Live! by Loews is 8 minutes on foot from AT&T Stadium, the shortest walk to it we found. Loews Arlington, joined to Live! by a sky bridge, is 11 minutes from AT&T Stadium and 6 from Globe Life Field. No other hotel we timed is under 20 minutes from either.
Both towers had no rooms for 2 January, the night before the Giants play at noon. Live! also had none for Thanksgiving night, or for 31 December and Cotton Bowl night. Four of the five Cowboys home games below fall on a Sunday, when neither the TRE nor the city's On-Demand ride runs.
Walk times are OpenStreetMap walking routes from each of eight hotels in the Arlington Entertainment District to one point on each stadium (1 AT&T Way and 734 Stadium Drive), not to a gate, and fees are what each hotel's own booking screen showed, where we could read one.
The two Loews towers
Live! is the smaller tower, with 300 rooms and no garage of its own. It's 621 meters to AT&T Stadium, and Globe Life Field is 10 minutes (725 meters) away. State and city occupancy taxes and a "Tourism Assessment Fee" go on top of the room, about 17.5% in all on the 4 December quote, and there's no flat nightly fee. Valet is $39/night plus tax. Self-park is $29/night in the convention center garage, 0.25 mile away, and the hotel's pages disagree on whether tax is included. A $1.99 one-time processing fee may apply to self-park.
Loews Arlington has 888 rooms. Its walk to Globe Life Field is 449 meters, the shortest to the ballpark of the eight, and AT&T Stadium is 938 meters. The same "Tourism Assessment Fee" sits with the occupancy taxes, and there's no resort fee. Cars go to the same garage at the same prices, $29 to self-park and $39 for valet. Loews Arlington lists both as plus tax and says event-day rates vary.
20 to 27 minutes from AT&T Stadium
Self-park at the Courtyard by Marriott Dallas Arlington/Entertainment District is on site, at $10/day. The walk is 20 minutes to AT&T Stadium (1,514 meters) and 21 to Globe Life Field (1,593). No resort fee.
Caravan Court Hotel checks in guests 21 and over. It charges an $18 destination fee and a $4.75 state cost recovery fee per room per night, and lists two more under the names TPID (2%) and AEAMD ($1.90). Our hotel tax guide explains the 2%. Parking is valet only, $45/night plus applicable taxes and gratuity. AT&T Stadium is 22 minutes away on foot (1,684 meters). Globe Life Field is 35 (2,657).
From the Sanford House Inn & Spa the walk is 25 minutes to AT&T Stadium (1,910 meters) and 41 to Globe Life Field (3,120). It lists private parking for the villas, next to the building, and for the cottage suites, with no price stated. We haven't confirmed its fees or availability on its booking screen.
Parking at Drury Plaza Hotel Dallas Arlington is free during the stay, per the hotel's site. There's no fee line, just one "Room total with tax" figure 17.3% above the rate. From Drury it's 27 minutes (2,021 meters) to AT&T Stadium and 34 (2,593) to the ballpark.
The Holiday Inn and Comfort Suites
Like Loews Arlington, the Holiday Inn Arlington NE (Rangers Ballpark) is nearer the ballpark than the football stadium: 30 minutes (2,259 meters) to Globe Life Field and 33 (2,507 meters) to AT&T Stadium. There's no resort fee. IHG labels two lines as taxes and leaves them out of the rate, $1.90 per night and 17.94% per night. Self-park is $10/day in an outdoor lot on site, for registered guests only, and IHG's hotel page doesn't say whether tax applies.
Comfort Suites Arlington - Entertainment District is the farthest of the eight from both stadiums: 38 minutes (2,881 meters) from AT&T Stadium and 46 (3,453 meters) from Globe Life Field. Its $3.99 Hotel Service Fee per room per night is already in the rate Choice displays. The lot is outdoors, with bus parking listed and no price.
Getting there without a car
No train reaches the Entertainment District. The Trinity Railway Express runs Monday to Saturday, with no scheduled Sunday service outside State Fair weekends, and Trinity Metro's holiday table shows no TRE service on Thanksgiving Day or New Year's Day. Four of the five Cowboys home games below are on a Sunday and the fifth is Thanksgiving, so the train is no help for any of them.
Arlington On-Demand, the city's ride service run with Via, covers all of Arlington plus CentrePort/DFW Airport Station on the TRE and the Eastchase Parkway area in Fort Worth. It runs Monday to Friday 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., with no Sunday service. A ride is $3 for up to 4 miles, rising to $8, and a flat $3 to or from CentrePort. Friday service ends at 9 p.m., two hours after the Big 12 game on 4 December kicks off. The city's pages don't say whether On-Demand runs on holidays.
