NBA All-Star Game Hotels & Weekend Packages
NBA All-Star Weekend is a three-night festival built around one arena: Rising Stars, All-Star Saturday Night and the All-Star Game itself. Tickets, parties and media events concentrate into downtown cores and entertainment districts where hotel rooms sell out early.
TheFinalShotels.com focuses on hotels that work with All-Star logistics: walkable or short-ride access to the arena, nightlife areas, sponsor activations and fan events — without sending you an hour out of town after midnight.

- 🚶 Many guests choose walkable hotels close to the arena and nightlife districts.

Best Hotel Areas for NBA All-Star Weekend
Because the host city changes, we build each trip around two main hotel strategies: arena-adjacent stays and downtown / entertainment district hotels.
Near the Arena
- • Business and upscale hotels within short walk or quick ride
- • Easier timing for arrivals, departures and late-night returns
- • Popular with media, team partners and hardcore fans
- • Limited inventory that tightens once the host city is confirmed
Downtown & Nightlife Districts
- • 4- and 5-star properties in city-center locations
- • Short rideshare or public transit to the arena
- • Surrounded by bars, restaurants and late-night options
- • Ideal for groups combining basketball with city break vibes
When you contact us, tell us whether you prefer to be right by the arena, in the heart of the nightlife, or balanced between the two.
