The two stadiums sit on opposite ends of LA, and the hotel scenes around each are totally different. Near SoFi, most of the convenient options are clustered around LAX — big-brand, practical, and transit-accessible, ranging from basic airport hotels to spots with nice perks like pools and spas. That said, I’ve also included a few higher-end picks if you’re after more than just a place to crash between fixtures. Over in Pasadena near the Rose Bowl, you’ll find a good mix of hotels with a little more character. Whether you’re coming for the first whistle of the World Cup or the global club showcase, these are the best hotels near both the Rose Bowl and SoFi Stadium for fans looking to stay close to the action.
We hope you love the hotels near SoFi Stadium we recommend! Just so you know, Matador may collect a small commission from the links on this page if you decide to book a stay. Listed prices are accurate as of the time of publication.

If you’re planning to catch a Club World Cup match at the Rose Bowl, the Courtyard by Marriott in Old Town Pasadena puts you within a five-minute drive of the stadium. The property underwent an almost $13 million renovation in 2024, and it shows in the modern, minimalist rooms outfitted with comfortable beds, mini-fridges, and functional workspaces, ideal if you’re squeezing in a bit of remote work. You can grab a pre-match drink or dinner downstairs at the Courtyard Kitchen & Bar, or step out into Old Town’s walkable grid, where local favorites like Mi Piace — an upscale Italian spot — and Union, known for its seasonal Californian menu, are just a short walk away. There’s also a small outdoor pool and a gym, but the biggest perk is that the Memorial Park Metro Station is only a short walk away, linking you to the rest of LA without the headache of traffic or parking.

For fans coming to Pasadena with a creative streak, Hotel Dena delivers a matchday base that’s anything but generic. Just an eight-minute drive or a single bus transfer from the Rose Bowl, this 311-room property nods to the city’s performing arts scene at every turn — from murals by LA-based artists to a screening room behind the lobby. Rooms come stocked with Blind Barber bath products and can be outfitted with Lume Cube ring lights on request, ideal for creators filming or taking photos during their stay. There are two onsite dining venues: Lyric serves typical SoCal breakfasts, while Agents Only, a speakeasy-style lounge, hosts live sets ranging from jazz to stand-up. Between games, take a break by the heated outdoor pool or duck into Old Town, less than 10 minutes away on foot, for galleries, bars, and bookstores worth browsing.

Just east of Old Town on Colorado Boulevard — and right on the Rose Parade route — Pasadena Hotel & Pool sits seven minutes from the Rose Bowl and close to one of the most straightforward game-day transit options: a direct 30-minute bus ride from right outside the door. Originally opened in 1926, the building still wears its Jazz Age bones proudly, with a Mediterranean courtyard, Deco-style lobby, and a rooftop pool that’s become a local fixture in summer. The 161 rooms are modernized but keep a sense of quiet formality, with leather desk chairs, spa-style robes, and roomy bathrooms. South Lake Avenue, with its block of restaurants and shops, is just around the corner, and the hotel’s own lobby bar pours everything from cold brew in the morning to cocktails at night. The 24-hour gym is a plus for early risers or late arrivals, and if you’re sticking around post-match, the Huntington Library and Pasadena Playhouse are both just a short drive away.

Set on 23 manicured acres just 10 minutes from the Rose Bowl, The Langham Huntington has been Pasadena’s answer to old-world luxury for more than a century. This five-star property sits at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains in a quiet residential pocket, where stone paths wind through Japanese gardens and palm-lined lawns. The hotel’s 379 rooms, suites, and freestanding cottages are spread across multiple buildings, with options ranging from classically styled doubles to luxury retreats with mountain views and marble bathrooms. It’s not walkable to the stadium, but the hotel offers far more than just a place to sleep — there’s an outdoor heated pool, a croquet lawn, and one of the area’s top spas. The Langham’s position also makes for easy access to nearby cultural landmarks like the Norton Simon Museum, or a post-match dinner in Old Pasadena.

For those who’d prefer peace and quiet over a central location, The Patrician Hollywood Universal offers a high-end alternative in the hills just west of downtown Pasadena. This five-star guesthouse is less than 10 minutes by car from the Rose Bowl, but feels far removed from the city’s main grid. With just a handful of rooms and suites, a stay here is more intimate. There’s no restaurant onsite, but you’ll have access to a shared kitchen, and complimentary parking makes it easy to head out for a pre-match bite in nearby Old Town. While you’ll need a car to reach most things, what you get in return is peace, space, and standout service in a setting that feels more private villa than hotel.

