Hotel room rates across the United States are falling sharply ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, as anti-American sentiment fuelled by Trump's war in Iran and sweeping travel bans deter the international visitors that host cities were counting on.
Game-day room prices in key host cities have dropped by roughly one-third from their peak earlier this year, according to data from Lighthouse Intelligence cited by the Financial Times, with cities including Dallas, Miami, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Atlanta all registering the decline.
