Gig Time: Hotels with Rockin’ Music Venues

“Sometimes a lounge pianist tinkling the ivories in the hotel lobby just isn’t enough. That’s when you need a hotel that takes music seriously. Offering much more than a place to sleep, each of these hotels has its very own live music space – from glamorous jazz bars to buzzing basement clubs to full-blown concert halls. Check out these five hotels with rockin’ music venues.

The Curtain, London
————————

East London is a music mecca for many. If that’s true for you, you probably think of grungy pub venues and the essential stop-off that is Rough Trade East. But you’ll also find a great spot inside one of Shoreditch’s newest five-star hotels, The Curtain. Red Rooster, the hotel’s own soul food restaurant, doubles up as a live music venue and has become something of a hotspot for party-goers. One of its most popular events is the Sunday Gospel Brunch, while the rest of the week sees a varied line-up of R&B, reggae, jazz and soul shows. If you’re a member, you can access the underground club for more live music and secret gigs.

The Cosmopolitan, Las Vegas
——————————–

The Cosmopolitan has had some of the world’s biggest names grace its stages, from Adele to Jack White. A far cry from your usual gig venues, the hotel’s indoor event space, the Chelsea, combines old-world glamour with an industrial edge for more of a ‘proper gig’ experience than the typical Vegas nightclub show. Outside, the Boulevard Pool transforms into a huge stage overlooking the famous Las Vegas Strip. There’s also a selection of lounge bars and nightclubs within the complex, some of which host DJ sets and unplugged performances in the evening.

When it comes to live music, Dublin knows how it’s done. The Temple Bar Hotel is nestled in the heart of the city’s historic district, which is also party central. One of the area’s most popular haunts is the aptly named Buskers, which is on the ground floor of the hotel. If you’re after a party atmosphere, this is the place to be. Guests and locals can enjoy seven nights a week of sing-along anthems until the early hours, including traditional Irish bands, covers acts and DJs.

Jumeirah Zabeel Saray, Dubai
———————————

Hidden in the Jumeirah Zabeel Saray hotel is one of Dubai’s most special music venues. Designed to look like a theatre, the MusicHall venue is reminiscent of the 1950s rat pack era, with its lavish red and gold décor, velvet curtains and tiered table seating. While it does offer dinner shows, there’s a modern twist – every weekend you can catch live music from various bands and performers. From Middle Eastern to rock, jazz, gypsy, and everything in between, a huge variety of styles are represented here.
