Indianapolis: Conrad Indianapolis

Located a pleasant, 14-minute walk from Lucas Oil Stadium, Conrad Indianapolis is a luxury oasis in the heart of the city. Every room and suite boasts stunning downtown views, along with marble and granite bathrooms and a deep tub, perfect for soaking your feet in after a night of dancing.
“This isn’t just a hotel,” says Fora Advisor Pamela Anderson. “It’s a symphony of elegance and modern vibes.”
The on-site wine bar, Tastings, has one of the largest selections in the world for wines-by-the-taste (more than 200 bottles!), making it the perfect spot to grab a pre- or post-concert drink.

This vibey and upscale boutique hotel in Shibuya — just a 15-minute drive from the Tokyo Dome — makes a great home base for your Taylor-in-Tokyo concert adventures. With just 15 rooms, the intimate size will be a nice place to decompress after spending the night surrounded by every Swiftie in Japan, and according to Fora Advisor Caroline Bernthal, every room is “unique and one-of-a-kind.”

Sydney: Four Seasons Hotel Sydney

Though it’ll be a bit of a commute to the concert (24 minutes by car), there’s no better place to stay in Sydney than at the Four Seasons.
“It’s a great hotel with great service and great views, but the standout is the location!” says Fora Advisor Suzanne Lee.
You’ll be just steps away from The Rocks and Circular Quay, home to many great restaurants, shops and bars, and you'll overlook the Sydney Opera House. Pregame the show with a drink at the waterfront Opera Bar, nicknamed “the best beer garden in the world,” and be sure to try (and photograph) the hotel’s signature dessert, the Frozen Pavlova, described as “almost too beautiful to eat.”

When you book Four Seasons through Fora, you will enjoy exclusive Four Seasons Preferred Partner benefits. Your advisor will be pleased to give you more details.
Singapore: Mandarin Oriental, Singapore

Coming off of a $100 million renovation, Mandarin Oriental is one of the top luxury hotels in Singapore. It’s just a 10-minute drive to the concert (but Singapore also has an excellent metro system). A favorite of Fora Advisor Nadia Bess, the hotel blends contemporary elegance with timeless Asian aesthetics, plus breathtaking views of the city skyline and the stunning Marina Bay.
“As part of the amenities Fora will add to your booking, you will get to choose from three different local experiences,” says Nadia. “Choose the sidecar tour of Singapore, which finishes on the F1 racetrack!”

Paris: Hôtel des Grands Boulevards

With 50 rooms and an affordable price point, Hôtel des Grands Boulevards is delightfully tucked away in a lush, green courtyard in the 2nd Arrondissement.
In the words of Fora Advisor Reggie Hanson, “You won't need a Getaway Car, as the boulevard is peppered with incredible crêperies and cafés. Plus, the hotel is easily walkable to many major sights like the Louvre, Jardin de Palais Royal, Galerie Vivienne and Opera House.”
Don’t miss the opulent cocktail bars — “the best places to drink away your Champagne Problems,” adds Reggie — and we agree.

Stockholm: Lydmar Hotel

Funky, eclectic and authentically Stockholm, Lydmar Hotel is a fantastic and well-located option for Taylor fans.
“The concert is at the Friends Arena, which is outside of the city center, so you can take Stockholms' excellent public transportation to get there and back,” says Fora Advisor Nadia Bess.
With 46 individually decorated rooms, the hotel is all about creating an intimate and cozy atmosphere, while the hotel's curated collection of contemporary art and design elements adds an artistic flare. The Dining Room, the on-site restaurant, offers a culinary journey of Nordic and international flavors, and the hotel's terrace provides a stunning view of the Royal Palace and Gamla Stan.

“This stunning hotel in the heart of Madrid will never go out of style,” says Fora Advisor Suzanne Lee.
With beautifully decorated and individually designed rooms and suites, the hotel is known for its A+ service and gets bonus points for being only 1.5 miles from Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. When not relaxing on the spa terrace, don’t miss a meal at Amós Restaurant by Chef Jesús Sánchez, a true gastronomic experience celebrating Madrid’s local bounty.

