The Arena Hotel Guide: Your Complete Guide to Staying Right Next Door
If you’re attending an event at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park — whether it’s ABBA Voyage at the ABBA Arena, a concert or match at London Stadium, or any of the park’s year-round events - your choice of accommodation will shape the entire experience.
Most people don’t realise there’s a hotel inside the park itself. There is. It’s Snoozebox. And this is your complete guide to making the most of it.
The ABBA Arena
The ABBA Arena at Pudding Mill Lane is the purpose-built home of ABBA Voyage - one of the most technically extraordinary and consistently sold-out entertainment experiences London has ever hosted. The show runs seven nights a week, is 100 minutes long with no interval, and features 20 of ABBA’s greatest hits performed by lifelike digital avatars with a world-class live band.
The arena is accessible from Stratford Station via one stop on the DLR to Pudding Mill Lane, or a 15–20 minute walk through Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park — a walk that Snoozebox guests make in reverse at the end of the night, back to their room.
London Stadium
London Stadium is one of the UK’s largest and most iconic venues, with a capacity of over 60,000. Home to Premier League football throughout the season, the stadium also hosts some of the world’s biggest concert tours and international sporting events across spring and summer.
From Snoozebox, the stadium is a 10-minute walk through the park — a genuinely pleasant route that becomes the most enjoyable commute home after 60,000 people have just watched the same show as you.
Other Events at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
QEOP hosts a wide and growing calendar of events beyond the two headline venues:
Running events, triathlons, and cycling races using the park’s world-class sports infrastructure
Outdoor festivals and cultural events across spring, summer, and autumn
Community events, markets, and family programming throughout the year
Exhibitions and performances at East Bank cultural venues
Corporate events, product launches, and brand activations across the site
Why Snoozebox Is the Only Logical Choice
Every other hotel option for events at QEOP requires you to travel back to your accommodation after the event. That means joining the post-show queue at Stratford Station, waiting for a taxi, or navigating a night bus — none of which is the ending any great evening deserves.
Snoozebox guests walk back through the park. It takes five to ten minutes. The crowd noise fades behind you, the park lighting guides you home, and by the time everyone else is still queuing, you’re already in your room.

Planning Your Event Stay: A Checklist
Book your event tickets and your Snoozebox room at the same time — both sell out
Check event doors-open times and plan your pre-show evening around them
Allow an hour before the show for security and ticket checks at the ABBA Arena
Dinner at Westfield Stratford City (5 minutes on foot) is the easiest pre-show option
If driving, arrive before the event — post-event traffic in the Stratford area builds quickly
Late check-in? Let the Snoozebox team know in advance — it’s handled regularly
💡 Group attending an event together? Book multiple rooms at Snoozebox and turn the event into a proper group stay — terrace drinks after the show, relaxed checkout the next morning.
