Hotels near Wembley Stadium

Wembley Stadium Introduction

You'll probably be able to hear the crowds in Wembley before you see the stadium itself. Host to UEFA Champions League showdowns and Olympic soccer tournaments, high-stakes international games and FA Cup finals, it's hailed – quite aptly – as the Home of Football. A mind-blowing 86,000 people can cram into the terraces of the colossal arena at full whack, a fact that's also turned it into a popular rock and pop venue where world-famous acts have rocked the stages. Wembley Stadium hotels offer the perfect base no matter what it is you've come to see in this corner of northwest London.
