Stay near Globe Life Field and you can walk to a Rangers game, with AT&T Stadium less than half a mile away too. Arlington's Entertainment District packs baseball, football, concerts, Six Flags Over Texas and a strip of restaurants and bars into one walkable patch, and Arlington has no train, so where you sleep matters more than usual.
All five are within 1 mile of the ballpark, at more than one price point. We list them closest first.
How we ranked these hotels near Globe Life Field
Walking distance comes first. Globe Life Field draws crowds for 81-plus home games a year, plus concerts and special events, so the gap between a 2-minute walk and a 15-minute walk is real.
We measured each walk along streets and paths from the ballpark and used a standard urban pace of 20 minutes per mile to convert distances into walk times, then, within any 0.1-mile band, put the higher star rating first. After that came guest scores from verified stays, then sustainability credentials.
Arlington has no fixed-rail transit. The city is car-oriented, and the Entertainment District is designed around surface parking and rideshare drop zones. If you arrive by train, the TRE stops at CentrePort Station, and Arlington On-Demand, the city's app-booked rideshare service, covers the trip from there.

Game-day logistics worth knowing
- If you're at Loews Arlington or Live! by Loews, the ballpark is a short walk away. Rideshare drop-off and pickup are in the northbound lanes of Nolan Ryan Expressway, between Randol Mill Road and Road to Six Flags.
- The Sheraton and Courtyard are on Convention Center Drive and Nolan Ryan Expressway respectively. They are a 16- and 18-minute walk, but rideshare pickup after night games can take 20-plus minutes due to surge demand in the district.
- Parking at Entertainment District hotels fills fast on event days. If you're driving in, confirm your hotel's parking policy before arrival, as some properties charge separately for event-night parking.
Transit options near Globe Life Field
Arlington is between Dallas and Fort Worth but has no light rail or commuter rail stop. The city runs Arlington On-Demand, an app-booked rideshare service that covers all of Arlington and connects to the TRE at CentrePort Station. For most visitors, a personal vehicle or rideshare is the practical choice.
Hotels on Nolan Ryan Expressway and Convention Center Drive are within the district's designated rideshare pickup zones, which speeds up post-event departures compared to hotels further out. Globe Life shares the Arlington entertainment district with AT&T Stadium, so the same hotels work for a Cowboys or Rangers trip.
