Azteca sits down in the southern part of the city in an area called Santa Úrsula Coapa — roughly 30 to 45 minutes from the Centro Histórico depending on traffic (and how ambitious your Uber driver is feeling). It’s not exactly the city’s most scenic or walkable neighborhood, but it is where up to 87,000 fans will be piling in to kick off the tournament. So, logistics matter.
If you’re hoping to roll out of bed and stroll to the gates, your options are slim. But plenty of well-located hotels are just a short drive (or even walk) away — and if you stay in Coyoacán, you get the best of both worlds: easy access to the stadium and a leafy neighborhood where cobblestone streets wind past markets, food stalls, and colorful colonial architecture.
There are other exciting neighborhoods to base yourself — Condesa, Roma, Juárez, and San Miguel Chapultepec — which might offer a more interesting stay, especially if this is your first time to CDMX. If that’s more your speed, check out Matador’s guide to Condesa Airbnbs or these rental picks in the city’s trendiest neighborhoods. Just keep in mind that getting across the city on a matchday will not be straightforward.
Whether you’re in town for the opener, one of the knockout rounds, or to enjoy the action from a sports bar, these are the best hotels near Estadio Azteca, from boutique stays with personality to budget-friendly picks — all close enough to the stadium to avoid a major headache.

Agata Hotel is the top five-star boutique in Coyoacán — and easily one of the most atmospheric stays in the neighborhood. This would be my pick if you’re coming to Mexico City for more than just a fixture and appreciate standout service and refined amenities. The property is surrounded by museums, markets, and jacaranda-lined plazas, and the rooms are full of thoughtful details like Kindles, vegan minibars, and locally made textiles. If your match schedule is packed, the on-site spa can help you reset with a facial or massage. You can also unwind on the leafy rooftop terrace or book one of the hotel’s private cooking classes. You’re within walking distance of the Frida Kahlo Museum and Centenario Garden, and Agata’s partnership with local guides makes it easy to arrange tours that dig into the food, history, and culture of the neighborhood.

If you’re flying into CDMX just for the match and need a room to crash and dash that’s clean, straightforward, and close, City Express Plus by Marriott Periférico Sur Tlalpan gets the job done. For under $100 per night, you get what you pay for. That said, it’s one of the only hotels within walking distance of Estadio Azteca — about 35 minutes on foot. Rooms are basic but functional, with desks and minifridges, and breakfast is included (continental with a few Mexican staples). There’s also a small café on site serving hot meals throughout the day. It’s not far from a handful of malls if you’re squeezing in errands or looking to kill time before heading to the stadium.

DoubleTree by Hilton Toluca isn’t close to Estadio Azteca — it’s at least an hour-and-a-half drive (without traffic) — but it’s one to consider if you’re hoping to stay where the teams might be based. With La Nueva Casa del Fútbol nearby — one of the likely training facilities during the tournament — the hotel could be hosting players. This means rooms might already be booked up, but it’s worth checking. It’s located in Toluca’s industrial area, and since there’s no public transport link to the stadium, you’re looking at a ride share or the hotel shuttle if they’re putting one on. The decor’s a little dated, but previous guests rate it highly for comfort, service, and its on-site dining options — a cantina-style restaurant with regional dishes, a casual spot for pizza and salads, and a grab-and-go counter serving Starbucks. There’s also an indoor pool and gym for anyone planning to stick around between fixtures, though chances are you’d be scouting the lobby for players instead.

If you’re looking for something classic and close to Estadio Azteca, the four-star Hacienda Peña Pobre is worth booking now before it fills up. Just 10 minutes from the stadium and backed by Bosque de Tlalpan — a gorgeous green space popular with runners and locals escaping the city — this 18-room hotel feels like a private residence. The building dates back to the 19th century and still wears its heritage well, though interiors have been updated with contemporary furnishings and original art by local creatives. Rooms range from minimalist suites with kitchens to compact duplexes, and while there’s no on-site restaurant, staff are quick with recommendations, and the surrounding area has more dining options than you’d expect this far south. Overall, it’s a quiet, luxurious retreat where you might forget there’s a tournament on — until it’s time to head to the stadium.

Hotel Galería Plaza San Jerónimo is one of the more popular stays among visiting fans. It’s a 15-minute drive to Estadio Azteca, set in the residential Jardines del Pedregal district at the edge of the Sierra Madre foothills. Rooms are large and bright, with light wood floors, modern tech like Bluetooth speakers and flat-screens, and minimalist decor offset by bold accent walls. There’s a gym, yoga space, and three on-site restaurants serving everything from salads to chilaquiles, which is helpful in such a suburban area. The Cuernavaca bike path, just a couple blocks away, runs through the neighborhood and into the foothills. While there’s no bike rental shop on-site, several nearby shops offer day rentals if you’re up for exploring.

This is my pick if you’re going with a branded hotel and don’t mind sitting in some traffic to get more comfort and better service. It’s about 35 minutes from Estadio Azteca — not close, but worth it if you’re sitting on Hyatt points or trying to rack them up. Rooms come with Bluetooth speakers, minibars, rainfall showers, and pillowtop beds with down comforters. There’s a rooftop bar, two restaurants, and a 24-hour fitness center. It’s worth checking with the front desk closer to kickoff to see if they’ll be running a stadium shuttle. It’s also steps from the World Trade Center complex and the mural-covered cultural venue, Poliforum Siqueiros — plus some of Mexico City’s better taco counters.

Punto Lofts Periférico Sur is one of the better apartment-style stays near Estadio Azteca if you want your own setup and a place that feels more lived-in than a standard hotel room. The 18 lofts are modern and designed for longer stays, with laundry, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a decent kitchen setup. It’s a 15-minute drive or a half-hour walk to the stadium. There’s a grocery store a few blocks away, plus neighborhood spots for tacos and coffee if you don’t feel like cooking. Nightly rates start around $100, but you can also book by the week or month.

If you’re traveling with kids and need a four-star hotel near Estadio Azteca, Royal Pedregal might make your shortlist — even if it wouldn’t top mine. It’s not going to win any design awards, but kids under 12 stay free, and you’re just eight minutes from the stadium. That alone could spare you the nightmare of trying to cross town with your young children in gridlocked traffic. Situated in the Jardines en la Montaña neighborhood, the hotel is in a quieter residential pocket just off Periférico Sur. You’re a quick rideshare from Perisur — one of the city’s biggest malls — and the Diego Rivera–designed Anahuacalli Museum if you’ve got downtime to fill. There’s a large outdoor pool, a lobby bar with live music some evenings, and two restaurants on-site: Tezka, a fine-dining spot, and Primavera, which offers a long list of Mexican and international plates, from duck tacos to pear strudel.
