Spacious Comfort Just Minutes from Maryland’s Top Venues

Modern and roomy, Comfort Suites Columbia Gateway offers a relaxed, all-suites experience with easy access to Baltimore and Columbia’s vibrant music scene. Conveniently located off I-95 and just 8.4 miles from Merriweather Post Pavilion, it’s a smart spot for concert-goers who want space, quiet, and comfort after the show.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a hit with music fans thanks to its close proximity to Merriweather Post Pavilion—just a 15-minute drive. If you’re flying in, it’s also just under 10 miles from Baltimore/Washington International Airport. Despite its convenient location, the hotel is tucked away enough to offer a quiet night’s rest after the encore. Flexible 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out times give you plenty of buffer, while free parking and easy highway access make late-night returns a breeze.

While there’s no on-site restaurant for evening meals, every suite includes a microwave and refrigerator for late-night snacks. Nearby eateries in Elkridge and Columbia offer plenty of dining choices within a short drive.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about R&R than raging, you're just minutes from the nightlife options of Columbia and downtown Baltimore. Whether you’re looking for live music, bars, or late-night lounges, you’re well-positioned to explore the local scene before or after the main event.
