The Best Experience
George Best’s playing style was one of a kind, it combined pace,
skill, balance, feints, two-footedness, goal scoring and the ability to
beat defenders. Not just an outstanding player, but also a vibrant
personality, Best became one of the first ‘famous’ footballers the
world had ever seen.

Earning the nickname ‘El Beatle’ due to his Fab Four inspired haircut,
Best grew in popularity on and off the pitch. He received more than
1,000 fan mail letters every week and was regularly offered modelling
assignments and personal appearances.

A fitting tribute to the legend and legacy of George Best, this
stunning hotel will create a truly unique accommodation experience.
This beautiful accolade to the footballing legend will be themed
around his amazing life and house an exclusive museum, dedicated to
the life and times of one of the greats.

This unique museum and hotel will exhibit never seen before
memorabilia, souvenirs and personal mementoes that will allow
football fans to explore the world of George Best.
