Marriott's Willow Ridge Lodge

Relaxed Resort Vibes Near Branson’s Music Scene

Modern yet laid-back, Marriott's Willow Ridge Lodge brings resort comfort to the heart of Branson. Nestled on Green Mountain Drive, this 4-star stay is just minutes from the city's legendary theaters and live music venues. With both indoor and outdoor pools, a fitness center, and a cozy shared lounge, it’s the kind of place where you can unwind after a high-energy night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

The location is a major win—Titanic Museum, Andy Williams Moon River Theater, and Mickey Gilley Theatre are all within a quick drive (or a long walk if you’re feeling ambitious). The peaceful setting offers a nice break from the downtown buzz, and if you’re arriving late, the 24-hour front desk makes check-in easy. Though check-out is at 10:00 AM, you can still sneak in some pool time or a hot tub soak before hitting the road.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking to split a suite and chill by the pool
• Solo travelers chasing that bucket-list show with a comfortable base
• Couples making a weekend of music and relaxation
• Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
• Budget-conscious music fans who value good amenities over flash

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the barbecue facilities and in-room kitchenettes (in select accommodations) make it easy to refuel after a late night. Nearby restaurants are just a short drive or Uber away, and many guests appreciate being close to casual dining spots that serve up hearty brunches after sleeping in.

Nightlife Options

Though there’s no bar on-site, you’re just minutes from Branson’s nightlife, including theaters, lounges, and live music clubs. Whether you’re headed to a big-name concert or a local jam session, it’s all within easy reach. And when you're ready to wind down, the hot tub and shared lounge area offer a mellow vibe.

What People Say

Guests love the clean and spacious rooms, the friendly and helpful staff, and the range of amenities that make this feel more like a resort than a typical hotel. The pools are a big hit, especially in the warmer months, and many praise the peaceful atmosphere after a busy night out.

Areas for Improvement

Check-out time at 10:00 AM is a bit early for night owls, especially after a late show. Some guests also mention that dining options on-site are limited, so plan ahead for food if you’re arriving late.

The Bottom Line

Marriott's Willow Ridge Lodge is a comfy, well-equipped base for concert-goers who want easy access to Branson’s music scene without sacrificing relaxation.
