Airlie

Charming Country Retreat Just Outside the City Buzz

Modern comfort meets countryside calm at Airlie, a relaxed and scenic hotel nestled in Warrenton, Virginia. Surrounded by gardens and nature trails, this 3-star escape offers a restful vibe with modern perks like a fitness center, free WiFi, and a seasonal outdoor pool. Located less than an hour from Washington D.C., it’s a great base for concert-goers looking to enjoy the show without the city chaos.

Why Concert-goers love it

Airlie is a quiet, refreshing option for music fans who want a break from the noise after a night out. While it’s about 27 miles from major venues like the Dulles Expo Center, the peaceful location makes it ideal for recovery after high-energy performances. With a 24-hour front desk and easy road access, late check-ins after a show are a breeze. Plus, there’s free parking and it’s a short drive from key highways — a major win for road-tripping fans.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends who want to relax and explore between shows
• Solo travelers checking off bucket-list performances
• Couples combining concert nights with countryside charm
• Fans seeking a quieter, nature-filled recovery spot
• Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant serves up comforting American fare, with buffet, continental, and traditional breakfasts available — perfect for post-show sleep-ins. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the hotel bar offers drinks and casual bites, and Warrenton’s local eateries are just a short drive away. It’s ideal for a low-key nightcap or morning-after brunch.

Nightlife Options

If you’re not done after the encore, you’ll find a cozy on-site bar perfect for a wind-down drink. While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, Warrenton’s historic downtown has a few spots to keep the vibe going, and you’re within driving distance of Northern Virginia’s live music and nightlife scene.

What People Say

Guests love the peaceful atmosphere, beautiful grounds, and friendly staff. Many appreciate the rustic charm combined with modern touches, and mention the relaxing vibe — especially after a busy night out. The free bikes and outdoor spaces also get rave reviews for daytime exploring before the show.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t the place for hardcore nightlife — things wind down early here. It’s also a bit of a drive to major venues, so a car is a must. Some rooms could use minor updates, but most guests feel the charm more than makes up for it.

The Bottom Line

If you’re heading to a concert and want a peaceful, comfortable spot to recharge — away from the hustle, but close enough to catch the show — Airlie hits the right note.
