Courtyard by Marriott Lexington North

Concert-Friendly Comfort Just Minutes from the Action

Modern and welcoming, the Courtyard by Marriott Lexington North blends convenience and comfort in the heart of Kentucky’s horse country. Just a short drive from downtown Lexington, this hotel puts you close to major music venues like Rupp Arena and The Kentucky Theater, while giving you a quiet retreat at the end of the night. With free WiFi, an indoor pool, and stylish rooms featuring mini-fridges and microwaves, it’s a great base for a music-filled weekend.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and this hotel delivers. Rupp Arena is only 2.5 miles away, making it a quick ride-share or drive from your room to the show. After the final encore, you’ll be back relaxing in minutes. The hotel is set in a quieter part of town, so you can recharge away from the downtown buzz. With a 3:00 PM check-in and a generous 12:00 PM check-out, there’s no rush after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a comfortable pre- and post-show hangout spot
• Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list concert
• Couples making a weekend of it with music and local attractions
• Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
• Budget-conscious music fans who still want quality and convenience

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Bistro serves up breakfast in the morning and beer and wine in the evening — perfect for winding down after a show. There’s also a 24-hour mini-market for late-night snacks and beverages. You won’t find full-room service, but with a microwave and fridge in your room, midnight leftovers are a breeze. Breakfast is available, even if you sleep in a bit.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you’re only a short Uber away from Lexington’s vibrant nightlife. Enjoy nearby bars, lounges, and local spots where the music keeps going. If you’re in the mood for something more low-key, sip a local craft beer or glass of wine at the hotel’s Bistro.
