Hilton Knoxville Airport

Relaxed Comfort Steps from the Airport and Knoxville’s Music Scene

Modern and convenient, the Hilton Knoxville Airport offers a laid-back yet polished stay just outside the city buzz. Located in Alcoa, only 11 miles from downtown Knoxville and major concert venues, this 3-star hotel is perfect for music lovers who want to stay close—but not too close—to the action. With free private parking, a hot tub, and an on-site bar and restaurant, it’s a stress-free home base for your next show.

All rooms come with a fridge, free WiFi, and access to 24/7 room service. The hotel also offers a free airport shuttle—McGhee Tyson Airport is literally just steps away. Check-in is from 3:00 PM and you can enjoy a late check-out until 1:00 PM, perfect for sleeping in after a night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate the easy drive into Knoxville for shows and the peaceful recovery space back in Alcoa. The hotel is far enough from the noise to guarantee a good night’s sleep, yet close enough to downtown to make show night logistics a breeze. With free parking and a 24-hour front desk, late returns are no problem. The late check-out is a bonus for anyone catching a flight or just catching up on rest.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a convenient and affordable base
• Solo travelers flying in to see a favorite artist
• Couples turning a concert night into a weekend getaway
• Fans who want a quiet, comfortable recovery spot after the show

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant and bar make grabbing a bite or a drink easy before or after your show. There’s also 24/7 room service for those post-concert cravings. While specific late-night dining hours aren’t listed, the hotel’s airport location means nearby fast food options are usually available. Breakfast is available and perfect if you’re sleeping in after a late night.

Nightlife Options

While not in the heart of the Knoxville bar scene, the hotel features its own bar for a relaxed drink. For more nightlife, downtown Knoxville—home to bars, clubs, and live music—is just a short drive away.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, quiet rooms, friendly staff, and how hassle-free the whole experience is. The free parking and airport proximity get frequent praise, and many reviewers highlight the hotel’s reliable shuttle service and comfy beds.

Areas for Improvement

Some travelers mention that the decor could use a bit of a refresh, and while the location is great for the airport, you’ll need a car or ride-share to get to downtown venues. But that slight distance also means peace and quiet after the show.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a comfortable, quiet base with convenient access to Knoxville’s concerts and airport, Hilton Knoxville Airport hits all the right notes.
