MetLife Stadium sits 10 miles west in East Rutherford, New Jersey. During the tournament, transit runs via Meadowlands Rail Line shuttle from Secaucus Junction and dedicated busway.
Hard Rock Hotel New York sits steps from Penn Station and Port Authority — where stadium transit originates. Your journey starts from our lobby, not a parking lot. After the match, you're back in Manhattan. Where everything else is.
Transit Tip: Secaucus Junction is most direct from Midtown. Plan 45–60 minutes pre-match.
Floor-to-ceiling windows. In-room Lavazza® coffee for pre-match mornings. Built-in banquettes for pre-game strategy sessions.
Connect up to two rooms for squads who travel together — or inquire about exclusive rates for larger groups. Whether you're here for one match or staying through the Final, our rooms are sized for how soccer fans actually travel.
Fuel up at Sessions, then head upstairs to RT60 Rooftop Bar & Lounge for skyline views, cocktails, and late-night energy that keeps going long after the final whistle. From post match drinks to weekend DJs under the city lights, the night doesn’t stop here.
Your match-week HQ in Midtown.
The Goal to Gotham package includes daily breakfast and a $100 credit to RT60 Rooftop Bar & Lounge — with a 2-night minimum stay that puts you in New York City for the full experience, not just the 90 minutes at the stadium.
