Bangor Aviator Hotel Best Western Premier Collection

Concert Convenience Just Steps from the Runway

Modern and comfortable with a touch of aviation flair, the Bangor Aviator Hotel Best Western Premier Collection is directly connected to Bangor International Airport—ideal for out-of-town concert-goers flying in for a show. Just 3 miles from central Bangor and the city's top venues, this hotel offers clean, cozy rooms in calming tones, with bright blue accents and all the essentials: free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, coffee makers, and workspaces.
Whether you're catching a legendary act at the Bangor Waterfront or trying your luck at Hollywood Slots Casino, you're never far from the action—or from a peaceful night’s sleep afterward.

Why Concert-goers love it

Being just a short drive (around 10 minutes) from venues like the Bangor Waterfront and the Hollywood Casino makes this hotel a smart pick for music lovers. The 24-hour front desk is perfect for late-night arrivals after encore-filled evenings, and the hotel’s location means you can avoid downtown traffic. Despite being airport-adjacent, guests find the rooms quiet and restful, making it easy to recharge after a big night out. Plus, with check-out at 12:00 pm, there’s no need to rush the next morning.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a reliable base close to Bangor’s music scene
• Solo travelers flying in to see a bucket-list performance
• Couples making a weekend of it with entertainment and nearby shopping
• Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
• Budget-conscious music fans who want comfort without overspending

Food and Drink Options

Tailwinds Grille, the hotel’s on-site restaurant, serves up hearty American fare with a focus on fresh Maine seafood—perfect for a pre-show dinner or a post-concert bite. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the restaurant offers breakfast and dinner hours to suit most schedules. For late-night cravings, nearby eateries in downtown Bangor are just a short drive away.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself isn’t a nightlife hotspot, it’s close to Bangor’s lively downtown, where you’ll find local bars, craft breweries, and lounges. Whether you’re after live music, late-night cocktails, or a low-key pint, it’s all within easy reach by car or rideshare. The hotel bar is a relaxed option for winding down with a drink before bed.

Areas for Improvement
