Don't overlook this GEM. Really cool hotel in a historic building. Only 7 rooms available tucked away on the 7th floor. Spacious, clean, and shower pressure in the bomb. 5-7 minute walks to a great array of restaurants. Will be back next time in town.

Best hotel in Birmingham in my opinion. There are only about a half dozen rooms so it's very quiet. The rooms are great, with plenty of space. The common area with the kitchen and indoor and outdoor sitting areas is very nice, and again, due to the small size it's always quiet. The location is also incredible, as your within walking distance to multiple nice restaurants, and anything beyond that is a quick Uber/Lyft. My wife and I have stayed multiple times, and will definitely be back again in the future.

Fabulous

7 units on 1 floor of the building. First class operation. Heavy Suite was large, comfortable and clean. Free parking (next door) is easy & secure. Appears to be recent remodel. Angie at front desk was wonderful. Great location with good dining in walking distance. Felt safe walking in the area. Absolutely 100% satisfied with experience.

Can't say enough good things

I'm inclined to try and keep this place a secret so it's available still and at a reasonable price next time we are in Birmingham but this little gem deserves the good review. There was not much information online about this "hotel" but the photos and reviews I did find gave me enough confidence to book and boy was it worth it. This hotel is actually just seven (I believe) suites located on one floor of the historic John Hand building. We stayed in the Cobblestone suite which I felt had the best set up and was the only room with access to the shared balcony (shared from the common area) Upon arrival and checking in you'll be given key card access to the elevators to the 7th floor. The common area and hotel floor is stunning. Marble floors and high end lights and fixtures. There is a small kitchen area with snacks and coffee. There was a mini fridge where we kept our leftover pizza after dinner. The rooms were all booked for the evening but we only saw one other couple. There was no noise inside the hotel and very little road noise in the Cobblestone room. The other rooms might have more noise as they are on the main street. Guests of the hotel have access to the rooftop lounge and bar which made for a nice time before heading out to our Valentines dinner and concert. Parking was easy.
