Where to Sleep

Hilton at St George’s Park, Burton Upon Trent

When you need some time on the bench from the game we call life, ‘head’er for the Hilton at St George’s Park. Set in the National Forest, the hotel is part of the FA’s National Football Centre, a world-class training venue with state-of-the-art conferencing, sport and medical facilities. The hotel draws inspiration from the game with prints of famous players displayed in the bedrooms and public areas.

West Ham United Hotel, Upton Park

If you’re passionate about football, West Ham United Hotel offers a radical departure from conventional accommodation. Offering guest spaces more like a VIP box than hotel room, the hotel is set within Upton Park, meaning you can wake up to views of the pitch. A Hammers fan or not, you won’t want to close the curtains, especially if a match is in session. Rooms from £65 per night.

Owned by Liverpudlian defender Jamie Carragher and rising star Jonathan Flanagan, Café Sports may get you dribbling.
