Hampton Inn By Hilton Detroit/Utica-Shelby Township

Comfortable Convenience Near Detroit’s Top Music Venues

Modern and welcoming, the Hampton Inn By Hilton Detroit/Utica-Shelby Township offers a laid-back home base in Shelby Township, just outside the Detroit metro area. This 3-star hotel blends comfort with convenience, featuring an indoor pool, hot tub, and fitness center. It’s a calm, suburban spot that’s still well-connected to some of the region’s best performance spaces.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location-wise, this hotel puts you within a short drive of popular venues like Meadow Brook Music Festival, Emerald Theatre, and Jerome Duncan Ford Theatre — all under 15 miles away. After the show, retreat to a peaceful room with a flat-screen TV and comfortable setup that’s made for winding down. The 24-hour front desk makes late-night arrivals easy, and free parking means no stress if you're driving in for a gig.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends heading to a show together
• Solo travelers catching a dream concert
• Couples turning a show into a weekend escape
• Fans seeking quiet recovery after a loud night out
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the hotel offers a solid free hot breakfast — perfect after a late night out. You’ll find plenty of local dining options just a short drive away, with everything from casual bites to sit-down spots. No 24/7 room service, but the friendly staff can help point you to nearby late-night eats.

Nightlife Options

This is more of a calm, suburban stay — ideal for post-show relaxation. But if you're up for more, there are bars and lounges nearby in Utica and Sterling Heights. For live music, your best bet is heading to the venues themselves or exploring Detroit nightlife on your way back.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the clean rooms, friendly staff, and comfortable beds. Many reviews mention the hotel’s quiet surroundings — a huge plus after a noisy concert. The indoor pool and hot tub also get love as a relaxing way to unwind.

Areas for Improvement

While the hotel is not smack in the middle of downtown Detroit, most major venues are still easily accessible by car. Some guests noted the lack of on-site dining and no bar as a downside, but nearby options fill the gap.

The Bottom Line

A clean, calm, and cost-friendly stay that puts you near Detroit’s top music venues — ideal for concert-goers who want an easy, restful night after the show.
