Hotels for sports fans: From football and rugby to cricket and racing at Goodwood

Shankly Hotel, Liverpool

Due to open in August, this football-themed hotel is named after former Liverpool FC manager and club icon Bill Shankly. The 86 bedrooms have been designed in tribute to the man himself, with photos of his games on the wall. The rooms also have Xboxes and 50-inch TV screens specially for footy fans who want to try their hand at a game of Football Manager, which is available to rent. There will be a Bill Shankly museum within the hotel, displaying previously unseen items that belonged to the manager, and in 2016 a rooftop pool is scheduled to be added.
