The Spotlight on Marriott Lexington Griffin Gate Golf Resort & Spa

Luxury Meets Live Music Vibes in Lexington


Modern luxury meets Southern hospitality at the Marriott Lexington Griffin Gate Golf Resort & Spa. Set among lush greens just outside downtown Lexington, this upscale resort offers a serene escape with high-end amenities and elegant style — all within close reach of Lexington’s concert venues and nightlife.

With a full-service spa, an outdoor pool, an on-site golf course, and spacious rooms with flat-screen TVs and plush furnishings, it’s the perfect blend of comfort and convenience for music fans looking to unwind in style.

Why Concert-goers love it


This resort is a great home base for concert nights, located just a short drive from downtown Lexington’s event spaces and live music venues. The peaceful grounds and spacious rooms offer a quiet post-show retreat, while the 24-hour front desk and late check-out at 12:00 PM give you flexibility after a late night. Plus, with free Wi-Fi in public areas and room service available, you’ll have everything you need to recover in comfort.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a relaxing yet upscale weekend
  • Solo travelers heading to a big show
  • Couples combining concerts with a spa getaway
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
  • Budget-conscious music fans who value quality and amenities

Food and Drink Options


Fuel up before or after your show at Bluegrass Bistro and Birdies & Bourbon, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner on-site. Need a pick-me-up? There’s a Starbucks right in the resort. Room service is available for those late-night cravings, and breakfast is served well into the morning — perfect after a night of music and fun.

Nightlife Options


While the hotel itself offers a more serene scene, it’s just a short drive into downtown Lexington where you’ll find bars, live music joints, and lounges. Whether you're looking to keep the energy going or prefer a chill nightcap, the city’s nightlife is easily accessible.

What People Say

  • Guests rave about the peaceful atmosphere and beautifully maintained grounds.
  • Many love the spacious, clean rooms and luxurious bathrooms.
  • Staff are frequently praised for being friendly and helpful.
  • Travelers appreciate the on-site dining and Starbucks for morning convenience.

Areas for Improvement

  • The hotel is a short drive from downtown, so rideshare or car is needed for concert venues.
  • Some guests noted that Wi-Fi is only free in public areas, not in rooms.
  • It’s more of a resort vibe — so if you’re looking for high-energy nightlife on-site, this might not be the spot.

The Bottom Line


Marriott Lexington Griffin Gate Golf Resort & Spa is a polished, peaceful choice for concert-goers who want to pair their music experience with comfort, class, and a touch of luxury.

Wanted to relax but location...

Liked: Pool area was nice. Beds were comfortable and room was quiet.
Disliked: View out both windows onto the rocky roof was awful. Netflix wouldn’t load on the TV. Location was further out from downtown than anticipated with lots of traffic and construction.

Nice place to stay.

Liked: Unfortunately, the city has built up around the resort, but the grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The room was very comfortable and clean. The food was good, but over priced. The waitresses were attentive and very professional. But when the kitchen staff brought out the food they just handed us our plates rather than placing them in front of us. Other dining room staff would wander and pace if they didn’t have guests to attend to which was distracting. The spa experience was excellent but over priced.
Disliked: See comments above.
