Modern Comfort in the Heart of Lawrence

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Lawrence Downtown is a stylish, contemporary hotel set right in the heart of Lawrence. Nestled along the scenic Riverfront Plaza, this 3-star property offers a laid-back yet polished vibe, with easy access to local music venues and the vibrant cultural scene of downtown.
With free WiFi, a sleek indoor pool, and a hot tub perfect for post-show relaxation, it’s a great home base for concert-goers looking to mix music with comfort. You’ll also find a fitness center and a 24-hour front desk to keep your plans flexible.

Why Concert-goers love it

Music fans appreciate the hotel’s central location—just over a mile from Kansas Memorial Stadium and within easy reach of other local venues. The downtown setting means you’re close to bars, cafes, and transportation options, while the hotel itself remains quiet enough for a solid night’s sleep. The 12:00 PM checkout is a lifesaver after a late night, and the front desk is open 24/7 for any last-minute needs.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends heading to a gig and wanting space to chill pre- or post-show
• Solo travelers catching a bucket-list performance
• Couples turning a concert into a weekend getaway
• Music fans who want a quieter place to unwind after the encore
• Budget-conscious travelers who still want style, comfort, and location

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, downtown Lawrence’s dining scene is just steps away—from late-night bites to craft coffee shops. The hotel offers a complimentary breakfast, which hits the spot after a night of music. Room service isn’t available, but nearby eateries are open late and easy to reach.

Nightlife Options

SpringHill Suites puts you within walking distance of Lawrence’s lively nightlife, including bars, lounges, and live music spots. After the show, you won’t have to go far to keep the night going—or to call it a night at the cozy hotel. While there’s no bar on-site, the surrounding area more than makes up for it with plenty of options.
