Visiting UTA? Where to Stay Near the University of Texas at Arlington

Visiting the University of Texas at Arlington? Stay Close to Campus at The Thornton Inn

Whether you're coming to Arlington for a campus tour, graduation, orientation, a sporting event, a conference, or simply to visit your favorite Maverick, choosing where to stay can make a big difference in your trip.

The Thornton Inn offers something a little different from the typical chain hotel near UTA.

Located just two blocks from the University of Texas at Arlington and close to Downtown Arlington, The Thornton Inn is a historic boutique hotel that puts you close to campus while giving you a quieter, more personal place to come home to at the end of the day.

A Boutique Hotel Near UTA

The Thornton Inn features five individually appointed guest rooms, each with its own private bathroom.

For guests who need more space, we also offer private apartment accommodations, making The Thornton a great option for parents, families, extended stays, and groups visiting UTA together.

Instead of driving back and forth across Arlington every time you need to be on campus, staying near UTA means you're right in the middle of the part of town you came to visit.

More Than Just UTA

One of our favorite things about our location is that UTA isn't the only thing nearby.

Downtown Arlington is home to locally owned restaurants, coffee shops, entertainment, and some of our favorite places in the city. Guests can explore the neighborhood, discover local businesses, and experience a side of Arlington that's very different from the large hotels and attractions surrounding the Entertainment District.

And when you do want to head to an event, Arlington's major attractions, including AT&T Stadium and the Entertainment District, are just a short drive away.

Coming to Arlington for UTA Graduation?

Graduation weekends, move-in, orientation, Family Weekend, and other major university events can bring a lot of visitors to Arlington at the same time.

If you already know your UTA travel dates, we recommend making your lodging reservation early.

Families or groups traveling together can also contact us about booking multiple rooms, one of our apartments, or accommodations for a larger group.
