Comfort and Convenience Just Across the River

Modern and welcoming, the Holiday Inn Express New Albany Hotel offers relaxed accommodations just outside of downtown Louisville. Set in the laid-back town of New Albany, Indiana, this 3-star hotel puts you within a short drive of major concert spots while giving you a quieter place to unwind after the show. With easy highway access, free WiFi, and thoughtful amenities like an indoor pool and fitness center, it's a smart pick for music lovers on the move.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just over 5 miles from big-name venues like the Louisville Slugger Museum and Muhammad Ali Center, this hotel is close enough to reach downtown shows in minutes—without the hustle and bustle of staying right in the city. Late-night drives back are quick and Uber-friendly, and the quiet New Albany location means you'll actually get some sleep. The 24-hour front desk and 4 p.m. check-in offer flexibility if you're arriving the day of the concert.

Who this Hotel is great for

Food and Drink Options

Start your day (even after a late night) with the hotel's buffet breakfast. While there's no on-site restaurant, each room includes a microwave, fridge, and coffee maker—perfect for late-night snacks or leftovers from nearby eateries. Several local dining spots are just a short drive or delivery away. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the front desk is always open to offer suggestions or help you order.

Nightlife Options

This hotel is more about rest than revelry, but you're just across the bridge from Louisville's buzzing nightlife. Catch a live set, sip a craft cocktail downtown, then come back to a peaceful room. Want something low-key? Many downtown bars are open late, and easy rideshare options make getting back simple.

What People Say

Guests praise the friendly staff, clean and spacious rooms, and the quiet location that’s still close to the action. The free parking and easy access to downtown Louisville are major highlights, especially for those attending events. Many reviews mention the comfortable beds—a must after a long night on your feet.

Areas for Improvement

While it’s not in the heart of Louisville, the drive is short and straightforward. Some guests mentioned that the neighborhood is quieter and not walkable to nightlife, so you’ll need a car or rideshare. Breakfast gets busy on weekends—so don’t wait until the last minute.

The Bottom Line

A solid, affordable choice for concert-goers wanting to be near the action without the downtown price tag or noise.
