LODGING

Mountain Brook is a small residential community with only one hotel within its city limits: The Hampton Inn Express, conveniently located in Mountain Brook Plaza, with direct access to Highway 280 South.  Other convenient hotels within a 15 minute mile radius that we can recommend  follow the description of Mountain Brook's hotel.

The Hampton Inn Express, Mountain Brook

The only hotel located within the city limits of Mountain Brook, this hotel is located in a safe and secure shopping area which features fast food, as well as other shopping conveniences and direct access to Highway 280.  A short walk brings you to the historic village of Mountain Brook and the Jemison Trail, a wooded trail that follows the banks of a creek. A downloadable pdf map of the trail system is available under Tourism Information.   A complete directory of the amenities in Mountain Brook Village can be found by clicking here.

The Embassy Suites, Homewood

Featuring the popular Ruth Chris restaurant, an indoor pool, and a lush jungle-like indoor courtyard, this is a favorite among families, both for its convenience, and its amenities, all under one roof.  Quick access to Homewood and Mountain Brook as well as Highway 280 along with its comparatively large size and number of rooms makes it a good choice for large wedding parties, reunions, and other events requiring coordination of large groups.

Courtyard by Marriott, Homewood

Located across a busy highway from some of the best shopping in the area at Colonial Brookwood Village, this is a good choice for  shoppers.  Near Samford University's campus, it's a short drive to the Summit shopping center, the Colonnade shopping center, and it has easy access to the Galleria, the area's largest enclosed shopping center.  The Courtyard features privacy on a hilltop but is a short walk to a trail system along Lakeshore Parkway.

The Hotel Highland, Southside, Birmingham

If you prefer to be in 'the heart of things' within walking distance of the celebrated award-winning Highland Bar & Grill restaurant among the many restaurants in the area, you may want to consider the urban Hotel Highland.  It's surrounded by bustling city life, close to the University of Alabama Medical Center, and located in the heart of the city's diverse Southside area. 

The Tutwiler Hotel, Downtown Birmingham

Need to stay downtown for business?  The historic Tutwiler Hotel is in the heart of the downtown business district, one city block from the YWCA, the Birmingham Library, Linn Park, the Jefferson County Courthouse, and the office towers which create the skyline of downtown Birmingham.  Recently renovated, this hotel is now a part of the Hampton Inn & Suites.

The Renaissance Ross Bridge Resort

A Marriott property, this unique Birmingham, AL resort is secluded from everyday cares, yet within fifteen minutes of the city.  The Renaissance Ross Bridge Golf Resort and Spa in Birmingham embodies comfortable sophistication. The plush guest rooms at this Birmingham, Alabama resort - one of the finest hotels in Birmingham - include balconies overlooking stunning grounds and a signature pool featuring enchanting waterfalls and fountains. Boasting the third longest golf course in the world, this travel resort in Birmingham features a Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail course highlighted by sweeping majestic views of the surrounding foothills.
