Man Utd v Man City: Booking.com create unique property ahead of Manchester derby

The Manchester derby is a fixture which divides the city, friends and family members.  Through Booking.com, however, the great footballing divide will be thrown out.

Aiming to unite the region’s football lovers and located slap-bang in the middle of Manchester’s two iconic football stadiums on First Street, Booking.com has built the bespoke Half-and-Half House to champion the city’s diversity. Whether a football fanatic or someone simply looking to enjoy a unique Manchester experience, guests will now have the chance to stay at the unique one-bedroom holiday home.

The lucky booker and their guest will also be provided with a taxi to and from the stay, as well as a local food tour experience - both of which are bookable and available on the Booking.com platform courtesy of the work undertaken by the Trips team in Manchester.

Ready to cater for anyone no matter what their football allegiance, the 7x5 metre house comes fully kitted out with red and blue décor, including a half-red, half-blue bed, toilet rolls, mugs, cushions, and even red and blue garden gnomes.

Manchester’s two teams have gone head-to-head 188 times and represent two of England’s most successful clubs, winning a combined 95 honours. They will lock horns once again at Old Trafford on Saturday January 14.

Referencing the first Manchester derby in 1881, the Half-and-Half House can be booked for a night’s stay this Thursday, for just £18.81 on a first come first serve basis. To look into booking, visit Booking.com.
