Drury Inn & Suites Knoxville West

A Relaxing Knoxville Stay Just Outside the Action

Modern and welcoming, Drury Inn & Suites Knoxville West offers a peaceful retreat in the West Knoxville district—just a short drive from the heart of the city’s live music scene. With clean, spacious rooms, free WiFi, and friendly service, it’s a great base for concert-goers who want convenience without sacrificing comfort. You’ll be around 10–11 miles from downtown venues, but with free parking and quick access to major roads, getting there is a breeze.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel strikes the perfect balance between accessibility and calm. You’re close enough to easily reach big shows at the University of Tennessee or Knoxville Convention Center, but just far enough for a quiet night’s sleep after the encore. The 24-hour front desk is a plus for late check-ins, and with free parking, you can skip the rideshare stress. Guests also love the outdoor pool and hot tub—ideal for unwinding post-show.

• Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list performance
• Couples looking for a relaxed yet accessible date-night spot
• Fans who value a quieter space to recharge after the crowd

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you’re within easy reach of downtown Knoxville’s bars, lounges, and music joints. Plus, after a night out, you can return to a more laid-back atmosphere—ideal for winding down. Craft beer lovers will find local brews nearby, and the hotel’s hot tub is a solid post-concert hangout.
