All-Star Game
Hotels for NBA All-Star Weekend

NBA All-Star Weekend takes over a host city with a packed schedule: Rising Stars game, Skills Challenge, Three-Point and Slam Dunk contests, plus the All-Star Game itself. On top of that, there are fan festivals, concerts, sponsor experiences and private events across downtown.

• Rotating host arenas in major basketball markets across North America.
• High demand for downtown hotels and properties within walking distance of the arena.
• Additional pressure on room availability from media, VIP guests and sponsor groups.

Most All-Star host cities concentrate activities around the arena and downtown core, but distances and transport options still matter — especially when you’re going from fan events to late-night plans.

• Stay near the arena: Ideal if you want to walk to most official events and avoid late-night rideshares.
• Downtown & entertainment districts: Great for nightlife, restaurants and sponsor parties.
• Transit & rideshare: Many cities offer light rail or easy rideshare access to the arena area.
• Extra nights: Arriving a day early or leaving a day late can reduce stress and sometimes help with rates.
