The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express Leland - Wilmington Area By IHG

Comfort and Convenience Just Outside Wilmington

Modern, clean, and easy-going, Holiday Inn Express Leland - Wilmington Area is a reliable 4-star stay just across the river from downtown Wilmington. With free parking, a heated indoor pool, and quick access to I-140, this hotel offers a peaceful retreat after a high-energy night out.

Located just 5.8 miles from the USS North Carolina and under 10 miles from Wilmington International Airport, it's a solid base for exploring the local music scene—or simply recovering from it.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate the easy drive to downtown Wilmington’s venues, including Thalian Hall and the Greenfield Lake Amphitheater. After the show, return to a quieter suburban setting—far enough to escape the noise, but close enough to not miss a beat. The 24-hour front desk is great for late-night arrivals, and the free parking means no post-show parking stress.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for convenience and value
  • Solo travelers catching a dream concert
  • Couples making a music-filled weekend getaway
  • Fans who prefer a quieter recovery spot after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want solid amenities without the downtown price

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn’t offer late-night dining or a full-service restaurant, the included hot buffet and continental breakfast hits the spot after a late night. Nearby local eateries in Leland and Wilmington offer plenty of dining choices, and many are open late or deliver. 24/7 coffee and tea service is available in the lobby.

Nightlife Options

While there’s no on-site bar or live music, you’ll be just a short drive from Wilmington’s thriving nightlife. Whether you're into cozy lounges, local breweries, or waterfront clubs, you’ll find plenty of options to keep the night going.

What People Say

Guests consistently rave about the friendly staff, clean and spacious rooms, and great value. Many note how convenient the location is for concerts in Wilmington, with comfortable beds and strong Wi-Fi making it ideal for both fun and rest.

Areas for Improvement

If you’re looking for buzz and energy on-site, this might feel a bit too quiet. There’s no on-site restaurant or bar, and rideshares to downtown venues may take 10–15 minutes depending on traffic. But for many, the calm after the concert is a plus.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want affordability, comfort, and a quiet night’s sleep after the show, Holiday Inn Express Leland - Wilmington Area hits all the right notes.

Amazing. 10 stars! Will stay...

Liked: The property was amazing. Extremely nice staff, very clean, best breakfast, my favorite was having 2 beds and a couch that pulled out into a bed as well. Had a laundry facility right outside our room and enjoyed sitting outside at the tables. The staff went above and beyond to talk with my children and make sure we were taken care of. The morning breakfast cook (I’m terrible at name) was the most friendliest and my children really enjoyed talking with her. She deserves an employee of the month award. (She is the grandma to a girl named Lilly) Enjoyed our stay and will return.
Disliked: Smaller pool but was amazing for children.

Not the Rooms we had...

Liked: Great location near family & the wedding that we were attending. Room was clean & bed was comfortable.
Disliked: We were traveling with my 96-year-old mother who wanted a handicapped adjoining room to ours for safety reasons. We booked well in advance because we needed accommodations. The hotel contacted us to say there were no adjoining rooms in the hotel, but that we could have next door rooms. We agreed and discussed the details of the rooms via e-mail. When we arrived, our rooms were 1/2 way down the hall from each other! NOT ACCEPTABLE! The receptionist said that all the rooms closer to the handicapped room were taken. So, the best they could do was to put Mother in a regular room across from our room. She struggled in the bathroom with the lower toilet and could not take a shower because of stepping over the edge of the tub and not having a hand-held shower. We will not book rooms here again when visiting family in the area. We will stay at Best Western across the highway or at a Choice Hotel in Wilmington.In other things, our toilet appeared to be on its way to backing up as on the last day o our stay, it would bubble up when the upstairs people above us would flush their toilet. We notified the front desk.The rooms beside us were relatively sound-proof, but the room above us was loud! We heard every footstep and coughing spell the customers had and could hear partial conversations!
