Easygoing Comfort Just Outside Utica

Modern, clean, and conveniently located in scenic New Hartford, the Hampton Inn By Hilton and Suites New Hartford/Utica offers a laid-back stay with a touch of upscale charm. Just a short drive from downtown Utica’s live music venues, it’s a popular pick for concert-goers looking to mix entertainment with relaxation. With free WiFi, an indoor pool, and a sunny terrace, this 3-star hotel balances functionality and comfort.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate the hotel’s quiet location just far enough from the bustle for restful nights, but within easy reach (about 15 minutes by car) of top Utica venues like the Stanley Theatre and Saranac Brewery. The 24-hour front desk makes late check-ins a breeze after a night out, and the nearby highway access makes it easy to get back on the road the next day.