The Westin Pasadena is just a few blocks east of Old Town and still within a short drive of the Rose Bowl. It’s the only hotel in the city with a rooftop pool, offering panoramic views of Pasadena’s City Hall dome, the San Gabriel foothills, and the low-slung grid of surrounding neighborhoods. While the tower-like exterior doesn’t give much away, the interiors blend Southwestern accents with marble floors and a lobby lounge that feels part co-working space, part library. The rooms are upscale, with warm tones, soft lighting, and Westin’s signature pillow-heavy beds, with most overlooking the mountains or the hotel’s central courtyard. On the ground floor, Ventanas Restaurant & Bar serves shareable plates and mains centered on California-grown produce, with seating available both indoors and out. Memorial Park Station is about a 10-minute walk, making it easy to hop on the Metro if you’re heading elsewhere after the match.

With SoFi Stadium just a few miles from LAX, many of the most convenient hotels for matchday are airport hotels — but don’t let that put you off. These properties are some of the best-connected in the city, offering quick rides to both the stadium and the beach. Prices will rise closer to the tournament, so booking early is recommended.
The Hilton Los Angeles Airport is a solid option along Century Boulevard, just 10 minutes from SoFi Stadium and one mile from the terminals. It’s a large, practical option — especially if you’re traveling with a group or need multiple rooms — and offers all the basics for a match weekend without the higher price tag of some neighboring properties. There’s a free 24-hour airport shuttle, EV charging stations, and a spacious outdoor pool. The hotel has multiple dining options on-site, including a full-service restaurant, a 24-hour café with Starbucks coffee, and in-room dining. Rooms are straightforward but clean and comfortable, and the hotel is pet-friendly, with connecting room options and flexible layouts for families or friend groups traveling together.

It’s not the closest hotel to SoFi, but Hotel Figueroa has one of the more compelling backstories of any place you could stay during the tournament. Opened in 1926 as a women-only hotel — founded, financed, and operated entirely by women — it was led by Maude Bouldin, a motorcycle-riding, plane-flying hotel manager who created a rare space for female travelers in an era when many hotels required male chaperones. Nearly a century later, following a thoughtful renovation, the hotel still honors that legacy with exhibitions, programs, and partnerships with women artists and organizers — including serving as a polling site during the 2024 election. Rooms are quiet and moody, with tiled bathrooms, carved wood accents, and warm Spanish Colonial detailing. On the ground floor, Café Fig does tuna tostadas and breakfast plates, while the poolside Deme serves mezze and grilled meats beneath a mural that spans the far wall. As part of Hyatt’s Unbound Collection, it’s also a smart option for those looking to redeem or earn points.

If you’re looking for something beyond the usual airport hotel circuit, Hotel June West LA is worth the extra few minutes’ drive. About 15 minutes from SoFi and positioned closer to the coast than the terminals, this 250-room property offers a more independent feel than the bigger LAX brands. Set in a mid-century building designed by LA architect Welton Becket, the hotel was reimagined during the pandemic by Proper Hospitality as a more design-conscious, lifestyle-friendly alternative — without the price tag of a Proper Hotel stay. Rooms feature white oak platform beds, noise-canceling windows, Aesop bath products, and Apple TVs, with thoughtful touches like built-in wireless chargers and desks for remote work. The main draw here, though, is the scene around the Caravan Swim Club: a Baja-inspired pool deck and terrace with fire pits, a raw bar, and an all-day menu curated by Steve Livigni, the LA hospitality veteran behind Scopa and other well-known Westside spots. For World Cup travelers who want a break from airport bustle but still need easy access to SoFi, it’s a great alternative with character and coastal access baked in.

Of the big LAX hotels along West Century Boulevard, the Los Angeles Airport Marriott stands out. The location is just as convenient (10–12 minutes to SoFi Stadium and a few blocks from the terminals) as other major brand hotels, but the experience feels a notch more refined. Rooms are well-insulated from runway noise and include plush bedding, soundproof windows, and large workstations. Downstairs, you’ll find a resort-style outdoor pool, three full-service dining options (including the steakhouse-style JW and the more casual Social Market & Eatery), plus a Starbucks. The gym is large, the lobby is busy (there’s always someone to help), and the 55,000 square feet of meeting space often fills with a mix of events and international travelers. Like its neighbors, the hotel offers a free 24-hour airport shuttle, and will likely have better transport option to SoFi come next year.

