Planning your trip to Philadelphia for the FIFA World Cup?
While hotels near the stadium are sure to fill quickly (and come with peak pricing and crowds), travelers seeking a more relaxed home base can look just beyond the city.
Just 45 minutes away, Artelo Hotel in Kennett Square offers a different kind of stay: one that is creative, comfortable, and close enough to make game day easy.
Why Book a Hotel Outside Philly for the World Cup
The Philadelphia matches will take place at Lincoln Financial Field, located in the city’s sports complex. Staying nearby doesn’t have to mean staying in the city, though.
There’s something to be said for stepping out of the noise once the final whistle blows.
At Artelo, you'll find:
- Spacious, design-forward rooms (each one completely unique).
- A walkable downtown with a wide variety of restaurants, breweries, cocktail bars, and coffee shops.
- Easy, stress-free parking.
- A slower pace that feels like a true getaway, not just a place to sleep.
It’s the kind of stay that lets you experience the World Cup and enjoy your time away.
Getting to the Stadium
Artelo Hotel is located in Kennett Square, PA, about a 45-minute drive to Lincoln Financial Field.
If you prefer public transportation, there is a Regional Rail station about 15 miles away in Wawa. Take the train to Suburban Station (16th & JFK) and walk through the concourse to City Hall Station, then transfer to the Broad Street Line to reach the sports complex.
Game day tips:
- Plan to arrive early for parking and/or security.
- Consider ridesharing for evening matches. Pro tip: schedule your ride in advance to avoid downtime.
- Build in extra time for traffic on high-demand game days.
Artelo is close enough to be convenient, but far enough to feel like a break.
