If you want to walk out of your hotel room and be at Globe Life Field or Dallas Stadium in minutes, two properties stand above the rest in the Arlington Entertainment District. Live! by Loews and Loews Arlington Hotel and Convention Center are the closest full-service hotels to both stadiums, and each offers a different experience depending on what you are looking for.
Here is how they compare.
Live! by Loews sits at 1600 East Randol Mill Road, directly adjacent to Texas Live!. The hotel is less than a mile from Dallas Stadium and within walking distance of Globe Life Field.
The property is a four-star hotel with modern rooms, many offering views of Dallas Stadium or the Entertainment District. Amenities include complimentary WiFi in every room and public space, a swimming pool with an indoor option, a 24-hour fitness center and an on-site restaurant with room service available. The hotel has 13 meeting rooms and over 18,000 square feet of conference space, which makes it popular for business travelers and event groups as well.
Guests consistently highlight the views, the spa-like showers and the convenience of being steps from Texas Live! restaurants and bars. The hotel is pet-friendly (charges apply) and provides pet bowls for traveling guests. Valet parking is available for a fee, and the property includes electric vehicle charging stations.
The hotel is fully wheelchair accessible with dedicated accessible rooms, key-card-restricted elevator access and wheelchair-accessible meeting spaces, restaurants and pool areas.
Loews Arlington Hotel and Convention Center is the larger of the two properties and sits between both stadiums. The hotel provides direct access to the Entertainment District with a different feel from Live! by Loews. It is a convention-scale property with more room configurations and a broader range of on-site amenities.
The hotel is within walking distance of Globe Life Field, Dallas Stadium and Texas Live!. Its position between the venues makes it the most centrally located option in the district for visitors attending events at both stadiums during the 2026 international soccer tournament.
Live! by Loews is the better fit for visitors who want to be directly connected to the Texas Live! dining and entertainment complex. If walking out the door into restaurants, bars and the 100-foot LED screen appeals to you, this is the property.
Loews Arlington is the better fit for visitors who want a larger hotel with more space, convention-level amenities and a central position between both stadiums. If you are traveling with a group or need meeting facilities, this is the property.
Both hotels will be in high demand during the 2026 soccer tournament. Book as early as possible. Prices in the Arlington Entertainment District spike during major events, and these two properties sell out first because of their proximity to the stadiums.
Both hotels put you within walking distance of everything in the Entertainment District. Texas Live! has over a dozen restaurants and bars, including Lockhart Smokehouse, Sports and Social Arlington, PBR Texas and Troy’s. The 100-foot LED screen in the Live! Arena broadcasts match coverage on game days.
Hurtado Barbecue in Downtown Arlington is about a half-mile from the stadiums and serves some of the best brisket in the area. The Nolan Ryan statue at the North Entrance, the Ivan “Pudge” Rodriguez statue at the Southwest Entry and the Adrian Beltré statue at the Northeast Entrance of Globe Life Field are all accessible year-round without a ticket.
Staying at either Loews property means you can walk to a Texas Rangers game without worrying about parking or rideshare. Get tickets to see the Rangers in 2026 and enjoy the convenience of being steps from the gate. Globe Life Field has a retractable roof and air conditioning, so evening games are comfortable regardless of the outdoor temperature.
