Hotels for Classic Tour at Yankee Stadium

This is a guided walk-through of Yankee Stadium's history, clubhouse, and press areas rather than a live game, so plan your visit around the tour schedule rather than gates opening for a crowd. Because it's a daytime, fixed-time event, where you sleep matters mostly for how easy the trip in and back out will be, especially if you're combining it with other Bronx or Manhattan sightseeing. Pick a base by hotel choice and comfort with transit, not by shaving off a kilometer or two.

The home of the New York Yankees, Yankee Stadium is one of the most storied venues in American sport, hosting baseball, occasional football and stadium concerts in the South Bronx. The surrounding area is busy and local, with Manhattan a short subway ride to the south. The 4, B and D subway lines stop right by the ballpark at 161st Street. Staying in Manhattan keeps the city's dining and nightlife close while leaving a quick, direct subway journey up to the game or show.
