Why Concert-goers love it

If you're heading to a show at the Prudential Center, you’ll love that it’s only a 5-minute walk from the hotel—perfect for catching a late-night set without worrying about transit.

And thanks to its modern construction, rooms are relatively quiet despite being in the city center.
