Ahead of his testimonial in 2011, Neville revealed he would spend the proceeds towards a supporters club and hotel near Old Trafford.
Despite objections from Manchester United, Neville's plans were approved in 2012.
In 2013, Neville and Ryan Giggs launched a hospitality company named GG Hospitality, with plans to build football-themed hotels and cafés around the United Kingdom, initially in Manchester and London.
The first operation was a football-themed restaurant named Café Football in Stratford, London, which opened in November 2013, with Hotel Football, previously under the guise of the supporters club Neville announced in 2011, scheduled to be opened in late 2014.

In 2015, Neville and Ryan Giggs gained planning permission for a second Manchester hotel which will not be football themed.
The pair will be redeveloping Manchester's former stock exchange building into a boutique hotel.
Giggs and Neville bought the 1906-built Northern Stock Exchange Building for £1.5 million in 2013.
The Grade II-listed building is on 4 Norfolk Street and will have 35 beds, a gym, spa, roof-top terrace, restaurant and bar.
Zerum, Gary Neville's property consultancy, acted as agents for the application for planning permission.

Along with other United players who won the 1992 FA Cup, Neville has proposed a university in Greater Manchester, named University Academy 92 which would offer "broader courses than traditional degrees" and attract students who "otherwise might not go on to higher education".
