Fair Park will transform into the official gathering place for fans throughout the tournament, offering live match screenings on massive screens, live music, food vendors, art exhibits, and more. The Fan Festival is free to attend and will be open throughout the tournament. It’s designed to bring together fans from every country, creating the kind of international atmosphere that makes the World Cup so special. You’ll find yourself surrounded by people from around the world, all united by their love of the game.
Fair Park sits just 2 miles from The Gaston, making us one of the closest boutique accommodations to the festival grounds.
Why Finding the Perfect Place to Stay in Dallas During the World Cup Matters
AT&T Stadium in Arlington (referred to as Dallas Stadium for World Cup events) sits about 30 minutes west of The Gaston in Arlington. That’s close enough to make getting to matches easy, but far enough that you won’t be dealing with stadium area congestion when you just want to grab coffee or enjoy a meal.
East Dallas gives you walkable access to Deep Ellum, one of the city’s most interesting neighborhoods for music, dining, and street art. You’re not stuck in a Dallas hotel tower surrounded by highways and parking lots. You’re in a real neighborhood with character, and that makes all the difference when you’re staying for several days.
What Makes The Gaston Different from Dallas Hotels
Most visitors coming for the World Cup will book large chain hotels near the stadium or downtown convention center; properties designed to handle big events. built to handle massive crowds and quick turnarounds. Those hotels work if you simply need a bed between matches.
The Gaston offers a different way to stay. For groups traveling together, the entire home can be reserved as a full-house rental, comfortably hosting up to 10 guests across five thoughtfully designed suites (all with en-suite bathrooms). It’s an ideal option for friends or families who want to experience the World Cup together, gathering in shared living spaces, unwinding in the garden, and enjoying the privacy of having the house to yourselves, all without stadium congestion or downtown traffic.
For individual travelers, single suite bookings are also available, offering the same design-forward experience and access to inviting common areas. Our historic 1912 Craftsman bungalow feels more like staying with friends than checking into a hotel. The rooms are beautifully styled, the common spaces invite you to relax with a drink or a book, and the garden provides a quiet place to decompress after a long day at the stadium or Fan Festival.
We’re small enough that our team knows your name, yet refined enough to impress travelers accustomed to upscale hotels around the world. The Gaston strikes the right balance between comfort, style, and calm, exactly what you’ll appreciate during World Cup season.
