Sheraton Louisville Riverside Hotel

Comfort, Views, and Convenience Just Across the River

Modern, welcoming, and right on the scenic Ohio River, the Sheraton Louisville Riverside Hotel offers concert-goers a relaxing escape just across the bridge from downtown Louisville. With a stylish lobby, comfortable rooms, and a peaceful waterfront setting, this 3-star hotel blends convenience with calm after a night of live music.
You're just 1.4 miles from major music venues like KFC Yum! Center and within easy reach of the Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts. With great amenities like an indoor pool, hot tub, and on-site dining, it’s a solid pick for fans heading to a show.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel scores big with music lovers thanks to its close proximity to downtown Louisville venues—no need for long rideshares or late-night treks. After the show, you'll appreciate the quiet riverside location, ideal for winding down. The 24-hour front desk and flexible check-out time of 12:00 are especially handy for late-night arrivals and lazy mornings. Plus, there’s a paid airport shuttle if you're flying in for a big event.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a base with space to chill post-show
• Solo travelers attending a bucket-list concert
• Couples making a weekend out of a performance
• Fans wanting a quieter, comfortable recovery spot after a high-energy night
• Budget-conscious music lovers seeking value without sacrificing location

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant serves both American and Mexican cuisine with vegetarian, dairy-free, and halal options available on request—perfect fuel before or after a gig. While there’s no full 24/7 room service, the shared lounge and nearby eateries across the river keep late-night cravings in check. Breakfast is available, making recovery that much easier after a late night.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself leans more chill than party, you're just a short drive or ride-share from Louisville’s buzzing nightlife—bars, lounges, and live music spots surround the downtown area. Afterward, retreat to the quiet riverside setting for some well-earned rest.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, spacious rooms and friendly staff. Reviews often mention how convenient it is for concert nights, with a great view of the river and easy access to the city via a quick bridge crossing. The indoor pool and hot tub also get high marks for post-show relaxation.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel is starting to feel a bit dated in places, and parking can be limited during busy weekends. Also, being just across the river means you’ll likely need a car or rideshare to get to venues—walking isn’t the most practical, especially late at night.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a relaxing, well-located hotel close to Louisville’s top concert venues, the Sheraton Louisville Riverside Hotel hits all the right notes.