If you’re aiming for proximity to both SoFi Stadium and LAX, again the cluster of hotels along West Century Boulevard is hard to beat. The Sheraton Gateway isn’t my top pick among them, but if you’re sitting on Marriott Bonvoy points, it’ll do in a pinch. Just a 10-minute drive to the stadium, the hotel’s biggest strengths are location and scale: 802 rooms, a free 24-hour airport shuttle, and a full roster of amenities, including a large outdoor pool, round-the-clock gym, and multiple on-site dining options like Shula’s 347 Grill and a Brasserie buffet. Rooms come with Sheraton Sweet Sleeper beds and all the standard touches — coffee makers, minibars, and optional Club Level upgrades for extra perks. It’s a straightforward stay built for volume, with conveniences like a lobby Starbucks, 24-hour room service, and enough space to accommodate a lot of people.

A luxe option near the water, Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica is a 20-minute drive from the stadium and sits right at the edge of the sand at the end of Pico Boulevard. This long-standing hotel has built its reputation on thoughtful design, East Coast architectural touches, and service that feels personal without being showy. Rooms channel a sense of old-school coastal comfort: built-in bookshelves, soaking tubs behind shuttered windows, and balconies that open to the breeze and ocean air. Coast, the hotel’s casual restaurant, offers a daytime menu that includes cold-pressed juices, lemon ricotta pancakes, and protein-heavy dishes like steak and eggs with salsa verde, while 1 Pico specializes in local seafood — bluefin toro steak, lobster spaghetti — served under 11-foot ceilings with water views from every table. There’s no official SoFi shuttle, but the front desk will help you sort a ride, or a bike if you’re heading up the boardwalk after the match.

For something a little less corporate but still well-situated, the Sonesta Los Angeles Airport LAX offers a fresher take on the typical airport stay. Just 10 minutes from SoFi and less than a mile from the terminals, the hotel was recently renovated and now features a more modern aesthetic than some of its neighbors. Rooms are outfitted with updated finishes, and sound-blocking windows, with select options offering city views. There’s a heated outdoor pool and 24-hour fitness center, along with four on-site dining venues that range from casual café fare to more upscale options. A free 24-hour airport shuttle runs regularly, and while it’s not the flashiest option in the area, it’s clean, comfortable, and easy to navigate — exactly what you want before or after a match.

The Lum Hotel in Inglewood is one of the closest hotels to SoFi Stadium — just under a mile from the entrance, or about a 15-minute walk. The location alone makes it an easy pick for matchgoers who want to avoid the transportation shuffle entirely. The 179-room hotel is part of Sonder’s portfolio, with a contemporary layout that prioritizes comfort and smart, useful details — private balconies or terraces, streaming-enabled HDTVs, and minimalist workspaces. The rooftop bar and lounge, which overlooks the stadium and Hollywood Park, is one of the area’s better post-match hangouts. There’s also a resort-style pool, a hot tub with umbrella service, and a 24-hour gym. For the price point, it’s hard to beat the convenience — especially if you’re planning to walk to the stadium and back.

Set directly on the water in Marina del Rey — closer to the docks than to the stadium — this Ritz-Carlton is one of the few World Cup options that offers a quieter, more resort-like stay without leaving Los Angeles. It’s a 15-minute drive to SoFi, and the hotel sits on one of the largest recreational marinas in the world. Rooms have private balconies that overlook either the harbor or skyline, and there’s a saltwater pool, waterfront tennis courts, and even paddleboards for rent if you’re taking a rest day between matches. Cast & Plow, the hotel’s restaurant, keeps its focus local with seasonal California menus and ingredients sourced from nearby farms and markets, and the outdoor terrace and fire pits stay busy at golden hour. At the time of writing, the hotel couldn’t confirm a dedicated shuttle to SoFi, but the concierge can arrange transport. It’s not the kind of place you’d expect to find a fan crowd, which may be exactly the point.

Just eight minutes from the stadium, The Westin Los Angeles Airport doesn’t feel like your average layover hotel. Renovated in 2024 as part of a $45 million overhaul, the property has 750 rooms and suites, all outfitted with Westin’s signature Heavenly Beds, upgraded workspaces, and large bathrooms stocked with spa-style amenities. The refresh extended to the lobby, the bar, and the Westin Club, where Club Level guests can grab breakfast and non-alcoholic drinks throughout the day. The Westin also puts you within easy reach of LA’s coastal stretch — beaches like Playa del Rey and El Segundo are a 15-minute shuttle ride away, and the hotel even offers a surf concierge who can guide you to the best breaks. Back on-site, there’s a large gym with Peloton bikes, a heated pool, and a restaurant that fills up with a mix of leisure travelers and locals heading out to SoFi. Complimentary airport shuttles run around the clock, and EV drivers will find more than 40 charging stations in the parking lot.
