Aloft by Marriott Dallas Arlington Entertainment District
A 136-room Aloft on East Lamar Boulevard, a short drive from both stadiums and Six Flags
Arlington, Arlington
About this stay
This Aloft covers both of Arlington's big draws from a single base: 2.6 km from Globe Life Park and AT&T Stadium, 3.8 km from Six Flags Over Texas. Comfortable, air-conditioned rooms keep things simple, while the property's real personality shows in the bar and lounge, which hosts live music on select evenings, a rarity among Arlington's stadium-adjacent hotels. The seasonal outdoor pool covers the warm months, and a fitness centre, lift and 24-hour front desk handle the practical side. Free WiFi runs throughout, and an electric vehicle charging station is available for anyone driving one in (express check-in and check-out plus luggage storage suit a quick stadium-district stop as much as a longer stay).
- Opened in 2019, 136 rooms

- W XYZ bar with live music in the evening
- Outdoor pool open in summer only
- Dogs up to 40 lb, two per room, in limited rooms
- One electric car charging station
Our take
The Aloft sits at 2140 East Lamar Boulevard, in The Village at Ballpark, on the north side of Arlington's Entertainment District, with Globe Life Field, AT&T Stadium and Six Flags Over Texas all under 3 km away by road. It opened in 2019 with 136 rooms, so the building is newer than most of the motels along the I-30 exits. Guests score it 8.7 out of 10 across 231 reviews. I would book it for a Rangers series, a Cowboys weekend or two days at Six Flags with a dog in the car. I would not book it for a winter stay built around the pool: the outdoor pool opens only in the summer months, and there is no spa on site.
- Arlington has no fixed-route city bus or train, and the city's shared Arlington On-Demand vans do not run on Sundays, the day most Cowboys home games are played: plan a car or a rideshare for game day.
- The Arlington Trolley carries registered guests of participating hotels, with a pass from the front desk, but rides to AT&T Stadium are fare-free only on days without a major stadium event; ask at check-in whether this hotel is on the list.
- Dogs are accepted in a limited number of rooms, up to two per room and under 40 lb each, so tell the hotel about your dog before you arrive.
- If you drive an electric car, the hotel has a single charging station, so plug in on arrival rather than counting on it the night before a long drive.

Why guests love itThis is a compact, modern base for a ballgame or a theme-park weekend rather than a resort. Its 136 rooms date from 2019, the W XYZ bar keeps a live-music programme in the evening, and the re:fuel pantry stays open around the clock for snacks after a late game. Globe Life Field and AT&T Stadium sit within a few minutes' drive, and Six Flags Over Texas, is just as close. Families should know two things. The outdoor pool is open in summer only, so a spring-break visit means no swimming. And the hotel runs no shuttle of its own: in a city without buses or trains, a car or a rideshare does the work, unless the Arlington Trolley serves the hotel during your stay. In summer, Six Flags Hurricane Harbor water park is on the same boulevard, at 1800 East Lamar, a few blocks west.
