Location & Shuttle
0.3 miles. We are the closest full-service luxury hotel to the stadium.
Three options. (1) Standard shuttle — round-trip from World of Blue to the American Dream entrance, then a covered pedestrian walkway into MetLife (and back to American Dream after the match). (2) VIP shuttle (VAP) — a luxury vehicle with a Vehicle Access Permit drops you directly inside the MetLife security perimeter. $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.
For general events (NFL games, concerts, shows) — yes, the round-trip shuttle to MetLife is complimentary for all hotel guests. Park your car on-site ($28/night) and we handle the rest. For FIFA World Cup 2026 match days, shuttle pricing is tiered — see the FIFA section below for details.
The standard shuttle drops at the American Dream entrance (covered 5-minute walkway into MetLife). The VIP shuttle is credentialed with a Vehicle Access Permit and drops you directly inside the MetLife security perimeter — far fewer steps, no perimeter queue. $450 per seat, capped at 4 seats per online order. Call concierge for groups larger than 4.

Buy a per-match parking pass at /parking/book. 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 — parking must be paid BY everyone. 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? Buy more passes at the per-match rate — and book early, passes are capped per match and sell out.
No. Parking is paid BY everyone — hotel guest or not — and every vehicle entering on a match day needs a scanned QR parking pass. Per-match rates: $250 group stage · $300 Round of 32 · $350 Round of 16 · $450 Final. Hotel rooms booked here include one parking pass for the match date selected; everyone else (and additional vehicles) buys directly at /parking/book. We strongly advise booking parking early — supply is capped per match.
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.
FIFA shuttle pricing is separate from the general event shuttle. 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. Note: for non-FIFA events (Giants, Jets, concerts), the shuttle is complimentary for all hotel guests.
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.
