Where to Stay for Goldrush: Best Hotel Areas If You’re Traveling In-State
Planning where to stay for Goldrush can be just as important as planning your festival fits. When it comes to choosing a hotel, you want to keep three main factors in mind: distance from the venue, amenities, and budget. With plenty of options within a close range, this guide will help you find the best spot for your needs this September.
Naturally, the first and most elevated option is the Gila River Hotels & Casinos – Wild Horse Pass. This is right next to the venue and offers can’t-miss pre-parties at their pool, amazing amenities, and, of course, a massive casino. If you’re feeling lavish and want to make the absolute most of your Goldrush experience, this is the one for you. Rawhide is known for heavy traffic after the festival ends, so being able to walk back to your room is a serious game-changer. That convenience alone makes it worth the splurge for many.
If you’re looking for more budget-friendly options, there are still plenty of solid choices close to the action. Looking for something thats still lavish but more relaxed? The Sheraton Grand at Wild Horse Pass maintains the luxury while still being less than a mile away from the venue starting around ($281/night). Another great option, The Homewood Suites by Hilton Phoenix/Chandler which starts around ($131/night) and sits about 2.5 miles away.
For an even more affordable stay, the La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Phoenix Chandler comes in at ($88/night), and the Metro Chandler Extended Stay starts as low as ($68/night). All are within a short drive of the festival grounds.
If none of these catch your eye, luckily Relentless Beats and Crewfare have got you covered. They’ve hand-picked a variety of hotels that clearly list rates and distances from the venue. Even the opportunity to bundle and save. Check out the festival travel page to find the perfect home-base for your Goldrush weekend.
Don’t miss Goldrush: Midnight Riders, taking place at Rawhide Event Center on September 11-12th.
