The Cowboys' stadium isn't in Dallas — it sits in Arlington, a suburb wedged halfway between Dallas and Fort Worth. The Cowboys play here, the Rangers play across the parking lot at Globe Life Field, Six Flags is a short drive, and the biggest stadium concerts roll through all year. Yet Arlington is the largest US city without real public transit, so staying in the wrong place means watching Uber surge prices climb all trip. The fix is to stay in the Arlington Entertainment District, the compact cluster built around the two stadiums. From the right hotel you can walk to the stadium gates in under ten minutes, hit Globe Life Field across the street, and reach Texas Live, a sports-bar-meets-food-hall complex, without calling a car. The stadium itself is a sight, with the world's largest retractable roof and a video board the size of a block. For Mavericks or Stars games at American Airlines Center, expect a 20-30 minute drive into Dallas. Texas barbecue is non-negotiable — try Pecan Lodge in Deep Ellum or Hard Eight closer to Arlington, and fajitas run $15-25 a plate. Fly into DFW International, 25-30 minutes from Arlington, or Love Field, 40 minutes; Uber from DFW runs $30-45, double on event days. Spring and fall hit 65-80°F; summer is brutal at 95-105°F. We pulled 10 hotels within walking distance of the stadium, from the brand-new luxury Live by Loews and the resort-scale Loews Arlington Hotel down to budget-friendly Hampton Inn Suites Dallas-Arlington North.

Sheraton Arlington Hotel is a 4-star hotel on Convention Center Drive in the heart of Arlington's Entertainment District, in Arlington, Texas. The location is the real draw: it sits right next to Esports Stadium Arlington, one of the largest esports arenas in North America, and stays within easy reach of both AT&T Stadium (home of the Dallas Cowboys) and Globe Life Field (home of the Texas Rangers) — so fans flying in for a game, a concert or an esports tournament can get to the venues fast. What stands out beyond the price is the review score: it ranks Top 2 in Arlington on TripAdvisor. On site you get an outdoor pool to cool off after a long day, a fitness center, an in-house restaurant, and a stadium-area shuttle that earns its keep on big-event days when traffic snarls up.

Which one — by trip style

🏨
#1 walk to AT&T Stadium · in the heart of Texas Live!
Live! by Loews - Arlington, TX

#1 If you've already got a Cowboys game or big-concert ticket for AT&T Stadium, this is the most sensible base on our list — you walk across Texas Live! to the gates in a few minutes, no parking lottery and no cab scramble after the game.

🏨
#2 luxury resort in the heart of the Entertainment District
Loews Arlington Hotel

#2 If you're flying in to watch the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium or the Rangers at Globe Life Field, Loews Arlington is the most complete answer in this district — and it pulls off a genuine sand beach in the middle of Texas.

🏨
#3 Best value in Arlington's stadium district
Drury Plaza Hotel Dallas Arlington

#3 If you want the best value in Arlington's stadium district, we point at Drury Plaza first — the Kickback evening meal alone, with hot food and free drinks, can stand in for dinner, and the cleanliness scores back it all up.

🏨
#4 Best value · next to Esports Stadium, near two stadiums
Sheraton Arlington Hotel

#4 If you're flying in to catch the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium, the Rangers at Globe Life Field, or an esports tournament at the Esports Stadium Arlington right next door, the Sheraton is the best-value pick in the district — starting rates come in lighter than the luxury resorts nearby while keeping every venue close. We like that it scores high enough to land Top 2 in Arlington on TripAdvisor, with an outdoor pool to beat the heat and a stadium-area shuttle for when traffic locks up.

🏨
#5 high-rise tower · good value near the stadiums
Hilton Arlington

#5 If you're flying in for a game at AT&T Stadium or Globe Life Field and want a high-rise in the middle of the Entertainment District at a price you can still stomach, Hilton Arlington lands well — we like that it's freshly renovated, sits on the Arlington Trolley, and runs a free shuttle to the stadiums so you never wrestle with event-day parking.

🏨
#6 walkable to the stadiums · good-value Marriott brand
Courtyard by Marriott Dallas Arlington/Entertainment District

#6 If you want a brand you already trust, a genuinely walkable spot, and rates that do not spike on a whim, this Courtyard is the safe call - the standout is the 15-minute walk to both AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field, and it leans on location and value over luxury.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Arlington safe for tourists, especially around the stadiums?
Yes, the Arlington Entertainment District around AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field, and Texas Live! is well-policed and busy with families and fans most evenings. Use normal big-city common sense after dark — stick to lit walkways, don't leave bags or electronics visible in your parked car, and book Ubers rather than walking long distances at night. Downtown Dallas is also fine in the central core.
When is the best time to visit Dallas-Arlington?
Spring (March-May) and fall (October-November) deliver the most comfortable 65-80°F weather. Summer is brutally hot at 95-105°F, but that's exactly when the biggest stadium concerts and summer events happen at AT&T Stadium — book early and accept the heat. Winters are mild but the rare ice storm can shut everything down for days, so leave buffer time.
Which neighborhood is best for first-time visitors and sports fans?
For sports trips, stay in the Arlington Entertainment District — you walk to AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field, and Texas Live! without needing a car. For broader Dallas sightseeing (museums, Deep Ellum nightlife, Mavericks/Stars at American Airlines Center), downtown Dallas or Uptown is better but requires a 20-30 minute drive to the Arlington stadiums on game day.
How do I get from DFW airport to Arlington?
Uber or Lyft is the standard answer — 25-30 minutes and roughly $30-45 on a normal day, double during big events. There is no train link. Renting a car at DFW gives you the most flexibility for hitting downtown Dallas and Fort Worth on the same trip; rates run $40-80 per day. Hotel shuttles are rare here, so don't count on one.
Do I need a car if I'm only here for a game or concert?
If your plan is purely stadium plus Texas Live! plus your hotel, no — you can walk everything from the Entertainment District. But Arlington is built around cars, so any side trip to Dallas, Fort Worth, the Stockyards, or DFW airport will need a rental or rideshare. Budget an extra $30-50 per day for Ubers if you're skipping the rental.
What's tipping like in Texas, and what payment methods work?
Tipping is expected — 18-20% at restaurants, $1-2 per drink at bars, $1-2 per bag for porters, and round up for Uber drivers. Credit cards are accepted virtually everywhere, including taxis and small stalls — Apple Pay and Google Pay work at most chains. Carry a little cash for tips and the occasional small vendor, but you rarely need much.
