The Spotlight on Hampton Inn Lexington Historic Area

Historic Charm Meets Concert Night Convenience

Modern comfort wrapped in a beautifully restored historic setting, the Hampton Inn By Hilton Lexington Historic Area blends Southern charm with traveler-friendly amenities. Located in the heart of Lexington, Virginia, it’s just a short stroll to downtown’s boutiques, restaurants, and cultural landmarks. With over 7 acres of lush greenery and inviting fireplaces, this hotel offers a peaceful post-show retreat without sacrificing location or comfort.

Why Concert-goers love it

Music lovers appreciate the hotel’s walkable proximity to downtown Lexington venues and nightlife. Despite its central location, the hotel is known for being quiet and relaxing—perfect for decompressing after a high-energy show. With a 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out, there's enough flexibility for travelers arriving early or sleeping in. Free high-speed internet makes it easy to stream your favorite setlist again the next morning.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to explore Lexington before and after the concert
  • Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list performance
  • Couples making a romantic weekend of it
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space surrounded by nature
  • Budget-conscious music fans wanting great value with free perks

Food and Drink Options

Guests love the free daily breakfast, especially handy after a late night out. While there’s no on-site restaurant, you're within walking distance of local eateries offering everything from Southern comfort food to upscale dining. Though the hotel doesn’t offer 24/7 room service, nearby spots stay open late, and the in-room fireplaces make for cozy in-room snacks.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel doesn’t host its own live music, downtown Lexington’s bars and lounges are a walkable adventure. You’ll find everything from low-key wine bars to lively pubs with local brews—and sometimes even live sets. Afterward, return to your quiet room for a restful night.

What People Say

Travelers consistently praise the hotel’s charming historic decor, friendly staff, and peaceful setting. Many note how the location strikes a perfect balance between convenience and tranquility. The free breakfast and clean, comfortable rooms also get high marks.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the hotel’s historic nature means fewer modern frills—like no on-site bar or late-night room service. A few also noted the pool area could use a refresh, but overall it's a minor trade-off for the charming setting.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers seeking a quiet, charming stay within walking distance of downtown Lexington, Hampton Inn By Hilton Lexington Historic Area hits all the right notes.

Lovely historic hotel but a...

Liked: The room was spacious with parking outside the room which was really convenient. The property had a lot of historical character and the gardens were well looked after. There was a hot breakfast buffet
Disliked: We were woken several times in the night by people shouting and clattering up and down on the walkway outside our room. I was disappointed that we had to eat with plastic cutlery from paper plates. Given the price and the lovely old building this felt very cheap

Liked: It’s proximity to our destination. And that’s literally about it.
Disliked: Musty, dank, outdated, blood stains on curtains in my room, the pool area looks like it hasn’t been used in years. The value for money.
