Hard Rock Hotel Daytona Beach

Rock Out, Then Chill Out at This Oceanfront Icon

Modern, music-inspired and set right on the Atlantic, the Hard Rock Hotel Daytona Beach blends resort-style comfort with the signature Hard Rock vibe. Located just over a mile from Ocean Center and minutes from Daytona’s biggest concert venues, this four-star hotel is a favorite for travelers looking to mix their love of music with a beachside escape. Expect sleek rooms with 50-inch TVs, a lively waterfront stage, and all the perks of a full-service resort.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just a quick cab or Uber ride (under 10 minutes) from major venues like Ocean Center and Daytona Beach Bandshell. After the show, come back to a quiet, oceanfront setting—far enough from the crowds to relax, but close enough to keep the energy going if you choose. Flexible 4:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out give you time to settle in and sleep off that encore. Plus, with music-themed facilities like the Rock Spa® and Body Rock® Fitness Center, the vibe stays alive even after the concert ends.

- Groups of friends wanting a mini beachside fest
- Solo travelers seeing a dream band or artist
- Couples turning a show into a romantic weekend
- Fans who want a peaceful ocean view after the buzz
- Budget-conscious fans looking for resort-style value
