Partly. The skywalks link several convention-district hotels, but the final blocks to the fieldhouse doors are outdoors.
Our walkable-only rule
Every hotel on this page has a continuous pedestrian route from an entrance visitors actually use at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, 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.