Edinburgh: Kimpton Charlotte Square Hotel

“Besides the cozy chic interior and the helpful staff, what I love most about the Kimpton Charlotte Square Hotel is the location,” says Fora Advisor Bailey Lammon. “You can easily take the tram or the Airlink right to it from the airport. For the Taylor Swift Concert, it’s a straight shot to the Murrayfield Stadium by foot or by tram, without having to navigate through all the tourists.”
Beyond its location, we love this collection of Georgian townhouses that date back to the late 18th century, with its thoughtfully designed suites and views of the beautiful Charlotte Square Garden.

London: St. James’s Hotel and Club Mayfair

This hotel is all about classic luxury. Occupying a beautifully restored townhouse, St. James's offers sumptuous furnishings, 10/10 dining and exquisite attention to detail. The intimate bar is a perfect spot for pre-dinner cocktails or nightcaps, offering a range of signature drinks in an elegant setting. Plus, Swifties can opt for a meal at the Michelin-Starred Seven Park Place restaurant, masterminded by the renowned chef William Drabble.
Fora Advisor Nancy Chinchar added, “It’s on the Jubilee line, so [concert-goers] have a direct route to the stadium and won't have to deal with any treacherous London traffic!” Love that for them.

Dublin: InterContinental Dublin

“Dublin is a super walkable city, and the Intercontinental Dublin is a quick 15-minute walk to Aviva Stadium but far enough away for it to still feel like a retreat, with suite balconies that overlook a private courtyard,” says Fora Advisor Anna Porter.
We love this hotel for its state-of-the-art fitness center, spa and indoor swimming pool. (See more of the best hotel swimming pools.) Another plus: you'll enjoy panoramic views of the city or the hotel's lush gardens.

Zürich: 25hours Hotel Zürich West

This funky, fun hotel is near some great food and drink options.
“The perfect vibe for the traveling concert goer!” says Fora Advisor Liz Schmittgens.
Also, 25hours Hotel Zürich West is a convenient 15-minute walk to the stadium. With 126 uniquely decorated rooms, each featuring quirky and imaginative furnishings, the hotel's pièce de résistance is its rooftop bar, complete with panoramic views of the Swiss Alps. Highly recommended is the NENI restaurant, which offers a fusion of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavors.
Fora Perks:

Toronto: The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto

“Long Story Short, you'll love all the Ritz has to offer,” says Fora Advisor Samantha Lamb.
If you’re looking for traditional (but not boring) luxury in the center of the city, The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto is your best bet.
“After belting out Bad Blood and Cruel Summer, and dancing the night away, you may want a quick walk back to your hotel, and the Ritz provides a prime location for that,” Samantha added.
Other reasons to stay here: the impressive spa and TOCA Trattoria, featuring Canada’s local bounty.

Lisbon: Hyatt Regency Lisbon

A stylish and contemporary gem, the Hyatt Recency is a tranquil haven for concert-goers.
“My clients love the the Hyatt Regency Lisbon,” says Fora Advisor Nancy McLaughlin.
It's a modern hotel located in the Belém district of Lisbon on the Targus River, close to museums, historical monuments and two UNESCO World Heritage Sites. We love its impressive wellness facilities, including a fitness center and spa with an indoor pool, and range of dining options. Don’t miss the rooftop restaurant offering panoramic views of the city, and VISEVERSA restaurant, which features the best local ingredients.

Melbourne: Adelphi Hotel

Voted the best boutique hotel in the state of Victoria, the Adelphi is luxurious, quirky and cool. Walking distance from the Melbourne Cricket Grounds, the hotel has the same buzzy, poppy energy that you’ll experience at Eras, so the fun can start early and continue long after Taylor’s finale. Visiting the cocktail bar, Om Nom, for high tea or a signature drink is a must. Don’t forget, too, that February is summer downunder, meaning that the chic, Miami-inspired glass-bottom rooftop pool will be open and calling your name.
“The whole hotel is a vibe,” says Fora Advisor Caroline Bernthal. “It is the perfect pairing for a Taylor Swift concert!”
