Raleigh Marriott Crabtree Valley

Modern comfort steps from shopping and music

A polished, contemporary hotel located just off Highway 70, Raleigh Marriott Crabtree Valley combines sleek style with convenience. Just 11 miles from Raleigh-Durham Airport and a quick walk to Crabtree Valley Mall, it’s an ideal base for exploring Raleigh’s vibrant concert scene. With upscale touches like 47-inch SMART TVs (with Netflix), a fitness center, and two on-site restaurants, it’s designed for both relaxation and entertainment.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel offers a perfect mix of comfort and location. It’s within easy driving distance of several major music venues and only 11 miles from the airport—so catching a late-night set or early flight is a breeze. Though close to the action, it sits in a quieter part of town, offering a peaceful atmosphere after a high-energy show. Late-night transport is accessible, and the front desk is staffed 24/7 to support late arrivals. Plus, the check-in time of 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM give you enough flexibility for post-show recovery.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a stylish crash pad near the action
• Solo travelers catching a bucket-list performance
• Couples making a concert weekend getaway
• Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space outside the late-night buzz
• Budget-conscious music fans sharing rooms or taking advantage of walkable dining

Food and Drink Options

BRAISE, the hotel’s signature restaurant, serves up contemporary Southern American cuisine for lunch and dinner—perfect for a pre-show meal or a late dinner. While there’s no 24-hour room service, the in-room mini-fridge and coffee maker are great for quick bites and morning recovery. A variety of walkable dining options are available at Crabtree Valley Mall, just a 3-minute stroll away. Breakfast is available onsite, ideal for those who need a little extra time to rise after a late night.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, its proximity to Raleigh’s top venues and nightlife makes it a solid pick. Bars, lounges, and clubs are a short drive or rideshare away, and the hotel bar offers a relaxing spot to unwind with a cocktail or local brew before or after the show.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the clean, modern rooms and exceptionally friendly staff. The location is a standout feature—many reviewers love being close to shopping, dining, and venues without the downtown traffic. The in-room SMART TVs with Netflix and premium channels are a big hit with those relaxing between shows.

Areas for Improvement

While the hotel is well-maintained, some guests mention that parking can be a bit tight during peak times. Others note that, while the location is convenient, a car or rideshare is necessary to reach most of the nightlife and concert venues downtown.

The Bottom Line

A stylish, well-located base for concert-goers who want comfort, convenience, and quiet after the show.
