The Spotlight on Elwood Hotel & Suites

Modern & Relaxed Boutique Hotel Close to the Action

Elwood Hotel & Suites is a stylish 4-star boutique hotel in Lexington, just under 2 miles from Rupp Arena and the Lexington Convention Center. With a warm, modern design and amenities like a fitness center, on-site restaurant, and free parking, it’s a favorite for travelers looking to blend comfort with convenience. Whether you're catching a big show downtown or exploring the surrounding culture, this hotel offers a peaceful place to unwind after the music fades.

Why Concert-goers love it

Music fans love that Elwood Hotel & Suites is just a short drive or rideshare away from top Lexington venues. After the show, you’ll appreciate the quiet, boutique atmosphere — far enough from the buzz to relax, but close enough to not miss a beat. The 24-hour front desk and concierge service make late check-ins a breeze, especially if you're rolling in after an encore. Plus, parking is free (a rarity near downtown venues).

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends looking for a central crash pad
Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list artist
Couples planning a concert-filled weekend getaway
Fans who need a quiet, comfy place to decompress post-show
Budget-conscious music lovers who want upscale vibes without the downtown price tag

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant and bar offer easy pre- or post-show bites. While there's no 24/7 room service, you’ll find local eats within walking or quick driving distance. Some rooms include kitchenettes with a microwave and fridge — perfect for midnight snacks or next-day recovery fuel. Breakfast is available, and the hotel’s relaxed vibe makes sleeping in guilt-free.

Nightlife Options

While Elwood doesn’t offer live music on-site, its close proximity to downtown Lexington puts you just minutes from bars, clubs, and late-night hangouts. The hotel bar is a welcoming spot to sip something local before heading out or winding down.

What People Say

Guests rave about the hotel’s modern décor, friendly staff, and cleanliness. Many highlight the spacious rooms and the convenience of free parking. The peaceful atmosphere and easy access to downtown music venues get consistent praise from concert-goers.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that amenities like breakfast aren't complimentary, and that there's no pool. Also, while you're close to the action, you’ll likely need a car or rideshare to reach most venues and nightlife safely at night.

The Bottom Line

Elwood Hotel & Suites is a stylish and peaceful base for concert-goers who want modern comfort, easy access to venues, and a quiet place to recharge after the encore.

Very good

Liked: The rooms were spacious and very clean. The hotel was very nice with a boutique feel.
Disliked: The pillows were the one thing I wasn’t a fan of. There was only 3 on a king bed and they weren’t great.

Like a Gingerbread House. Beautiful...

Liked: Based on the photos and reviews, I entered with high expectations. Most of which were met at first glance. The facility was a stunning place and even smelt pleasant with a sweet aroma as you entered the lobby. The staff was very friendly and provided attentive assistance when needed. The attention to detail for those who have dogs made my stay extremely pleasant regarding the materials used for the doors and floors to avoid damages. Ontop of that, the room was WHITE! Everything was super clean and the bed was nice and just soft enough for us to sleep well. Qudos to housekeeping. They were constantly hard at work from what I've seen and always had a smile in passing. I sure hope they are compensated well.
Disliked: Although this hotel is stunning and has a very luxe first impression, the longer you stay, the more you start to understand the negative reviews. The walls were paper thin. My partner and I were woken up multiple times during our stay. Night one, the room next to our's alarm went off multiple times in the morning. The following morning, around 6 am, a causation woman in a Lincoln SUV parked directly outside of our window shouted profanities including multiple use of the "N" word and exploits of a sexual nature. We chose this hotel for their pet friendly advertisement. Before booking, I had performed research and noticed the by law that if dogs cause a disturbance, they may be removed from the room and the owner will be charged a pet watching fee. With this in mind, I would have thought we would have been providided a more insulated room. My dogs are very well behaved and typically do not bark especially when put in their pin. However, due to the thin walls, you can hear EVERYTHING. We were concerned about them making noise from hearing any little sound outside of the room. Our trip was limited because we were unable to leave them behind as planned. Making it very disappointing. I propose management provide dog owners with better insulated rooms in the future for this to be avoided.

Lifestyle little gem in Lexington.

Liked: A real gem and antidote to the traditional US hotel offering; super-friendly team, super food & bar offering and quirky design all made for a thoroughly enjoyable stay. We will be back!
Disliked: Nothing really. Maybe a peloton or similar in the gym?
