DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Newark Airport

Convenient Comfort Near the Action

Modern, spacious, and just minutes from Newark Liberty International Airport, the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Newark Airport blends convenience with comfort. Located just 3 miles from downtown Newark and about 12 miles from Manhattan, it’s a smart base for music lovers heading to concerts across the tri-state area. With a glass-enclosed atrium pool, 24-hour fitness center, and on-site dining, it’s a solid pick for travelers who want a stress-free stay with amenities that keep up with late nights.

Why Concert-goers love it

Its close proximity to Newark’s top venues and a quick drive or train ride into NYC make this hotel a go-to for those chasing live shows. The free airport shuttle makes late-night arrivals and departures a breeze, while the 24-hour fitness center and on-site bar mean you can keep the energy going or wind down after a long night. Rooms are quiet and comfortable—ideal for recovering post-show. Check-in starts at 4:00 PM, and while check-out is at 11:00 AM, the staff is known to be accommodating to late risers when possible.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a central base before hitting the venue
• Solo travelers on a music pilgrimage
• Couples making a weekend of it with shopping and shows
• Fans who want a peaceful retreat after the encore
• Budget-conscious music lovers using deals and proximity to transit

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s restaurant offers classic American fare and a breakfast buffet—perfect for a late-morning recovery meal. The on-site bar serves up cocktails and a light menu, with flat-screen TVs to catch post-concert highlights. While room service isn’t 24/7, the bar stays open late enough to grab a bite after the show. Plus, being just minutes from Newark and nearby malls means plenty of other dining options are a short drive or ride away.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t feature live music, you’re within easy reach of Newark’s local bars and lounges, and just a short trip from NYC nightlife. Want to keep it low-key? The hotel bar is a relaxing spot to talk over your favorite setlist moments with a local brew in hand.

What People Say

Guests often praise the friendly staff, comfy beds, and the convenience of the hotel's location—especially the airport shuttle and easy access to NYC. Many reviewers mention the cleanliness of the rooms and the relaxing vibe after a busy night out. The lobby’s bright, open design and the indoor pool also get points for helping guests unwind.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel feels a bit dated in spots, and the Wi-Fi can be hit or miss. While the location is great for getting around, it’s not walkable to restaurants or venues—you’ll need to Uber or drive. But for most concert-goers, the trade-off for convenience and quiet is well worth it.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a reliable, comfortable, and well-connected hotel before or after a concert in Newark or NYC, the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Newark Airport hits the right notes.
