How close is R Nite Star to Lincoln Square in Arlington?

Lincoln Square is a shopping center at N Collins St and I-30, north of AT&T Stadium. Our hotel-published distance is 2.4 miles, making it a practical shopping stop during an Arlington stay without requiring you to build the whole trip around that destination.

The difference between our listed distance and a mapping app’s driving distance is worth understanding. We publish Lincoln Square at 2.4 miles; Google Maps showed a fastest driving route of 2.5 miles on November 13, 2026. Use the hotel listing to compare nearby destinations, then check a current route before leaving.

How to read this table: These are Google Maps route estimates from November 13, 2026, rather than promised travel times. The shortest listed route gives you a useful starting point, but check current directions before departure, especially when your shopping stop shares a day with a stadium visit.

For a useful map check:

  1. Set your starting point as R Nite Star Hotel & Lounge at 1175 N Watson Rd.
  2. Select Lincoln Square shopping center at N Collins St and I-30 as your destination.
  3. Compare the current route with your next stop, particularly if you are continuing toward AT&T Stadium.

Check the shopping center’s own directory before choosing a particular destination there. That check is especially useful when your visit depends on finding something specific; proximity alone does not tell you whether a shopping stop will meet your needs.

Why choose our hotel for a Lincoln Square shopping trip?

A nearby hotel should make the rest of your stay easier, too. We’re in Arlington’s Entertainment District, between Dallas and Fort Worth, with free parking at the property and several room layouts for different travel needs. Lincoln Square can be part of your trip while your room also serves as a base for Arlington attractions.

Our hotel is fully renovated and non-smoking. Free Wi-Fi lets you handle trip details from the property, while free breakfast gives you a straightforward start before heading out: continental on weekdays and hot on weekends. Every room has a coffee maker, with refrigerator size depending on the room type.

The practical amenities matter after shopping as well. Guest laundry is available, and there is an ATM on the property. Our seasonal outdoor pool can be part of your stay when available; ask the front desk about its season and hours before making it part of your plans.

R Lounge Bar is our own bar on site. If you want to include time there, ask the front desk about current hours rather than planning around an assumed schedule. Keeping that detail flexible is useful when your return time depends on shopping or another Arlington stop.

For a broader look at the area, our Arlington Entertainment District guide can help you organize the stay around your main reason for visiting. The decision is simple: choose a room that fits your group, then put shopping and attractions around that base.

Ready to compare your dates? Check live rates and book direct, or call our front desk at 817-652-3100. Rates vary by date, demand, citywide events, room type, and availability, so your actual travel dates are the right place to begin.

Which room should you book for your shopping stay?

Start with the people traveling, then consider how you will use the room. A couple planning short outings may prioritize a king bed and a quieter location. A family may need two queen beds, while travelers staying longer may find a kitchenette more useful than upgraded furnishings.

Our Standard King Room has a king bed, sleeps 2, and sits on the quieter back side of the property. That makes it a concrete option when location within the hotel matters to you. Our Standard Two Queen Beds Room sleeps up to 4 and suits travelers who need separate beds.

The Deluxe rooms add updated interiors and wood-style flooring. Choose Deluxe King if you want a king bed with a sitting chair, or Deluxe Two Queen Beds if your group needs the two-bed layout. These are choices based on room finish and layout; they do not include kitchenettes.

Premium King provides a king bed plus a proper sitting area with a sofa and coffee table. Premium Two Queen Beds sleeps 4 and has tufted headboards and our most upgraded furnishings. If you expect to spend time relaxing in the room between outings, compare those details with how your group will actually use the space.

For meal preparation, focus on the Studio Mini Kitchen options. Studio Mini Kitchen King sleeps 2 and includes a sofa and coffee table, a dining table with chairs, a wall-mounted TV, and a ceiling fan. Its separate kitchenette has a sink, two-burner cooktop, microwave, and full-height refrigerator.

Studio Mini Kitchen 2 Queen sleeps 4 and includes the same kitchenette appliances. It also has a dresser, desk and chair, wall-mounted TV, ceiling fan, and a bathroom with a tub and shower. This layout gives a group separate beds along with space for refrigerated food and simple meal preparation.

Only these two Studio Mini Kitchen room types have kitchenettes. All other rooms have a mini-fridge and coffee maker only. If a microwave, cooktop, or full-height refrigerator is essential, select a Studio Mini Kitchen room rather than assuming those features come with a Deluxe or Premium room.

Compare all eight room types before booking, then check availability for your dates. We do not have suites, so use the named room types when discussing your needs with the front desk.

How can you combine Lincoln Square with an Arlington attraction?

Build your day around the activity with the least flexibility, then fit shopping around it. If your main reason for visiting is an attraction or stadium event, decide that part first. Lincoln Square then becomes a planned stop instead of an extra destination squeezed into the day.

For a shopping morning and Six Flags afternoon, start by checking the center’s directory and the attraction’s current visitor information. Decide what you need from the shopping stop before leaving the hotel. We list Six Flags Over Texas at 0.7 miles from our property, so the hotel also provides a nearby base for that part of the visit.

