Hotels you can walk to in the Mortgage Matchup Center district

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.

Walking from your hotel to the doors

Downtown grid, light rail spine

The Valley Metro light rail runs along Washington and Jefferson within a block of the arena, so hotels further up Central Avenue are a short ride rather than a long walk.

  1. 1Walk south on 1st, 2nd or 3rd Street toward Jefferson.
  2. 2Cross Washington and Jefferson at the signals — both are one-way and quick.
  3. 3Enter on the Jefferson Street side, where the main box office and doors are.

Note: In summer, use the shaded CityScape arcade rather than the open blocks on 3rd Street.

Our walkable-only rule

Every hotel on this page has a continuous pedestrian route from an entrance visitors actually use at Mortgage Matchup 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.
