If you’ve got plans to attend an event here any time soon, you might be wondering what the closest hotels are within walking distance of the Manchester Arena, or the AO Arena just north of the city centre.
Well, we’ve explored the area and here’s what we found within a 8 minute walk away to the arena.
For the purpose of our calculations, walking distances are based on the best possible route on foot from the hotel in question to the nearest main entrance point of the stadium using Google Maps handy walking feature.
Exact walking distances will therefore vary slightly depending on which end of the stadium you will be situated.
| Manchester Hotel | Walking distance to Manchester Arena | Booking.com ratings | Check availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Park Inn by Radisson Manchester City Centre (4 star hotel) | 0.1 mile (3 minute walk to Trinity Way entrance) | 7.9 / 10 (8,000+ reviews) | Check availability |
| Hotel Indigo Manchester - Victoria Station, an IHG Hotel (4 star hotel) | 0.1 mile (3 minute walk to Hunts Bank entrance) | 8.9 / 10 (5,000+ reviews) | Check availability |

As illustrated in the table above, exact walking distances from your hotel to the stadium will depend on which side you will be entering from.
In this instance, we’ve made our calculations based on the closest side of the stadium to the hotel, and therefore exact walking distances and times will differ very slightly if you are entering from another end. Please allow roughly 5 minutes to make it to the opposite ends.
