The Spotlight on The Blake Hotel

Upscale Comfort Steps from New Haven's Music Scene

Modern, elegant, and effortlessly cool, The Blake Hotel brings boutique luxury to the heart of downtown New Haven. Just a short walk from Yale University and top concert spots, this design-forward hotel blends sleek style with warm hospitality. With an on-site restaurant, rooftop bar, and plush rooms, it's an ideal base for music fans coming to town for a show.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and The Blake delivers—just a 9-minute stroll to City Hall and a mile to Yale University venues. The area is walkable and safe, making post-show returns easy even late at night. While the hotel is in a lively area, the rooms are known for being peaceful and soundproofed, offering a quiet retreat after a high-energy night. Check-in starts at 4:00 PM and checkout is at 11:00 AM, but the friendly multilingual staff are happy to help with local tips and flexible arrangements when possible.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a stylish base near the action
  • Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime gig
  • Couples making a romantic weekend out of a concert
  • Fans who want a serene, upscale space to unwind post-show
  • Budget-conscious fans willing to splurge a little for 4-star comfort

Food and Drink Options

Craving a bite after the encore? The Blake’s on-site restaurant and rooftop bar have you covered. The lobby snack bar is perfect for quick late-night grabs, and breakfast is available for those who need a slow start after a big night. While 24/7 room service isn't listed, the on-site dining and walkable food scene nearby offer plenty of delicious options.

Nightlife Options

Whether you want to keep the night going or wind down, the rooftop bar provides a chic setting with drinks and city views. You're also just steps away from downtown New Haven’s buzzing nightlife, including cozy lounges and local bars where the music keeps playing long after the concert ends.

What People Say

Guests rave about the modern decor, friendly staff, and spotless rooms. The rooftop bar is a particular favorite, with many praising the views and cocktails. Reviewers also highlight the hotel’s walkability and close proximity to Yale and downtown venues as a big plus for concert-goers.

Areas for Improvement

Parking is available but not included in the room rate, which might be a small downside for drivers. Some guests mentioned that while the rooftop bar is a highlight, it can get busy—so plan ahead if you want a spot with a view.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to New Haven for a concert, The Blake Hotel is a sleek, stylish launchpad that puts you near the music—and gives you a restful, upscale place to recharge after the show.

Great location for a quick...

Liked: The room was spacious. It was clean enough for a hotel (I do my own additional cleaning. The towels looked clean enough, but I brought my own. My favorite part was the kitchen with a microwave, stove, and even dishwasher!!! That means you could totally bring your own food. However, there is a bar/restaurant downstairs. There are MANY local restaurants and things to do nearby if you want. Quite a bit is within walking distance. For a city, it wasn't too crowded or loud outside.
Disliked: I absolutely hate barn doors because they don't lock or close completely. Be prepared for that with the bathroom of all places. The artwork downstairs is hideous, but that's not important. I didn't like having to ask after attempting to check in, if the room was ready. They should've been looking for me to tell me the room was ready.

Nice hotel close to campus

Liked: Our experience overall was positive. Front Desk Supervisor Aisha Bello was helpful and answered my emailed questions quickly. She also helped us check in and took care of everything we needed. The hotel offered secure storage for our bicycles, which we appreciated. Our room was quiet and had a nice view toward campus. The hotel is a few blocks from some good restaurants and the Yale University Art Gallery and Center for British Art.
Disliked: Our main issue was with passenger and luggage drop-off at the entrance to the hotel. We had bikes on the back of our car which we wanted to unload, and the valet parking area is very congested. The staff tried to help us, but it was stressful not having enough space and then having to back out into the street. If possible, I suggest that the hotel set aside more space for unloading and less for parking. It's an awkward situation that makes checking in and out difficult. Also valet parking at the hotel is expensive. There’s a cheaper multi-story parking lot a block or two away at 231 Crown Street (less than half the price of valet parking).
