Staying near 3Arena puts you right on Dublin's docklands, with the closest hotel just 0.13 kilometres from the doors. Of the 24 hotels we list within five kilometres, four are an easy walk on the night, mostly clustered in the International Financial Services Centre/The O2 area, where three of its five hotels are walkable. Trinity College, a short ride away, offers the widest spread of options, eleven hotels from three to five stars, though only one sits close enough to walk. Ballsbridge suits travellers who do not mind a short ride and like a quieter base away from the crowds. St Stephen's Green and O'Connell Street each have a single four-star hotel, good for those who want a central Dublin stay with 3Arena as just one part of the trip. On event nights, rooms near the arena get booked out early, so if walking distance matters to you, don't leave it late.
When to book
Book your room as soon as your event date is confirmed. Only four of the 24 hotels near 3Arena are walkable, and they sit in the International Financial Services Centre/The O2 area. If being close matters, secure one of those early, otherwise Trinity College's eleven hotels give you more choice at a short ride away.

Map: 3Arena and the listed hotels
Getting to 3Arena
Luas Red Line to The Point
3Arena is reached via the Luas Red Line, with The Point stop located just beside the venue, and travelling from central stops such as Abbey Street or Jervis typically takes fifteen to twenty minutes.

Extra trams and post-event queues
Operators schedule extra trams to The Point on show nights, yet long queues still form at the stop once a performance ends, with staff filling trams one by one until the crowd clears.

Connect from Connolly Station
Rail and DART passengers generally arrive at Connolly Station and continue to the venue by taking the Luas Red Line, boarding near Busaras, towards The Point stop.
Dublin Bus routes and nearest stop
Several Dublin Bus routes including 151, G1, G2 and N4 serve 3Arena, with the Castleforbes Road stop only about a two minute walk from the venue entrance.
Direct airport bus to the arena
Dublin Express route 784 is the only direct airport to arena bus service, running from Dublin Airport terminals straight to a stop outside 3Arena at Point Village.

Point Square is the main car park
3Arena has no dedicated on-site car park, so the adjacent Point Square multi storey car park acts as the official nearby parking option, alongside other Docklands facilities such as Q-Park IFSC.
Short walk to and from the city centre
The venue sits in the Docklands roughly twenty minutes on foot from the O'Connell Bridge area, and many attendees choose to walk back into town after a show rather than wait for transport.
Limited pick up right at the venue
Space for taxis and rideshare cars to stop directly outside 3Arena is limited after events, so visitors are often advised to walk a short distance toward the city or to a quieter nearby street such as Sheriff Street before requesting a pick up.
