These five hotels in Victory Park and Uptown are a 3- to 13-minute walk from American Airlines Center at 2500 Victory Ave, making them practical picks for Mavericks games, Stars nights, and concerts. We ranked them by walking distance first, then star rating, then sustainability credentials.
How this list was built
Walking distance from American Airlines Center drove every placement decision. We measured each hotel's walking route from the arena at 2500 Victory Ave. Where two hotels fell within the same 0.1-mile band, the higher star rating went first. Within the same star tier, any hotel with a verified sustainability credential ranked above one without.
We left out an apartment-style rental in Victory Park because it is not a hotel, and a corporate-suites listing on Harry Hines Boulevard for the same reason.
