Emirates Old Trafford welcomes Team GB

Emirates Old Trafford was delighted to welcome Team GB to the venues on-site Hilton Garden Inn hotel on Saturday following their return from the Paris Olympics.

Team GB stayed on-site and were hosted for a reception in The Edge restaurant ahead of their homecoming event at the AO Arena in Manchester on Saturday evening.

The Edge restaurant is located in Emirates Old Trafford’s new development which was opened last year and also saw the Hilton Garden Inn extended by a further 100 bedrooms, taking the hotel to a total capacity of 250-bedrooms and completing the stadiums decade-long redevelopment.

Saturday’s homecoming event was a celebration of the athletes’ achievements in Paris after Great Britain finished seventh in the medal table with 14 gold, 22 silver and 29 bronze medals.

Angela Hodson, Sales Director at Emirates Old Trafford, said: “It was a pleasure to welcome Team GB athletes to Emirates Old Trafford this weekend as they celebrated their outstanding performances at the Paris Olympics.

“It was an honour for Emirates Old Trafford to host the Team GB drinks reception in our new restaurant The Edge and we also hope they thoroughly enjoyed their stay in the hotel.

“We are incredibly proud of their achievements this summer in Paris and would like to congratulate all those who brought medals back with them to Great Britain.”
