Taylor Swift has officially taken over the world. Her Eras Tour was the first tour to gross over $1 billion (!). If you haven’t been able to snag a coveted concert ticket to her global tour de force, not to worry: there are still tickets — and hotel rooms — available in upcoming concert destinations.
I’ve selected five such destinations, and recommended two hotels in each. As of publishing, all of the properties still have availability. The first has rooms below $500 a night, while the other is a splurge-worthy stay if you’re looking to go all out (it’s a special occasion, after all).
Read on to learn where to stay, and then jump on those tickets ASAP. I’ll handle everything else, so you can focus on what’s most important: seeing Taylor.
July 13–14: Milan, Italy at the San Siro Stadium
Starhotels E.c.ho.

“E.c.ho.” is short for “ecological contemporary hotel,” a designation this Green Globe-certified stay takes seriously. Toiletries are made from recycled products, the restaurant serves organic fare with a slow-food ethos, energy use and waste disposal have been dialed in and the hotel actively supports its local community, especially through social activities and building a healthy urban environment. Design-wise, expect natural forms, soothing colors and lots of plants.
Fora Perks:
A welcome drink, breakfast daily, an upgrade whenever possible & late check-out.
Armani Hotel Milano

Roomers Munich

This design hotel is eclectic, bold and playful. The design is contemporary and youthful — lots of gold, color and cheeky surprises that somehow work. A pink statue of a giraffe or a canine objet d’art perched on the counter don’t feel out of place here. The sexy, dimly lit spa — complete with a cinema showing classic films — is the perfect place to unwind after a late night spent singing along to Taylor.

Rosewood Munich

This stately, centrally located stay — a stone’s throw from the city’s Marienplatz Square — exudes European elegance with a warm, inviting flair. It’s housed in two buildings, one a former bank, the other an aristocratic residence. A timeless sophistication masterfully blends with modern sensibility. Limestone sculptures, marble and ornate detailing mingle with vibrant local art and the strategic pop of color.

Trust the hotel’s local recommendations, from restaurants and shops to yoga studios and rock-climbing gyms — all of which are curated with your wellbeing in mind. Plus, it's less than a 15-minute drive from the concert venue. After seeing Taylor, retreat to your comfortable room, equipped with Westin's signature Heavenly Beds and sweeping city views.

Each of the 47 rooms in this artistic gem, housed in a 19th-century tenement, is unique. But all are vibrantly decorated, with funky, fun touches like cheetah-print wallpaper, bold stripes and aesthetically loud (in the best way) artwork. Don’t miss a meal of elevated Polish cuisine at the pink-hued on-site restaurant, whose walls are lined with original photographs by Milton Green.

The hotel is dark and sexy, a socially and eco-conscious spot that champions the expertise of local artists and designers. (Almanac even collaborates with local experts when designing their hotels’ signature scents.) Consider an organic pre-concert facial and sauna session to get a good glow before venturing out.

Ham Yard Hotel, in the heart of Soho, is the epitome of modern British sophistication.

This charming and serene boutique hotel sits just off Hyde Park. Japanese minimalism merges with British sensibilities, and the exceptional hospitality exhibited in both cultures is front and center. The design is thoughtful and soft, with neutral hues and a pared back, but nonetheless warm, aesthetic. Before the concert, savor a masterful Japanese-inflected meal at TOKii. You’ll love the trendy, stylish atmosphere and unfussy vibe.
