The best hotels near Inter&Co Stadium (officially Inter.co Stadium since July 2026) are the downtown Orlando towers a 10- to 25-minute walk east and north of the stadium, so you can skip match-day parking and walk back after the final whistle. The stadium sits at 655 West Church Street in Parramore, on the west edge of downtown, and the AC Hotel Orlando Downtown is the closest hotel, about 0.6 miles away on foot.
One naming note before you search. The home of Orlando City SC and the Orlando Pride opened in 2017, was later known as Exploria Stadium, became Inter&Co Stadium on January 18, 2024 and, since an announcement on July 23, 2026, is officially Inter.co Stadium, the name the club and the venue now use. It is the same building, and booking sites, maps and hotel pages still mix all three names. The Orlando Storm of the UFL also play spring football here.
Below are seven hotels ranked by walking distance, then a match-day guide to parking, the free LYMMO bus, SunRail, road closures and bags. Going to a Magic game or a bowl game too? Our guides to hotels near the Kia Center and hotels near Camping World Stadium use the same downtown base.
Quick answer: Book the AC Hotel Orlando Downtown for the shortest walk (about 11 minutes). Hotel Beauden (the former Grand Bohemian) adds a rooftop pool about 14 minutes away, Embassy Suites by Hilton Orlando Downtown is the family pick with suites and free breakfast, and Aloft Orlando Downtown is the most pet-friendly. Drivers who want cheaper parking should look at the Crowne Plaza Orlando-Downtown, which lists $25 self-parking and a free local shuttle.

How we chose these hotels
We started with the brand-name hotels inside roughly 1.2 walking miles of the stadium (all with official pages that list parking, pools and policies) and kept the seven closest, measured to the stadium’s east side on South Terry Avenue, where Gate B and the Mane Street fan plaza are. Walking times come from OpenStreetMap foot routing at 3 mph and driving distances from OSRM without traffic, so treat both as estimates.
Parking, pools, breakfast and pet rules come from each hotel’s official Marriott, Hilton or IHG page, mostly archived copies (dated in each entry). We did not stay at these hotels and do not use review scores. Rates vary by season, availability and how far ahead you book.

Inter.co Stadium match-day guide for hotel guests
Walking from your hotel
From the Church Street and Orange Avenue hotels, the walk runs west under I-4 into Parramore. The Mane Street fan plaza, at West Pine Street and South Terry Avenue on the stadium’s east side, opens two and a half to three hours before Orlando City and Orlando Pride home matches (the two official stadium guides differ).
The free LYMMO bus
LYNX says LYMMO is free, and its Grapefruit Line serves Parramore, the Kia Center, the SunRail station, Inter & Co Stadium, City Hall, the Dr. Phillips Center and Lake Eola. The Orange Line links Creative Village, LYNX Central Station and downtown. Both lines run Monday to Friday from 6 am and on weekends from 8 am, until 8:25 pm, with buses every 15 minutes on Saturdays and every 30 minutes on Sundays. Hours may be extended for special events, but plan to walk back after an evening match.
SunRail
SunRail’s Church Street station, near South Street and Garland Avenue, lists the stadium at about 0.4 miles, or 10 minutes on foot. Trains run Monday to Friday only. At the time of writing, the last northbound train leaves Church Street at 10:32 pm and the last southbound train at 11:01 pm, so a weeknight match usually works only if it ends on time. Our guide to getting around Orlando without a car explains fares and connections.
Driving and parking
If you drive in for the day, the stadium’s parking page lists three match-day lots at the time of writing:
| Lot | Address | Listed price |
|---|---|---|
| Exchange Lot | 25 W South St | $15 |
| Lot H | 520 W Pine St | $25 |
| N Tailgate Lot | 22 S Terry Ave | $35 |
Prices change by event, and pre-purchased parking is sold only before match day. The City of Orlando also sells first-come event parking in its downtown garages and lots at $10 to $20 depending on the event ($20 to $30 at the ThreatLocker Garage and Grove Park Lot). The arrival page on the venue’s own site (intercostadium.com) still lists five older numbered lots, while the club’s arrival and parking pages show the three above, so go by the parking page and your confirmation.
Road closures
On match days, stretches of Central Boulevard, Church Street and Glenn Lane close 2.5 hours before kickoff (Church Street between Glenn Lane and South Terry Avenue closes 5 hours before) and reopen about an hour after the match. The stadium’s pages do not list a rideshare zone, so set your pickup a few blocks away from the closures or simply walk back to your hotel.
