The Spotlight on Candlewood Suites Richmond Airport Hotel By IHG

Comfort Meets Convenience Near Richmond’s Music Scene

Modern, unfussy, and reliably comfortable, Candlewood Suites Richmond Airport Hotel By IHG is a practical option for music fans heading to concerts in Richmond. Just 1.2 miles from Richmond International Airport and around 15 minutes from downtown venues, this all-suite hotel in Sandston offers a quiet retreat with perks like in-room kitchenettes, free parking, and 24/7 guest services.

Why Concert-goers love it

With downtown Richmond’s concert venues only a short drive away, this hotel makes a great base for catching your favorite act without the downtown prices. It’s far enough from the action for a peaceful night’s rest, but close enough that a quick Uber or drive gets you to the music fast. The 24-hour front desk and flexible amenities mean late-night returns aren’t a hassle, and with free parking, you won’t be stressing about city garages.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends who want space to hang out and cook before and after the show
- Solo travelers catching a bucket-list tour stop
- Couples looking for a weekend getaway with good tunes and good sleep
- Fans seeking a quieter post-concert recovery without downtown noise
- Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort and convenience

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, each suite includes a kitchenette with a stove, microwave, and full-sized fridge—perfect for snacks after a show. The hotel also offers barbecue facilities for a casual pre-concert bite. Several fast food and casual dining options are just a short drive or walk away. Early risers (or late sleepers) can whip up breakfast in-room at any hour.

Nightlife Options

The hotel itself is more chill than party-heavy, but it’s a quick ride to Richmond’s buzzing nightlife. Whether you’re heading to a show, grabbing a local craft beer, or winding down in a low-key lounge, you’re close to the action without sacrificing sleep. Ideal if you want a night out, but not a loud night in.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, spacious rooms, especially the kitchen setups and comfy beds. Reviewers often mention the friendly staff and appreciate the quiet atmosphere after a busy night. The proximity to the airport and downtown Richmond is a big plus for concert-goers who don’t want to stress about logistics.

Areas for Improvement

This is a no-frills hotel, so don’t expect luxury decor or fancy extras. Some guests note the lack of daily housekeeping, but weekly service is standard for extended-stay properties. A car or ride service is helpful since public transport options are limited.

The Bottom Line

A solid, budget-friendly home base with everything you need for a comfortable concert weekend near Richmond—especially if you like to keep it low-key before and after the show.

Sleepless night in Candlewood due...

Liked: Staff was great, room was clean and had lots of amenities.
Disliked: The hotel itself was nice. However, we had a bunch of teenagers on our floor that literally ran up and down the hallway almost all night slamming doors and partying that kept me awake. When I woke up in the morning they had trashed the hallway with beer bottles and trash in the hall. If you don't believe me view your cameras. That why I rated an eight.Everything else was ok.

Bad

Liked: Location was about the only good thing
Disliked: Everything it was a stressful process when it shouldn't be especially with prior reservations. Booked 2 rooms only one was ready. Nothing but issues. I recommended this hotel to my family for a funeral. With all the issues and complaints never again will I. Some if my family went out and purchased bedding stuff for the sofa bed...because one if the hotel attendant at desk said don't provide (money wasted). The rooms that had issues for the weekend of July 11-13 2025 were 313 403 and 415 and yes I'm speaking on behalf of them as well because I referred them. On Saturday morning while in my bed, house keeping opens door (someone coukd have easilygotten hurt,), someone decide to check us out at 12:30am had to go down to front desk to correct that issue. My whole weekend should have been free with all that going on.