A workable sequence is:

  1. Have breakfast at the hotel and confirm the day’s destination details.
  2. Visit Lincoln Square with a specific shopping purpose.
  3. Return to the hotel if you need to put purchases in your room or change.
  4. Continue with your Six Flags plans after checking its official visitor information.

For a stadium day, Lincoln Square sits on the stadium side of I-30, north of AT&T Stadium. That makes it worth considering as a stop within your broader stadium-area plans. Our hotel lists AT&T Stadium at 2.5 miles, but those separate hotel distances should not be treated as the distance between the stadium and Lincoln Square.

We also list Globe Life Field at 1.7 miles and Texas Live! at 2.1 miles. Choose which destination matters most, then check the route connecting your stops. Our hotel near AT&T Stadium guide can help you consider a stadium-focused stay.

If your visit extends beyond a single outing, use our 48 hours in Arlington guide to shape a broader plan. Leave room to return to the hotel rather than filling every gap with another destination.

How does Lincoln Square compare with other shopping options?

Lincoln Square is the closest shopping destination among the shopping centers and markets in our published distance list. That makes it a reasonable first choice when you want to keep the shopping portion of your Arlington stay close to the hotel. Other destinations may fit a different trip, but each deserves its own planning decision.

How to read this table: Every distance is measured from our hotel, using our published list. These figures compare proximity; they do not describe travel time, current traffic, or the distance between shopping destinations.

Choose by purpose before distance. Check Lincoln Square’s own directory to see whether it meets your shopping needs, and check the official information for any alternative you are considering. A nearby destination is useful only if it fits the errand or outing you have in mind.

Food can be planned separately from shopping. Our published nearby restaurant list includes Boston’s Restaurant & Sports Bar at 0.4 miles, The Rock Wood Fired Pizza and Mercury Chophouse at 0.6 miles, and Saltgrass Steak House at 0.8 miles. These are hotel-listed distances, not claims about restaurants within Lincoln Square.

What should you know about booking, arrival, and getting around?

Check your full stay before choosing a room. A different room type or a multi-night visit may change what is available for your dates. Booking directly can bring special discounts and 10–15% off multi-night stays, but those offers may be non-refundable; confirm the terms when booking.

For an informed comparison:

  1. Enter your actual arrival and departure dates in our direct booking system.
  2. Compare available room types against your sleeping and kitchenette needs.
  3. Review the full booking terms, including whether a selected offer is non-refundable.
  4. Call 817-652-3100 if you need help clarifying the room or arrival details.

Our affordable hotel near AT&T Stadium guide offers another way to think through the stay. When comparing hotels, account for what you will use: free parking, breakfast, and the right room layout all belong in that decision alongside the live room rate.

Our reception hours are Sun–Thu 6:30 AM–2:00 AM, Fri–Sat 6:30 AM–3:00 AM. After-hours check-in instructions are sent by email and text. If your arrival falls outside reception hours, confirm your contact details and ask the front desk about the process before traveling.

For airport planning, DFW International Airport is roughly 15–20 minutes’ drive, while Dallas Love Field is roughly 30 minutes away, traffic dependent. We operate no shuttle and provide no pickup of any kind. Arrange your travel independently and check current conditions before departure.

A short drive does not necessarily make Lincoln Square a convenient walk. Google Maps showed walking at about 58 minutes and cycling at about 18 minutes on November 13, 2026. Consider the current North Texas weather, your purchases, and your return plans; our getting around Arlington without a car guide can support that planning.

Can you combine an event with overnight rooms here?

Yes. Our hotel rooms and R Nite Star Event Center are on the same property, and the event center hosts up to 350 guests. For hosts planning an Arlington gathering, that creates a way to discuss the event and overnight accommodations together. Group room blocks are possible on request; inquire about your dates.

The event center includes a stage with stage lighting, a lighted dance floor, a complete audio/video system, an overhead projector and widescreen, VIP seating sections, two bars, and a backstage dressing room. Tables and chairs are provided, with flexible layouts. Open bar is available.

We offer four packages, each quoted by date, guest count, and package. Venue Only has an approximate 4–6 hour event window and includes open bar availability, tables, and chairs. Venue + Audio/Video has an approximate 4–7 hour window with a power sound system, projector and widescreen, stage lights, and dance floor lights.

Venue + AV, Decoration & DJ includes decoration services, a sound system and DJ, table and chair arrangement, and cleaning. Full Service with Catering includes full venue service, setup time, and catering service. Catering currently requires a minimum of 100 guests, so ask event sales which package fits your gathering.

Contact Rina in event sales at 972-352-0888 or submit the event inquiry form with your date, guest count, and package interest. Submitting the form does not confirm a booking; event sales confirms availability.

For overnight guests, mention the room block request during that conversation. Lincoln Square can be an optional shopping outing during their visit, while the event itself remains the reason to choose the dates and room arrangements.