Gates, bags and stadium rules
- Gates: They open 60 minutes before kickoff unless stated otherwise. For Orlando Pride matches, only Gates A, B, C and D open.
- Bags: Small bags up to 4.5″ x 6.5″ are allowed. For anything larger, the arrival page allows a clear tote up to 12″ x 12″ x 6″, while the A-Z guide says 14″ x 14″ x 6″. A 12″ x 12″ x 6″ clear bag meets both. Backpacks are prohibited, which is another reason to stay close enough to drop things at your hotel.
- Kids: Everyone aged 3 and up needs a ticket, and strollers are not permitted inside.
- Payments and re-entry: The stadium is cashless (card or mobile payment only) and has a strict no re-entry policy.
How to choose a hotel near Inter&Co Stadium
- For the shortest walk, book the AC Hotel, then Hotel Beauden. Both are under 15 minutes from the gates.
- For a pool, pick Hotel Beauden or Home2 Suites (rooftop), or the Marriott, Embassy Suites, Aloft or Crowne Plaza. The AC lists none.
- For families, Embassy Suites (suites and made-to-order breakfast) and Home2 Suites (kitchens and hot breakfast) give you the most space for the money. Remember that strollers are not allowed inside the stadium.
- For drivers, compare the total parking bill. Listed hotel rates run from $25 to $45 a night, and several hotels are valet only.
- For park days too, remember that none of these hotels lists a theme park shuttle. Universal is 9 to 10 miles away by car; if the parks are the main event, compare our hotels near Universal Studios Orlando.
Book as soon as you have tickets, ideally at a refundable rate.
Frequently asked questions
What is the closest hotel to Inter&Co Stadium?
The AC Hotel Orlando Downtown at 333 South Garland Avenue is the closest hotel, about 0.6 miles or 11 minutes on foot to the stadium’s east side. Hotel Beauden is next at about 0.7 miles, and the Marriott Orlando Downtown, Embassy Suites and Aloft are all about 0.8 miles, or 16 minutes, away. Hotel pages often quote shorter straight-line figures, so allow extra time.
Is Inter&Co Stadium the same as Exploria Stadium?
Yes. The soccer stadium at 655 West Church Street opened in 2017 and was known as Exploria Stadium until January 18, 2024, when it became Inter&Co Stadium. On July 23, 2026, the club announced its current official name, Inter.co Stadium. It is still home to Orlando City SC, the Orlando Pride and the Orlando Storm. Some hotel pages still use the Exploria name.
How much is parking at Inter&Co Stadium?
At the time of writing, the stadium lists $15 at the Exchange Lot, $25 at Lot H and $35 at the N Tailgate Lot, and prices can change by event. Pre-purchased parking is sold only before match day. City of Orlando garages and lots nearby charge $10 to $20 for events, or $20 to $30 at the ThreatLocker Garage and Grove Park Lot.
Can you take SunRail to an Orlando City game?
Only on weekdays. SunRail’s Church Street station is about a 10-minute walk from the stadium, but trains run Monday to Friday only, and the last trains leave Church Street at about 10:32 pm northbound and 11:01 pm southbound at the time of writing. For weekend matches, stay within walking distance or plan on a rideshare.
What is the bag policy at Inter&Co Stadium?
The stadium recommends bringing no bag. Small bags up to 4.5″ by 6.5″ are allowed, and larger bags must be clear totes: the arrival page says up to 12″ x 12″ x 6″, while the A-Z guide says 14″ x 14″ x 6″, so a 12″ x 12″ x 6″ clear bag is the safe choice. Backpacks, strollers and umbrellas are prohibited.
How far is Inter&Co Stadium from Universal Orlando?
About 9.6 miles by road to Universal’s parking garages, or roughly 15 minutes without traffic via I-4. Downtown hotels near the stadium are 9.4 to 10.3 miles from Universal, and none of the hotels in this guide lists a theme park shuttle, so plan on driving or a rideshare for park days.
Bottom line
For an Orlando City or Orlando Pride match, stay close enough to walk: the AC Hotel Orlando Downtown is the closest, Hotel Beauden adds a rooftop pool, and Embassy Suites is the best family value with suites and free breakfast. Leave the car at the hotel, carry a small or clear bag, and remember that LYMMO stops at 8:25 pm.
