College Park Marriott Hotel & Conference Center

Stylish Comfort Just Outside the Buzz of DC

Modern and comfortable, the College Park Marriott Hotel & Conference Center offers a peaceful stay just a short drive from downtown Washington, DC. Nestled in the heart of College Park and less than a mile from the University of Maryland, this art-infused hotel blends campus charm with upscale touches. With flat-screen TVs, on-site galleries, and a gym, it's a smart pick for travelers looking for both culture and convenience.

You'll find free WiFi throughout, cozy seating areas in every room, and helpful extras like laundry facilities and valet dry cleaning. Whether you're here for a big show or a laid-back weekend, this hotel sets the stage for stress-free stays.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate the easy access to Washington DC venues while still enjoying a quieter suburban vibe. Located just 11 miles from downtown, you’re close to major arenas without being stuck in the post-show traffic crush. The hotel’s late 12:00 PM checkout is a bonus after a night out, and ample parking makes it a breeze for road-trippers. Plus, with public transport nearby, getting to and from gigs is simple even without a car.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a chill place to crash after a show
• Solo travelers catching that once-in-a-lifetime tour
• Couples planning a weekend of music and museums
• Fans wanting peace and quiet after the encore
• Budget-conscious music lovers who want value near the city

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant, The Common, serves up crowd-pleasing American fare – ideal for pre-show fuel or post-gig bites. While there's no 24/7 room service, the hotel’s location near the university means plenty of walkable eateries and late-night spots are within reach. Breakfast is available, so you can refuel after a late-night show without leaving the property.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself has a more relaxed, campus-inspired vibe, it's just a short ride into DC for legendary music venues, rooftop bars, and lounges. Whether you're looking for live music, DJs, or craft cocktails, you’re never far from the action. Prefer to stay in? Enjoy a drink at the hotel’s bar and unwind in style.

What People Say

Guests praise the hotel’s modern look, cleanliness, and helpful staff. Many love the quiet setting after a busy night out and the easy access to DC without the high downtown prices. The art gallery atmosphere and comfortable rooms also get shout-outs, especially from concert-goers looking to relax post-show.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that on-site dining hours can be limited, so it’s smart to explore nearby restaurants if you're arriving late. Others found the vibe a bit businesslike—great for relaxing, but not a party hotel.

The Bottom Line

The College Park Marriott is a smart, quiet, and convenient choice for concert-goers who want to be near the action—but not in the middle of it.
