Location & Shuttle

0.3 miles. We are the closest full-service luxury hotel to the stadium.

Three options. (1) Coach shuttle — departures every 30 minutes starting 5 hours before kickoff (a full coach leaves as soon as it fills), round-trip from World of Blue to the American Dream entrance, then a covered pedestrian walkway into MetLife (and back after the match — ours is expected to be the only coach bus allowed into MetLife, so it is easy to spot). (2) VIP shuttle (VAAP) — a luxury van with a Vehicle Access Permit drops you directly inside the MetLife security perimeter; departures 5 and 3 hours before kickoff. $450 per seat, capped at 4 per online order. (3) DIY — Uber or Lyft to American Dream and use the same walkway path. Surge pricing applies on game days.

The American Dream shuttle is complimentary for hotel guests. On MetLife game days (Giants, Jets, concerts, shows) we run shuttles into the stadium for a nominal per-seat fee, priced simply to offset our costs; final pricing is being set now. FIFA World Cup 2026 match days have their own tiered shuttle pricing, covered in the FIFA section below. Hotel guests can also park on-site at $28/night.

The coach shuttle drops at the American Dream entrance (covered 5-minute walkway into MetLife) and runs every 30 minutes starting 5 hours before kickoff. The VIP shuttle is a luxury van credentialed with a Vehicle Access Permit that drops you directly inside the MetLife security perimeter — far fewer steps, no perimeter queue — with departures 5 and 3 hours before kickoff (1:00 PM and 3:00 PM for the June 13 opener). $450 per seat, capped at 4 seats per online order. Call concierge for groups larger than 4.

Parking

Yes. The lot is open 24/7, fully secured, lit, surveilled, and offers EV charging.

For hotel guests: $28/night. FIFA World Cup 2026 match days have separate per-match pricing — see the FIFA section below.

Match-day parking is reserved for World of Blue hotel guests. Every room booked through this site already includes one match-day pass. If you booked elsewhere (Priceline, Booking.com, etc.) or need extra vehicles, add a per-match pass at /parking/book and confirm your stay. FIFA World Cup pricing: $250 group stage · $300 Round of 32 · $350 Round of 16 · $450 Final. QR-coded pass emailed instantly. Single-use, non-transferable, scanned at the manned entrance on match day.

No. Each pass is non-transferable, single-use, valid only for its specific match date, and tied to the buyer named on the pass. Resale or sharing voids the pass.

FIFA World Cup 2026

Yes. At 0.3 miles, we are the closest full-service luxury hotel to the host venue.

Yes. Minimum-stay requirements apply during all FIFA match windows. A reservations specialist will confirm specifics when you inquire.

No — match-day parking is not bundled free. Every vehicle entering the property on a match day requires a paid, scanned parking pass; there are no exceptions for hotel guests. World of Blue rooms booked through this site bundle ONE match-day parking pass per reservation. Need additional vehicles? Add more passes at the per-match rate — and book early, passes are capped per match and sell out.

Parking is not bundled free — every vehicle entering on a match day needs a paid, scanned QR pass. Per-match rates: $250 group stage · $300 Round of 32 · $350 Round of 16 · $450 Final. Hotel guests add a match-day parking pass (rooms booked here include one). Not staying with us? New Jersey stadium rules (NJSEA) don't allow off-site parking to be sold on its own, so non-guests buy a Hospitality Pass instead — food and a beer at our Low Tide Bar & Grille plus a shuttle to the stadium, with parking included. Either way, book early at /parking/book — supply is capped per match.

Yes, through a Hospitality Pass. New Jersey stadium rules (NJSEA) don't allow off-site parking to be sold on its own, but we're licensed to provide hospitality. So non-guests buy a Hospitality Pass at /parking/book: food and a beer at our Low Tide Bar & Grille (pick your beer), plus a round-trip shuttle to the stadium — you tell us how many people are riding. Parking on our property comes included with the hospitality. Same per-match pricing as parking: $250 group stage up to $450 for the Final. You get a QR pass scanned at our manned gate.

Yes. Match-day access is credentialed for every vehicle that enters the property — NJ State Police is on-site, manned gates, plate verification. Your room confirmation email includes a QR parking pass + a dashboard placard (with your license plate) so you can scan in once and re-enter throughout the day on plate match.

For FIFA World Cup 2026 matches the shuttle is priced per seat. Direct-book hotel guests: 2 standard seats included with the room, $100/seat for extras. Hotel guests booked via Priceline/Booking.com/etc.: $75/seat. Non-hotel guests: $150/seat. VIP shuttle (VAAP into MetLife): $450/seat for everyone, never bundled. On regular MetLife game days (NFL, concerts) we also run shuttles at a nominal fee; that pricing is being finalized.

No. Each pass is non-transferable, single-vehicle, and tied to the license plate you provided. Sharing voids the pass and forfeits entry without refund.

Full refund for that match's parking pass. For a room reservation tied to a cancelled match, your reservations specialist will reschedule or refund.

You can verify yourself as a World of Blue guest using the "Booked elsewhere?" form on the FIFA page. We'll match you to direct-guest perks (parking discount, shuttle eligibility) within one business day after verification.

For the duration of the tournament, World of Blue will be the host of the largest exterior advertising wrap in the area — a global brand placement that puts the property at the center of the World Cup conversation. The wrap is PERFORATED vinyl, so guests still have outward views from inside their rooms; you can see out. The trade-off is dimmer natural light through the windows during daylight hours. If this isn't what you signed up for, we'll cancel your reservation at any time before check-in — no questions asked, full refund.

Yes. Live match watch parties are hosted on-property throughout the tournament.
