The Spotlight on The Commonwealth

Stylish Suites in the Heart of Richmond

Modern with a local twist, The Commonwealth blends Richmond's artistic spirit with spacious comfort. Located directly across from the Virginia State Capitol, this all-suite hotel is a favorite for travelers looking to stay close to the city’s best music venues, museums, and nightlife. With bold art, photography, and locally inspired décor, the vibe here is both creative and welcoming.

Why Concert-goers love it

When you're in town for a show, location matters—and The Commonwealth delivers. Set in downtown Richmond, you're just a short walk or rideshare from popular concert halls and theaters. After a late night, enjoy the complimentary WiFi, sofa beds, and quiet rooms designed for relaxing post-show. Flexible check-in at 3:00 PM and a generous check-out time of 12:00 PM make your schedule easy, especially if you're catching a late-night gig.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends will love the spacious suites with sofa beds for crash space.
Solo travelers chasing that bucket-list concert will find a safe, central stay.
Couples can unwind in a stylish suite and make a weekend of it.
Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space will appreciate the peaceful atmosphere.
Budget-conscious music fans can save with in-room fridges and microwaves for DIY meals.

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel’s restaurant hours vary due to staffing, breakfast and dinner are available on select days—check ahead if you're planning on dining in. Each suite includes a Keurig® coffeemaker, microwave, and fridge with freezer, which is perfect for keeping snacks and drinks handy after a late show. You're also surrounded by downtown Richmond’s walkable dining scene, with several eateries and bars nearby.

Nightlife Options

You’re steps from Richmond’s buzzing entertainment district, with bars, lounges, and live music venues all within walking or short ride distance. While there's no on-site bar, the hotel’s central location means you’re never far from a good drink or a spontaneous post-show hangout.

What People Say

Guests love the huge, clean suites, the friendly staff, and the artsy, local feel of the hotel. Many reviewers mention how convenient it is for events downtown and praise the comfortable beds and quiet sleep environment—even in the heart of the city.

Areas for Improvement

The biggest downside? The restaurant isn’t always open, so if you're hoping for a guaranteed on-site meal, plan around that. Parking is available but comes with a fee, and some guests noted that the elevators can be a bit slow during peak times.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers looking for a stylish, spacious, and centrally located stay in downtown Richmond, The Commonwealth hits all the right notes.

Exceptional - 5.0 out of 5

Steven, Batav, visiting Dominion Energy Center Thu, 22 June 2023

We loved the suite. The rooms are spacious. The bed was extremely comfortable. The staff was polite. But the restaurant was sad. We were the only customers. The food was mediocre (I had pork chops that were dry and overcooked; my wife had a bland chicken pot pie). The house specialty drink was disappointing. It tasted like a soft drink with a splash of alcohol. All said, we’d definitely stay here again, but would avoid the restaurant.

Liked: Very spacious rooms and comfortable bed.
Disliked: The restaurant.

Jennifer, Monrovia, visiting The National Richmond

My daughter and I recently stayed at the Commonwealth Park Suites Hotel. We had a great time. The staff was wonderful and the room was very clean. We attended a concert at The National and liked that we were in walking distance to the venue. We also liked the historic nature of the hotel and the surrounding area. We will definitely stay there again!

Amy, Richmond

Great experience with this hotel. Super nice and friendly staff. Bed was large and comfortable. Heat was great, especially after walking in the cold streets of Downtown Richmond. The shower had plenty of hot water, in a nice, large bathroom!

Liked: Great location to everything!
Disliked: None :)

Pleasant - 3.0 out of 5

John D, Baltimore, MD

Our suite was large and well appointed. Unfortunately, there were several negatives : Air conditioning was inadequate for our unusually hot early June stay. Shower temperature could not be adjusted below medium hot. As I said it was an unusually hot June day and a cooler shower after being outdoors would have been appreciated. I felt the outside noise level was quite a bit higher than I've experienced in other city hotels. They need to invest in better soundproofing.

Liked: Location was good for our purposes.
Disliked: Poor HVAC and outside noise.
