Best Luxury Hotel Stay in Arlington
Luxury in Arlington comes down to one address near Six Flags: the La Quinta by Wyndham Arlington North on 6 Flags Drive, less than half a mile from the park entrance with an outdoor pool, hot tub, pet-friendly rooms and a daily shuttle covering DFW Airport, Cowboys Stadium and other stops within 5 miles. Its 8.6 rating across more than 1,200 reviews, the highest review count of any Arlington property on this list, points to a property that holds up under heavy repeat traffic rather than a boutique one-off.
Stays in Arlington
Arlington's luxury tier is defined less by marble lobbies than by a shuttle that removes the hassle of theme-park parking and stadium traffic altogether. The La Quinta by Wyndham Arlington North earns its luxury tag through convenience layered onto comfort: HD cable TV with premium channels, an outdoor pool and hot tub, and a daily transfer service reaching DFW Airport and Cowboys Stadium within a 5-mile radius, all from a base under half a mile from Six Flags Over Texas.
The daily shuttle is the property's standout feature, covering DFW Airport, Cowboys Stadium and other stops within 5 miles of Arlington, a service that turns a car-dependent city into a manageable trip without constant driving. Combined with a continental breakfast, bar and lounge on site, it removes several of the small frictions that usually chip away at a luxury stay.
Rooms carry a flat-screen HD cable TV with premium channels, a microwave, refrigerator and coffee-making facilities, and the property allows pets, a rare combination of comfort and flexibility at this end of Arlington's market. An outdoor pool and hot tub round out the on-site amenities, with a business centre and fitness centre covering anyone combining the stay with work.
A traveler's perspectiveWe used the shuttle to get to Cowboys Stadium for a concert and skipped the parking entirely, dropped off right at the gate and picked up again after the show without circling for a spot. The hot tub back at the hotel afterward felt like the payoff for a day that otherwise involved a lot of walking, and being pet-friendly meant we did not have to board the dog for the trip.
