By The Greensboro Coliseum Complex, now home to the First Horizon Coliseum, is one of the busiest event venues in the Southeast, hosting more than 1,100 events a year, from ACC basketball tournaments and arena concerts to ice shows, trade fairs, and the Wyndham Championship crowds. Whether you are in town for a sold-out show or a weekend tournament, the smartest move is to stay close: most of the best hotels sit within a mile or two along West Gate City Boulevard, so you can skip the post-event traffic and walk or take a quick ride back to your room. Here are the most convenient, comfortable, and reliably bookable hotels near the Coliseum.
Getting Oriented: The Coliseum and Its Hotel Corridor
The Greensboro Complex sits at 1921 West Gate City Boulevard, Greensboro, NC 27403 (phone 336-373-7400), just off Interstate 40 and minutes from Piedmont Triad International Airport. The complex offers more than 6,000 on-site parking spaces, with event parking generally running from $5 to $30. Note that parking is cashless and cannot be pre-paid: you pay on arrival, and lots open at least 60 minutes before showtime. Because parking fills fast for major events, staying at a nearby hotel and walking or grabbing a short rideshare is often easier than driving and circling for a space.
Nearly all the convenient hotels cluster along West Gate City Boulevard (formerly High Point Road) and the adjacent Four Seasons Town Centre area. This corridor puts you within a mile or two of the arena and surrounds you with restaurants, shopping, and quick highway access.

Closest Hotels to the Coliseum
Holiday Inn Greensboro Coliseum by IHG
If proximity is your top priority, the Holiday Inn is widely regarded as the closest full-service hotel to the arena, roughly one mile away and an easy walk for many guests. It is a dependable mid-tier pick with an on-site restaurant, indoor pool, and fitness center, plus quick access to I-40 and about 15 minutes from the airport. For concertgoers and tournament travelers who want to drop the car and forget about it, this is the practical default.

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Greensboro
About a mile west of the Coliseum, the DoubleTree is another full-service standby, set right off I-40 and within walking distance of Four Seasons Town Centre and a long list of restaurants. Expect the chain’s signature warm welcome (yes, the cookie), an on-site restaurant and bar, a fitness center, and meeting space that makes it a frequent home base for groups attending events at the complex. It is a solid step up in amenities while keeping you firmly inside the Coliseum corridor.

Best for Groups, Conventions, and Big Events
Sheraton Greensboro at Four Seasons (Koury Convention Center)
The Sheraton is the heavyweight of the corridor, an expansive full-service property with roughly 985 rooms attached to the Joseph S. Koury Convention Center. At about 1.8 miles from the Coliseum and adjacent to Four Seasons Town Centre, it is the natural choice when a conference, sporting event, or large group books out the venue next door. On-site you will find the restaurant Joseph’s, an indoor and outdoor pool, a fitness center, and acres of meeting space. If your event is actually being held at Koury, you may not need to leave the building at all.

The kitchens make it especially handy for athletes’ families and longer stays, and the front desk welcomes walk-ins around the clock.

It is a reliable pick for a single-night concert run or a weekend game, with the usual Wingate conveniences and the same easy access to West Gate City Boulevard restaurants and I-40.

How to Choose the Right Hotel
With this many options packed into a short stretch of road, picking the right one comes down to your trip:
- Walking to the arena: The Holiday Inn and DoubleTree are the closest and most walkable for show nights.
- Conventions and large groups: The Sheraton at Four Seasons, attached to the Koury Convention Center, is hard to beat when your event is next door.
- Families and multi-night stays: TownePlace Suites and its in-room kitchens make longer trips and travel-team weekends far easier.
- Stretching your budget: The Wingate by Wyndham keeps you in the corridor at a friendlier price point.
Whichever you choose, you will be close to more than just the Coliseum. Four Seasons Town Centre puts shopping and dining within walking distance of most of these hotels, and downtown Greensboro, with its breweries, restaurants, and the LeBauer Park green space, is only about ten minutes up the road.

Planning tip: For popular concerts and ACC tournament weekends, hotel rooms in this corridor sell out and rates climb, so book as soon as your event dates are confirmed.
