why hospitality has a responsibility to educate and innovate when it comes to sustainability.

Marriott Hotels, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of over 30 extraordinary hotel brands, has enhanced its partnership with Manchester United to unveil a reimagined Marriott Hotels “Suite of Dreams” at Old Trafford. 

According to Marriott Hotels, the curated suite experience will celebrate the “heart of cultural and football greatness”, transporting fans back to an era that marked the beginning of Manchester United’s “modern-day dominance”, with a tribute to the 25th Anniversary of the club’s 1998-1999 Treble-winning season. 

The suite features: 

  • Movies, Music and Gaming Hub: A special space housing CDs, a gaming system and a curation of VHS videos filled with classic team tales and matches.
  • Adidas Predator Boot Display: Guests can explore some of the “most iconic” boot designs during its ‘90s evolution that are tied to stories of the most memorable goals and milestones of the era.
  • Treble Tribute: Guests can also experience the club’s success on-and-off the pitch, with “treasured memorabilia” from game-worn jerseys to authentic matchday programs, offering a glimpse into the achievements that marked an era of football excellence.
  • Retro Mini-Bar: The mini bar will feature treats reminiscent of what fans enjoyed during the decade’s matches

Included in the Marriott Hotels Suite of Dreams Sleepover Experience, one Marriott Bonvoy member and their guest will partake in an exclusive tour of Carrington training ground, Old Trafford, and the Manchester United Museum, around the upcoming Arsenal match. 

Participants will help prepare Manchester United kits in the home dressing room, followed by an exclusive cocktail-making masterclass with Marriott Hotels’ mixologists and a chance to dine with a Manchester United Legend. 

On match day, they’ll visit the pitch and receive exclusive hospitality for the last home game of the season. Plus, the experience will include a two-night stay at the Manchester Marriott Victoria and Albert Hotel, before and after the stadium sleepover. There will be one package available on the Marriott Bonvoy Moments platform, open for bidding beginning on April 2.

Brian Povinelli, senior vice president and global head of marketing and brand at Marriott International, said: “As we embark on another exciting chapter with Manchester United, and in honour of the 25th Anniversary of the team’s Treble victory, we are unveiling our reimagined Marriott Hotels ‘Suite of Dreams’ with a touch of ‘90s nostalgia. 

“We’re offering fans an opportunity to experience a truly unique and memorable stay, where the exceptional service and wonderful hospitality of Marriott Hotels meet the rich history and cultural significance of Manchester United’s most cherished era.”
