Why Concert-goers love it

If you're in town for a show at Rupp Arena or catching a campus concert at the University of Kentucky, you're in luck—both are within a 10-minute drive.

And yes, it’s great for budget-conscious travelers who don’t want to compromise on quality.

Food and Drink Options

Start your day right with a free hot breakfast, even if you were out late the night before. While there’s no on-site restaurant for dinner, guests enjoy a light evening meal every Monday through Wednesday—perfect if you’re staying mid-week for a show. Plus, the in-room kitchenettes and nearby dining spots make it easy to fuel up before or after your concert.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about comfort than cocktails, you’re a short drive from downtown Lexington’s live music bars, cozy lounges, and craft beer hangouts. Whether you’re in the mood for a chill drink or an after-party, options are close by.

What People Say

Guests rave about the clean, spacious rooms, friendly staff, and quiet surroundings. Many love the free breakfast and the convenience of the in-room kitchens. The location gets high marks for being close to both concert venues and Lexington’s major attractions without the downtown hassle.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the property feels more suited to extended stays than short visits, and the lack of a full-service restaurant may be a downside if you're arriving hungry post-show. A car is helpful, as walkable nightlife is limited.

The Bottom Line

Staybridge Suites Lexington By IHG is a top pick for concert-goers seeking a quiet, comfortable stay with easy access to Lexington’s music venues.
