Where to stay in Branson

1. Radisson Hotel Branson

The Radisson Hotel Branson is one of the best places to stay in Branson and my personal favorite. I recommend one of the suites.

The suites have low ceilings (unless you choose a Presidential Suite) but they are very affordable and offer a lot of room. 

The Radisson hotel also offers meeting rooms great for business or family reunions. It does offer an on-site restaurant and bar. The pool is tiny, but it is indoor/outdoor and heated. 

2. Chateau on the Lake Resort Spa and Convention Center

If you’re looking for a more upscale experience, celebrating a honeymoon or anniversary, or just looking to get away from the crowds, the Chateau is a great option.

The Chateau on the Lake offers a full-service spa, two restaurants, marina access, and two pools. 

The Chateau on the Lake offers easy access to Table Rock Lake State Park, the Showboat Branson Belle, and Silver Dollar City. 

3. Branson Hilton Convention Center

The Branson Hilton Convention Center is one of the best hotels in Branson and one of the most popular. The convention center, convenient access to The Landing, and familiarity with the Hilton brand make the Branson Hilton a great choice.

Again, I recommend a suite if you’re looking for more room. The suites at the Branson Hilton are more substantial and more modern (and more expensive) than the suites at the Radisson. 

4. La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Branson – Hollister

The relatively new La Quinta Inn and Suites is a pet-friendly hotel located in Hollister.

I added it to the list of the best hotels in Branson after hearing great reviews from some of my photography clients who stayed there. 

If you’re looking for the best hotel in Branson for pets, this is it!

5. Grand Plaza Hotel Branson

While the Grand Plaza Hotel is a bit dated, it does offer an affordable stay at a very convenient location. Breakfast is included and is decent for a free breakfast.

The best part about breakfast is that it takes place in the restaurant on the top floor. 

The Grand Plaza offers a good-sized pool, and meeting rooms. I recommend booking or upgrading to a room with a jacuzzi tub.

The 2-bedroom suites are an excellent size for families, especially if you have more than two children or just need a bit more space. 

6. Grand Country Waterpark Resort

The Grand Country Waterpark Resort is arguably the best place to stay in Branson with kids. This waterpark resort also offers mini-golf, an arcade, laser tag, go-karts, and more.

It’s a kid’s dream and conveniently located right on Highway 76 close to shows, shopping, and more. 

7. Welk Resort Branson

The Welk Resort Branson is popular among my photography clients and is one of the best hotels in Branson. It is a very family-friendly property that offers two pools and a waterpark.

The Welk Resort is located near the Welk Theater and is just far enough from Highway 76 to feel quieter while still being close to the action. 

8. Castle Rock Resort and Waterpark

A less expensive option than Grand Country Resort, Castle Rock Resort is another waterpark resort in the heart of Branson. It’s a fascinating resort with uniquely-themed rooms.

While the hotel/resort itself is quirky, the waterpark is a lot of fun for kids and much less expensive than the Grand Country.

If you’re looking for an inexpensive resort that offers something fun for kids, Castle Rock is a great option. 

9. Holiday Inn Express Branson 76

If you need a simple, clean place to stay in the heart of Branson, the Holiday Inn Express is a great choice. It’s precisely what you’d expect from a Holiday Inn Express, and located near “The Strip” or Highway 76. 

10. Big Cedar Lodge

If you’re looking for a 4.5-star luxury lodge that has just about everything you’ll need, Big Cedar might be a great choice.

Big Cedar Lodge offers four pools, eight restaurants, and 6 bars. It also provides a full-service spa, golf, plenty of family activities.

Big Cedar Lodge is also one of the most popular wedding venues in Branson. Although Big Cedar has quite the county feel, it is one of the best places to stay in Branson.
