Best Western Premier Richmond City Gateway

Comfort Meets Convenience Just Outside Downtown Richmond

Modern and welcoming, the Best Western Premier Richmond City Gateway offers a peaceful stay just under 7 miles from the heart of Richmond. With stylish, well-appointed rooms and easy highway access, this hotel is a solid pick for concert-goers looking to recharge before and after the show. A seasonal outdoor pool, free parking, and on-site dining round out a stay that’s both practical and relaxing.

Why Concert-goers love it

Located just minutes from downtown concert venues and the Greater Richmond Convention Center, you’re never far from the action. Despite the easy access to music hotspots, the hotel sits in a quieter area—ideal for decompressing post-show. 24-hour front desk service makes late-night check-ins seamless, and free parking is a major perk for those driving in for a gig.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends who want affordable convenience with space to relax
• Solo travelers chasing bucket-list performances
• Couples planning a weekend getaway with a concert highlight
• Fans needing quiet after a night of loud music
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort and style

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant serves up American-style meals, with à la carte breakfast available—perfect after a long night. While there’s no 24/7 room service, convenient vending machines offer late-night snacks. Plus, downtown Richmond’s food scene is just a short drive away for pre- or post-show bites.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you’re a quick Uber or drive away from Richmond’s buzzing nightlife—bars, lounges, and clubs are all within easy reach. For a low-key night, the hotel bar pours drinks in a relaxed setting.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, spacious rooms and the friendliness of the staff. Many highlight the hotel’s easy access to downtown, the ample free parking, and the comfort of the beds after a night out. Travelers also note the quiet atmosphere as a big plus when returning from a high-energy show.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the location feels slightly remote if you’re relying on public transportation or want to bar-hop on foot. Also, the seasonal pool means it’s not always available, so double-check if you’re hoping for a swim.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a clean, quiet, and convenient base near Richmond’s music scene, the Best Western Premier Richmond City Gateway hits all the right notes.
