Shoulder-night rates inside the WC window (Jun 1 – Jul 20): 75% of the match-night rate on Fri/Sat/Sun, 55% on weekdays. Computed automatically at checkout.

Every vehicle entering World of Blue on a match day passes a credentialed checkpoint. QR code from email, Apple Wallet, or Google Wallet — all three work. Nothing enters without one (or an on-site purchase at a staffed entry).

We're hosting the
largest advertisement in the area.
For the duration of the tournament, World of Blue's exterior will be wrapped in a global brand placement — putting the property at the center of the World Cup conversation. You'll see it from MetLife.
The wrap is perforated vinyl — you can still see out from inside your room. The trade-off: dimmer natural light through the windows during the day. Otherwise the room experience is unchanged.
If diminished daytime window light isn't what you signed up for, we'll cancel any reservation at any time before check-in, no questions asked, full refund. Call (201) 896-0500 or email bookings@theworldofblue.com.

The closest hotel — by a margin.
0.3 miles from the MetLife Stadium gates — the closest full-service luxury hotel. We run a stadium shuttle directly to the gates.
Standard shuttle — runs from World of Blue to the walkway from American Dream, a covered pedestrian path that crosses Route 3 directly into MetLife. (We are not walkable to the stadium — the shuttle is the way.) Three tiers: direct-book hotel guests get two seats free (extras at $100). Hotel guests booked elsewhere (Priceline, Booking.com, etc.) pay $75/seat. Non-hotel guests pay $150/seat.
VIP shuttle (VAP) — luxury vehicle with a Vehicle Access Permit drops you directly inside the MetLife security perimeter. $450 per seat, very limited availability (max 4 per online order); larger groups contact concierge.
DIY — Uber or Lyft to American Dream and use the same walkway. Pick up back from American Dream after the match. Surge pricing applies on game days.
Hotel guests add a match-day parking pass — every WoB room reservation includes one (it's not bundled free; every vehicle entering on a match day needs its own paid, scanned QR pass), and you can add more vehicles. 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 — food and a beer at our Low Tide Bar & Grille plus a shuttle to the stadium, with parking included. Either way, per-match: $250 group stage · $300 Round of 32 · $350 Round of 16 · $450 Final. The QR pass arrives by email (printable PDF + Apple Wallet + Google Wallet), single-use, scanned at our manned gate. Book early — supply is capped per match and group-stage dates sell out first.
Parking & hospitality →The World Cup brings dignitaries, heads of state, and high-profile guests through this gateway. Match days: manned entrances, NJ State Police on-site, credentialed scan-in, plate verification. No vehicle enters without a valid scanned pass or paid on-site purchase at a staffed entry.
Match windows have minimum-night requirements. Your reservations specialist will confirm available windows when you book — no public match calendar or pricing is published here, by design.
This is the busiest period in the property's history. No early check-ins. No late check-outs. Standard hours during match windows: check-in 4:00 PM, check-out 11:00 AM, no exceptions. Please book your dates around your match kickoff times — leave a buffer day on either side if you need flexibility around the stadium schedule. Your reservations specialist will help confirm which match days fall within your stay so you can plan accordingly.
427 newly-rebuilt rooms across 21 floors. 24/7 concierge. 24/7 armed security. Low Tide Bar & Grille, The Cove speakeasy bar, a café, indoor pool, fitness center. Custom watch parties on non-game nights. Full property buyouts and hospitality suites available on request.
Book your World Cup stay.
Direct-book guests get the lowest rate and the complimentary stadium shuttle, and can add parking at check-in. Hotel guests add a match-day parking pass to their stay; if you're not staying with us, buy a Hospitality Pass instead — food, beer, and a shuttle, with parking included. Reserve your room in one step through our booking portal, or call our reservations team.
During FIFA match windows, check-in is firm at 4:00 PM and check-out is firm at 11:00 AM — no early check-ins, no late check-outs. Pick your dates around your match times. If you need a buffer, book the night before or after.
