Hampton Inn By Hilton Louisville-Airport

Convenient Comfort Steps From Louisville's Top Venues

Modern and welcoming, the Hampton Inn By Hilton Louisville-Airport is a 3-star hotel just a short walk from the Kentucky Exposition Center and minutes from major music venues like Papa John's Cardinal Stadium and Trager Stadium. With a relaxed vibe, clean rooms, and thoughtful amenities, it's a smart home base for concert-goers flying into the city or road-tripping in for a weekend of live music.

Why Concert-goers love it

With the Louisville International Airport less than a mile away and a free shuttle service, getting to the hotel is a breeze—especially after a late show. You’re just over a 10-minute walk from the Kentucky Exposition Center, making it one of the closest stays to big concerts and festivals. Despite the proximity, the hotel offers a quiet, non-smoking environment for restful post-show recovery. Flexible check-in at 3:00 PM and a generous noon checkout let you ease into your day after a long night of music.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends attending festivals or stadium concerts
• Solo travelers touching down for a bucket-list show
• Couples making a weekend getaway out of a concert
• Fans who value quiet after a high-energy night
• Budget-conscious music lovers looking for convenience and comfort

Food and Drink Options

Start your morning off right with a daily buffet breakfast—ideal after a late night out. While there’s no on-site restaurant for dinner, there are several quick eats and casual dining spots within walking distance or a short ride away. The hotel’s proximity to the airport area means late-night bites are never far.

Nightlife Options

The hotel itself doesn’t offer live music or an on-site bar, but you’re just minutes from Louisville’s vibrant bar scene, with local breweries, lounges, and clubs around the stadium and expo center. Perfect for pre-show drinks or keeping the energy going after the encore.

Areas for Improvement
