Modern comfort a short drive from downtown Knoxville

Modern, relaxed, and well-equipped, the Courtyard by Marriott Knoxville West/Bearden offers a convenient base just west of downtown.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate this hotel’s balance between proximity and peace. You're only a few miles from big-name venues like Neyland Stadium and the Thompson-Boling Arena, but far enough to escape the post-show crowds. The 24-hour front desk makes late-night returns hassle-free, and the flexible check-out time (12:00 PM) gives you a chance to sleep in after dancing the night away. Plus, free WiFi and a comfy lounge area make it easy to coordinate with your crew or relive the night on social media.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for shared social spaces and double-queen rooms
• Solo travelers seeing a bucket-list artist who want a safe, well-connected base
• Couples making a weekend of it with mountain views and cozy seating areas
• Fans needing a quieter spot to recover from the crowd buzz
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want amenities like a pool and gym

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant and bar offer American and vegetarian breakfast options, perfect for slow mornings after a late show. While room service isn’t 24/7, there’s a convenient café-style bistro that serves up light fare and drinks into the evening. You’ll also find a solid mix of restaurants and fast-casual spots within a short walk or drive.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel doesn’t host live music, it has a casual on-site bar for a nightcap and is close to Knoxville’s West Town scene. Downtown bars and lounges are a short rideshare away, offering options whether you're in the mood to keep the party going or chill with a local craft beer.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, modern rooms and friendly service. Many highlight the quiet surroundings after a night out, plus the bonus of an indoor pool and fitness center. The easy drive to venues and downtown attractions is another major perk, especially for those with a car.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the on-site dining options close a bit early for late-night cravings, so it’s smart to plan ahead or explore nearby eateries. Others note that while the hotel is close to major roads, having a car is helpful for getting to downtown venues more quickly.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want a quiet, comfortable place to recharge without being far from the action, Courtyard by Marriott Knoxville West/Bearden hits the right note.
