Dodger Stadium by shuttle or Union Station express
Do any Los Angeles Hotels provide shuttle service to Dodger stadium? Assuming none, what hotels are a short walk away from a Metro ride to Union Station to take express? Thanks.
Most Los Angeles hotels do not provide direct shuttle service to Dodger Stadium, as the stadium is a bit removed from the main hotel areas. However, the stadium is well-connected via public transportation and event-specific shuttles, so you have practical options.
Getting to Dodger Stadium via Union Station:
Union Station is the main transit hub in downtown Los Angeles. From there, you can take the Dodger Stadium Express shuttle on game days, which runs frequently before and after games. This is convenient if you want to avoid driving or parking near the stadium.
Hotels near Metro access to Union Station:
- Omni Los Angeles Hotel at California Plaza: About a 5–10 minute walk to the Pershing Square Metro station, connecting downtown to Union Station.
- DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Los Angeles Downtown: Located within easy walking distance to Metro stations like Pershing Square and Civic Center, which are a short ride to Union Station.
- Hotel Indigo Los Angeles Downtown: Close to the 7th Street/Metro Center station, offering a quick transfer to Union Station.
- The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites: A short walk to Civic Center/Grand Park Metro station and connected to many downtown attractions; convenient for getting to Union Station.
Tips:
- Arrive at Union Station early to allow enough time for the shuttle, especially for popular games.
- Check Dodger Stadium’s website for the exact shuttle schedule, as it can vary depending on the day and opponent.
- If you prefer minimal walking, consider staying in hotels in the Chinatown or Elysian Park area, which are closer to the stadium, though they may be more limited in hotel options.
- Using ride-share services directly to Dodger Stadium is also an option if hotel shuttles are unavailable.
In summary, the easiest approach for most visitors staying in downtown Los Angeles is to choose a hotel within walking distance of a Metro station with service to Union Station and then use the Dodger Stadium Express shuttle to reach the game efficiently.
