The Spotlight on The Kenilworth

Relaxed Comfort Just Outside the City Buzz

Modern and peaceful, The Kenilworth is a non-smoking hotel located in the charming town of Kenilworth, New Jersey. Just a short drive from both Newark International Airport and the non-stop energy of New York City, this hotel is perfect for concert-goers who want easy access to shows without sacrificing a good night’s sleep. With a cozy small-town vibe and modern amenities like high-speed internet, it strikes the right balance between convenience and comfort.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a favorite for music fans who want to be near the action but not right in the middle of it. It's just close enough to New York City to make getting to a concert easy, but far enough to offer peace and quiet after the encore. With quick access to major highways and Newark Airport, late-night arrivals or departures are stress-free. While check-in starts at 3:00 PM and checkout is by 11:00 AM, the friendly staff is known for being flexible when possible.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading to a big show
  • Solo travelers ticking off a bucket-list concert
  • Couples planning a music-filled weekend getaway
  • Fans who prefer a quiet spot to recharge after the show
  • Budget-conscious travelers looking for value near NYC

Food and Drink Options

While The Kenilworth doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, it’s surrounded by local eateries within walking distance—perfect for a late bite after the show. Grab breakfast nearby the next morning, or use food delivery services which are widely available in the area. There's no 24/7 room service, but a well-stocked pantry and nearby dining spots fill the gap.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself is more about relaxation than revelry, you're just a short ride from the bars and lounges of downtown Newark or Manhattan. Whether you're looking for a nightcap, live music, or a rooftop vibe, it’s all within reach.

What People Say

Guests love The Kenilworth for its clean, quiet rooms and friendly service. Many mention how easy it is to get to concerts in NYC or Newark while still enjoying a calm, suburban setting. The hotel’s proximity to the airport makes it a go-to for travelers flying in for a show.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests wish there were more on-site amenities, like a full restaurant or bar. And while the location is peaceful, it means relying on a car or rideshare to get to nightlife or venues. Still, most agree the trade-off is worth it for the quiet and value.

The Bottom Line

The Kenilworth is a smart pick for concert-goers who want close access to NYC shows without the chaos of staying downtown.

Very good

Liked: The room was spacious, clean, staff were friendly. Food in restaurant was average. Have not been able to get a receipt for my stay though as unusually The Kenilworth say I must obtain from Booking.com and Booking.com say obtain from the hotel.

Wonderful - 4.5 out of 5

Superb

Liked: No complaints on our stay here!!!. The 2 front desk staff members we dealt with were both extremely friendly, attentive, and helpful. The lobby was spacious. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the AC worked great, and the water was nice and hot. The hotel was generally quiet and paid for a Lyft since that day shuttle was out of service, the hotel offers also a complimentary hot breakfast with coffee, scrambled eggs, bread, sausages, and juices, not too much variety but was hot and clean. Kenilworth Hotel is an old one, but the renovations give such a classy feel with affordable rates and convenient locations close to Newark International Airport and not too far from the Cape Liberty Cruise Port and a supermarket just across the street is a plus.
Disliked: I have no negative thoughts to say about my stay.
