Inglewood Essentials: SoFi Area Hotels, Safety, Late-Night Bites

SoFi Stadium anchors LA28’s biggest ceremonies and game days. Whether you’re staying on campus or in the surrounding neighborhoods, use this guide to plan smart moves, good eats, and safe nights.

Quick snapshot#

• Hollywood Park is walkable but has layered security—allow time for checkpoints.
• Metro K Line + shuttles are the fastest way to beat rideshare surge pricing (see our car-free guide).
• Late-night food options cluster along Market Street, Manchester Boulevard, and Century Boulevard.
• Respect local guidelines: quiet hours after 10 p.m. in residential zones, no open alcohol outside permitted fan areas.

Where to stay#

• On-campus: Hyatt House/Hyatt Place, Hollywood Park Residences, Moxy + AC Hotel (opening before LA28). Expect $320–$450 per night.
• Nearby hotels: Residence Inn LAX/Century Boulevard, H Hotel/Homewood Suites (free shuttles to K Line).
• Boutique/B&B: Villa Brasil Motel (artsy), Sonder Lum (apartment-style stays).
• Split-stay idea: Spend a few nights here for ceremony events, then shift to our Pasadena Rose Bowl base or coastal stays.

Safety moves#

• Stick to well-lit routes post-event. LAPD, Inglewood PD, and SoFi security flood the area with lighting towers—follow the crowds.
• Lean on official rideshare lots (Prairie & Victory) or take the shuttle to Aviation/Century for additional transport options.
• For medical needs, Centinela Hospital and Exer Urgent Care (Century Blvd) provide Olympic-ready support.
• Respect community spaces—avoid blocking driveways when ordering rideshares or waiting for friends.

Where to eat late#

• Randy’s Donuts: Open 24/7 with LA28-themed treats.
• Three Weavers Brewing: Craft beer, food trucks, and medal watch parties.
• Dulan’s Soul Food: Comfort plates big enough to share.
• Stuff I Eat: Vegan soul food open late on event nights.
• Hangry Joe’s & Juicy Wingz: Quick-service options along Centinela for post-game snacks.

FAQs#

Q: How late do the K Line trains run?
A: Service extends until roughly 1:30 a.m. on LA28 event nights. Shuttles run continuously until the final train departs.

Q: Can I walk from Inglewood hotels to SoFi?
A: Yes—many hotels are within a 15-minute walk. Follow official pedestrian routes around Hollywood Park and arrive early to clear security.
