A night at the theater is more than just a show. It’s dinner before curtain, the excitement of the performance, maybe a drink afterward, and if you plan it right, no need to rush home when they take their final bow.
For theater lovers who enjoy making a full night of it, hotels like The Royal Sonesta Minneapolis Downtown, The Allegro Royal Sonesta Hotel, Royal Sonesta Harbor Court Baltimore, Royal Sonesta Portland Downtown, and The Clift Royal Sonesta San Francisco offer an easy way to extend the evening.
The goal is to find a hotel that puts you close to the city’s vibrant theater and entertainment scene while giving you a comfortable place to unwind when the curtain falls.
Here’s why a night at the theater pairs perfectly with a Royal Sonesta hotel stay:
Theater has always had its Royal tie-in. Kings and queens have graced the stage, leading ladies have stolen the spotlight, and stars have taken their final bows to standing ovations. When your own night at the theater comes to a close, embrace the Royal extension by staying at a Royal Sonesta. You’ll love the Royal nods throughout the hotel.
Dress up your entire evening. A night at the theater is a special occasion – getting dressed up, enjoying dinner, and settling into your theater seat. Begin your evening and return to a hotel that feels like an extension of the night.
Set it and Forget it Parking. With convenient parking at the hotel, you can park once and enjoy your evening without worrying about moving your car from dinner to the theater to your hotel. After the show, your room is waiting nearby. (One-time Parking fees at the hotel may apply.)
Take your Time. One of the best things about staying at a hotel before and after a show is that you don’t have to treat your theater tickets as the beginning and end of your evening. Arrive early and enjoy dinner, linger over a nightcap or take a leisurely walk through downtown. You don’t have anywhere else to be afterward.
Easy High-end Dining. For many theatergoers, dinner before a show is practically part of the performance. Maybe you have your favorite downtown restaurant & you’ve been ordering the same dish for years. Alternatively, you might like to try new things – and maybe, discovering a new restaurant is part of the fun. If that’s the case, our Royal Sonesta hotels have delectable dining and cocktails right on-site.
You can skip the post-show drive. Leaving a theater after a great performance & not having to end the night is such a freeing feeling. No worries of navigating traffic and making the drive home late at night. Just make a night of it and stay nearby at a royally luxurious hotel.
A Royal Wake-Up. The perks of staying overnight don’t end when you fall asleep.
Wake up in the heart of the city and enjoy a relaxed morning before heading home. Grab breakfast, take your time getting ready or explore a little more of downtown before checking out.
