The FIFA World Cup is fast approaching, with soccer fans from around the country (and world) traveling to catch the dozens of games taking place across the U.S. and North America. Given that it’s (possibly) the final World Cup for Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, there will be extra attention on what’s already the world’s most-watched sporting event and the biggest World Cup ever.

Of the three host countries, Canada and Mexico have a total of five venues, while the U.S. has 11, including Miami, Los Angeles, Houston, New York/New Jersey, and Atlanta.  

In addition to actually getting to the games, fans traveling to the World Cup will have to consider where to stay. With hotels and accommodations quickly filling up, now’s the time to jump on lodging. Not sure where to stay? Hilton has some of the best properties near the games, with amenities for making the most of your stay, whether or not your favorite team wins. 

It’s also worth signing up for Hilton Honors, the hotel chain’s free rewards program — members get perks like discounted rates, points toward free nights, free WiFi, and convenient features like digital check-in and a digital key. Hilton is also running a summer sale, getting members up to 20% off stays if you book by June 1 and stay by January 2027. 

Here are some of the best places to stay for fans looking to attend the games. 

Hilton Miami Downtown

The Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens will host a total of seven matches during the World Cup. One option to see the sights of Miami and catch a game is the Hilton Miami Downtown, located directly on the Biscayne Bay and adjacent to Miami Beach. The hotel also includes amenities like an outdoor pool, a fitness center, and dining, including the 1601 Lounge, Brisa Bistro, and poolside cocktails.
