Walking directions
Walk times are estimates based on an average adult walking pace from the listed entrance. Actual times vary with your gate, game day crowd flow, and street closures. Google Maps may choose a different gate or omit private indoor connections; follow the listed route notes and venue access rules for onsite hotels.
Park Slope and Williamsburg listings are excluded — both are well beyond 15 minutes on foot even though the subway makes them feel close.

Our walkable-only rule
Every hotel on this page has a continuous pedestrian route from an entrance visitors actually use at Barclays Center, measured through the surrounding streets rather than across the block. Anything beyond roughly a 15-minute walk, or separated by a highway, river or rail corridor with no crossing, is excluded — however close it looks on a map.
