Comfort Meets Convenience Near Sioux Falls Music Venues

Modern and budget-friendly, the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Sioux Falls At Empire Mall By IHG offers a relaxing stay just off I-29, placing you within easy reach of Sioux Falls' top concert spots.

Whether you're in town for a sold-out stadium show or a cozy local gig, you'll appreciate the hotel’s mix of comfort, convenience, and value.

Why Concert-goers love it

One of the best perks? You're just a short drive from several major music venues, making it easy to get to and from your event without the hassle.

  • Vending machines on site for quick snacks and drinks
  • Microwaves and fridges in select rooms make late-night bites easy

Nightlife Options

  • While the hotel doesn’t offer live music on-site, you're just minutes from Sioux Falls’ bars and lounges
  • Short drive to downtown nightlife and casual local pubs
  • Return to the hotel’s quiet shared lounge for a low-key nightcap

What People Say

Very pleasant, my grandsons enjoyed...

Liked: I have stayed at 5 different hotels in Sioux Falls, this Holiday Inn Express was by far the best one yet.
Disliked: Grab bars in the bathroom, especially in the shower would be helpful. I’m in my 60’s but far from disabled. It’s still easy to lose my balance and having something to hold onto makes me feel more secure.
