The Spotlight on DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Reading

Comfort Meets Convenience in Downtown Reading

Modern, welcoming, and just minutes from the heart of Reading’s music scene, DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Reading offers a polished stay with thoughtful amenities. Whether you're in town for a stadium show or an intimate venue gig, this hotel sets the tone for a smooth and enjoyable concert weekend.
Guests enjoy free private parking, a full-service restaurant and bar, and an indoor pool — plus, a warm cookie at check-in never hurts.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert lovers appreciate the central location, just a short walk or quick ride from many of Reading’s top venues. The hotel offers a shuttle service — a major bonus for late-night shows. Rooms are quiet and well-insulated, making it easy to wind down post-concert. Check-in starts at 3 PM, and check-out at 11 AM gives you enough time to sleep in after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a stylish, central base with amenities to match
  • Solo travelers in town for that once-in-a-lifetime gig
  • Couples enjoying a romantic concert weekend
  • Fans needing a chill space after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant serves up American favorites, and the bar is perfect for a pre-show toast or nightcap. Room service is available 24/7, and breakfast comes in buffet, continental, or full American styles — ideal if you're waking up a bit later after a big night out.

Nightlife Options

While not a party hub itself, the hotel’s on-site bar offers a relaxed spot to grab a drink. You're also close to downtown Reading’s bars and lounges, meaning you can keep the night going or find somewhere low-key to regroup.

What People Say

Reviews highlight the hotel’s friendly staff, clean, modern rooms, and excellent location for events. Guests love the free parking (a rarity downtown!) and the overall feeling of safety and comfort. Many mention the quick access to concert venues and the convenience of the shuttle service.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests noted that the indoor pool area could use a refresh, and while the restaurant is solid, dining options beyond the hotel can be limited late at night — but with room service around the clock, you won’t go hungry.

The Bottom Line

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Reading is a top pick for concert-goers who want a central, comfortable, and stress-free stay with all the right amenities.

Hotel was perfect, walking distance to the venue. My first interaction was with Frank who gave me all the details on parking and was also friendly on our departure. All of the staff was helpful and polite. I am in the service business for a long time and I really appreciate the customer service I received.

Liked: Cleanliness and friendly staff. Provided water and great cookies for the room.
Disliked: Nothing.

Mark, Spencerport, visiting Maple Grove Raceway Mon, 22 May 2023

Everyone I came in contact with gave me the impression they thoroughly enjoyed my company and they thoroughly enjoyed their job. I also overheard other guests being treated exactly the same way. The restaurant food was excellent both when I ate in and ordered take out. The restaurant hostess, waitress, and meal made the dining a 5 star plus experience. Thanks to everyone for doing it right.

Liked: The staff.

Liked: The second we entered the lobby, a staff member greeted us with the biggest smile and welcome. I asked for a really nice room and we got a really nice room. Clean and very comfortable. Loved the bathroom with the walk-in shower and glass doors. Oh, and let's not forget the delicious cookies we were given when we registered.