The Arlington Trolley is for registered guests of participating hotels, with a pass from the front desk. Its site says it runs from Six Flags opening in February to the end of Rangers baseball in the fall, and that fare-free service to AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field and Choctaw Stadium is available "only on days when there are no major stadium events." Its events listing still shows the 2023 season.
The Cowboys' know-before-you-go page for the 1 November game puts rideshare at Lot 15, off Randol Mill Road and Web Street.
Driving in from outside Arlington
The Worthington Renaissance Fort Worth Hotel and Omni Fort Worth Hotel, both in downtown Fort Worth, are a 24-minute drive from AT&T Stadium, routed on 10 November with no traffic and no event closures. Game traffic adds to every drive time here, and where a parking price below doesn't mention tax, the hotel's page didn't either.
The Worthington charges a $20 Destination Fee, built into the rate it shows. Our resort fees guide has it alongside the metro's other fees. Self-park is $39/day and valet $55/day. The Omni has no resort fee, and we found no on-site self-park there. The city garage next door is $22/vehicle with no in-and-out, and Omni's directions page lists overnight valet at $48 plus tax with unlimited in-and-out.
In downtown Dallas, the Hyatt Regency Dallas is a 25-minute drive and the Omni Dallas Hotel 26. Neither adds a fee, and the Hyatt's FAQ puts it in writing: no resort or destination fee. The Hyatt's self-park is $30 a night in the outdoor Radish Lot, with in-and-out for overnight guests only. Valet is $50 to $75 depending on dates, tax not included. The Omni charges $30 a night to self-park, with in-and-out, and $40 for valet.
From Grapevine, Hotel Vin, Autograph Collection is 25 minutes out and adds no fee. Marriott's page for the hotel lists self-parking at $24/day ($1/hour, $168/week) and valet at $39/day. Self-parking is free on site at the Courtyard by Marriott Dallas DFW Airport North/Grapevine, per Marriott's page, and there's no fee there either. It's 30 minutes away.
The Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center charges a $28/night Resort Fee, included in the rate Marriott shows. It's also a 30-minute drive. Self-parking is $29/day ($17/hour) and valet $49/day.
AT&T Stadium's parking page prints no game-day price for cars. It sends buyers to SeatGeek for passes and says lots are generally open five hours before Cowboys games. Tailgating runs from lot opening to two hours after Cowboys or college football games. The Cowboys' page for the 1 November game recommends buying parking before you arrive.
The City of Arlington has three Entertainment District No Parking Zones. While a designated event is on, folding signs go up, and cars parked in the zones can be towed or fined. On 10 November the city's list of designated events had every Cowboys home game, the 4 December Big 12 Championship and the 1 January 2027 College Football Playoff quarterfinal. It had no UIL dates. If you're driving in on one of those days, ask your hotel where its guests park.

Arlington hotels, night by night
We searched each hotel's own booking engine on 10 November for one night, two adults, by check-in date. Marriott's "not available for check-in" can mean sold out or a minimum stay.
Cotton Bowl night, 1 January, had the most refusals: four of the seven hotels we searched turned down a one-night stay.
The two Loews towers mostly took turns. Live! by Loews had no rooms on Thanksgiving night, 31 December or 1 January, and Loews Arlington had rooms on all three. On 21 November, the night before the Titans at noon, and on Big 12 night, 4 December, Loews Arlington said "No rooms available" and Live! had rooms. Both had rooms on 25 November and on 18 and 27 December. Neither had any for 2 January.
The Courtyard and Caravan Court turned down a one-night stay on the same four nights: 21 and 26 November, 31 December and 1 January. At the Courtyard that was Marriott's "not available for check-in", and at Caravan Court "There is a Length of Stay Restriction in place for the selected dates." The Courtyard also refused Sunday 27 December, when the Jaguars kick off at 7:20 p.m., though it had rooms the night before. Every other date on its November and December calendars had rooms, and so did 2 January. Caravan Court had rooms on 25 November, on 4, 18 and 27 December, and on 2 January.
Drury had no rooms twice: 18 December, in the middle of the UIL championships, and Cotton Bowl night. It had rooms on 21 and 26 November, on 4, 27 and 31 December, and on 2 January.
The Holiday Inn and Comfort Suites, the two longest walks to AT&T Stadium, had rooms every night we tried: 4 December and 31 December to 2 January at the Holiday Inn, 31 December and 1 January at Comfort Suites. With Loews Arlington, they were the only three of the seven with a room on Cotton Bowl night.
Nights outside Arlington
We didn't search any nights at the two Fort Worth hotels. The Hyatt Regency Dallas and the Omni Dallas both had rooms on 1 January, the only night we tried there. In Grapevine, Hotel Vin showed not available for check-in on 4, 7, 11 and 18 December and the Courtyard DFW Airport North only on 1 December, and both had rooms from 31 December to 2 January. Marriott's calendar for the Gaylord Texan showed rooms on every December date and on 1 and 2 January.
