Modern comfort just steps from the music

Element By Westin Harrison-Newark is a sleek, eco-friendly hotel in Harrison, NJ, offering a refreshing blend of convenience and comfort.

Rooms come with full kitchens, spacious seating areas, and thoughtful touches like free WiFi and air conditioning, making it feel more like a stylish apartment than a standard hotel room.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel’s proximity to Red Bull Arena—just a 10-minute walk—makes it a top pick for concert nights. After the show, skip the traffic and stroll back to your room. The hotel’s relatively quiet neighborhood gives you a peaceful retreat for post-concert wind-downs. With 12 p.m. checkout, you can sleep in after a late night, and Newark Airport just 3.7 miles away makes early arrivals or departures easy.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends wanting space to hang out before and after the show
• Solo travelers looking for a secure, well-connected base
• Couples planning a weekend concert getaway
• Fans who want a quiet, modern place to recover
• Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t want to sacrifice comfort

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel has a small on-site restaurant and bar, the real perk is the in-room full kitchen—ideal for late-night snacks or next-day brunch. A complimentary breakfast is available, and nearby Newark offers plenty of walkable dining options for pre- or post-show bites.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself leans more chill than party, you’re just a short ride away from Newark’s vibrant bar scene. If you prefer to stay in, the on-site bar offers a relaxed spot to unwind over a drink. For more action, hop on a train to NYC for world-class nightlife just 11 miles away.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, modern rooms, especially the full kitchens and spacious layouts. Many appreciate the hotel’s friendly staff and the convenience of being so close to Red Bull Arena. Travelers also mention the easy access to NYC and the free bike rentals as standout perks.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that while the area is generally quiet, it’s more business-oriented than lively, so you may want to head into Newark or NYC for a more energetic vibe. Also, parking can be tight during major events, so plan ahead if driving.

The Bottom Line

If you're catching a concert at Red Bull Arena or nearby, Element By Westin Harrison-Newark offers a smart, stylish base with room to relax and recharge.
