Georgia Tech is opening its North Avenue Apartments to World Cup visitors at $237 a night, offering a budget-friendly alternative to soaring downtown hotel rates. Located just 1.3 miles from the stadium with transit access, amenities, and flexible booking options, the move helps meet Atlanta’s massive demand as half a million fans arrive for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

About This Short
Georgia Tech is turning its North Avenue Apartments into World Cup accommodations this summer at $237 a night, and honestly, once you compare it to what downtown Atlanta hotels are charging, it starts making a lot of sense.
We are talking about a private bedroom in an apartment-style unit built for the 1996 Olympics, just 1.3 miles from Mercedes-Benz Stadium, with MARTA access, breakfast, linens, and a fitness center included.
Downtown hotels near the stadium are expected to hit $400 to $500 a night or more during the tournament. Half a million visitors are coming to Atlanta for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the city needs every bed it can get. Tech is renting by the room, so you can book solo or lock down a whole unit with your group.
This is the full breakdown of what you are actually getting, who this makes sense for, and what it means for Midtown Atlanta.
