Arlington, Texas, welcomes more than 10 million tourists every year – some simply come to town for the weekend to watch the Dallas Cowboys or the Texas Rangers at their home stadiums. Others stay for longer, making the most of everything the entertainment capital of North Texas has to offer. There’s a hotel for every type of stay in the city. Here are some of the best hotels in Arlington, Texas – bookable on Culture Trip.

This Arlington hotel is less than a 10-minute drive from both Six Flags Theme Park and the AT&T Stadium – home of the Dallas Cowboys. Rooms are smart spaces with Arlington-themed artworks on the walls – some come with balconies and others have patios that give you direct access to the hotel’s pool. There’s a bar-restaurant on-site, too: the Brass Spur serves classic American dishes like hamburgers and Texan steaks in big portions.

Hilton Arlington, for a reliable classic

Teal-blue soft furnishings and some seriously funky lamps make this Hilton a more characterful offering than most; a fitness center and illuminated outdoor pool seal the deal. Sports fans, rejoice: here, you’re just 2mi (3.2km) from Texas Rangers games at Globe Life Field and Dallas Cowboys games at AT&T Stadium. You’re also just 15 minutes’ drive from DFW Airport, should you need to catch a red-eye.

The location alone makes Live by Loews a contender for the best hotel in Arlington title. It’s next door to the Choctaw Stadium and across the road from the AT&T Stadium, and you can see the arenas from the floor-to-ceiling windows of many of the rooms. The hotel is also packed with facilities – highlights include the stadium-view cocktail bar, the steakhouse and the infinity pool with its in-water loungers and poolside cabanas that come with Netflix and an Xbox.
