Merriweather Lakehouse Hotel Autograph Collection

Modern Lakeside Escape Just Minutes from Live Music

A sleek, contemporary hotel overlooking Lake Kittamaqundi, the Merriweather Lakehouse Hotel Autograph Collection blends upscale comfort with laid-back charm. Located in Columbia, MD, it's just one mile from the iconic Merriweather Post Pavilion and steps from The Mall in Columbia. With a scenic setting, stylish rooms, and a buzzing on-site restaurant and bar, it’s a perfect base for concert-goers who want both energy and tranquility.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is practically made for music fans. You're just a quick walk or ride from Merriweather Post Pavilion, making it easy to catch your favorite artist without the stress of parking or traffic. After the show, unwind in a quiet, lakeside room with plush bedding and complimentary Wi-Fi. Late check-out at 12:00 PM means you can sleep in after a late night, and same-day laundry service is a lifesaver after a weekend of shows.

Who this Hotel is great for

Food and Drink Options

The on-site LAK Restaurant serves up delicious Continental dishes in a relaxed setting, perfect for pre-show dinners or post-show bites. Craving something lighter? The Rookery Bar & Lounge offers small plates and a creative cocktail menu. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the hotel’s central location means late-night eats are just a walk away. Bonus: you can grab a leisurely breakfast even after a late night out.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself keeps things serene, you're just minutes from Columbia’s best bars, lounges, and of course, live music venues. For a low-key night, enjoy a craft cocktail or local beer at The Rookery, the hotel’s stylish bar with lake views.

What People Say

Guests rave about the hotel’s beautiful lakeside setting, clean and modern rooms, and proximity to Merriweather Post Pavilion. Many highlight the friendly staff and the convenient location within walking distance of shopping, dining, and entertainment. The fitness center with Peloton bikes is also a hit with active travelers.

Areas for Improvement

While most guests enjoy their stay, some mention that parking can be limited during peak event weekends. Also, don't expect a bustling nightlife scene on-site—this is more of a wind-down kind of spot.

The Bottom Line

The Merriweather Lakehouse Hotel Autograph Collection is a stylish and convenient home base for concert-goers who want comfort, great views, and quick access to live music without the chaos.
