Modern and welcoming, the Residence Inn by Marriott Richmond Chester blends extended-stay comfort with easy access to Richmond’s music and cultural hotspots.

Whether you're catching a show at a local theater or heading into the city, this hotel has the right mix of convenience and comfort to make your concert weekend easy and enjoyable.

Why Concert-goers love it

Staying here means you're far enough to enjoy a quiet night’s sleep, but close enough to reach Richmond’s top concert venues in under 30 minutes. With late check-out at 12:00, you can sleep in after a night out. The 24-hour front desk team is helpful with local tips, and the hotel’s location near major highways and Richmond International Airport (just 14 miles away) makes transport simple, whether you're catching a ride or driving yourself.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for roomy suites with kitchens for pre-show snacks or post-show hangs
• Solo travelers coming in for that bucket-list artist
• Couples planning a music-filled weekend away
• Fans craving a quieter, more relaxed post-concert recovery spot
• Budget-conscious music lovers wanting value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

Fuel up before or after the show with a free daily American or buffet breakfast. While there's no on-site restaurant, many local eateries are a short drive away. Rooms with full kitchens (fridge, dishwasher, microwave) make it easy to prep snacks or meals at your own pace. While room service isn’t available 24/7, you’ll have the flexibility to eat your way with grocery delivery options and nearby dining.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about winding down than turning up, Richmond’s vibrant nightlife is just a short drive away. From craft beer bars to live music venues and lounges, you’ll find plenty of post-concert action without staying in the middle of the noise. Back at the hotel, the indoor pool and hot tub offer a relaxing nightcap alternative.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, spacious suites and friendly staff. Reviewers often mention how quiet the location is, making it ideal after a noisy night out. The indoor pool and hot tub are a hit for relaxing, and many appreciate the in-room kitchens for longer stays or late-night bites.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention the location is a bit car-dependent, so rideshares or having a vehicle is helpful. There’s no bar or restaurant on-site, so night owls may need to plan ahead for food and drinks.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a calm, comfy place to recharge after a concert—without straying too far from the action—the Residence Inn by Marriott Richmond Chester hits the right notes.
