We selected to stay at the Painted Lady as we needed a place in Birmingham for a wedding weekend. The unit was clean and had the essentials we needed. The owner and employees were very friendly and welcoming!! It was raining sideways when we had to leave, and I was dressed up and didn't have an umbrella. The owner, grabbed his umbrella and assisted me out to the car!! That's going above and beyond service right there! Not to mention, they had an office dog (head of security), Sub. He was the sweetest! Would stay here again if we needed to :)

Beautiful property, but some practical drawbacks

The restoration of this historic building was beautifully done. We enjoyed our stay, but I wanted to provide detailed feedback due to some quirks and booking-site misinformation. A café was listed but doesn’t exist. There is a tea/coffee area (no decaf, and water from a small, unfiltered kitchen sink). We expected café seating for work, but that wasn’t the case, and the room was too small to work comfortably (unless in bed). Only one shared mini-fridge was available, which we opted not to use. Our king room, though stylish, was much smaller than expected—really suited for one person. Minimal storage: one luggage rack, a small hanging bar, and no dresser. For two people, it felt cramped. The bathroom looked nice but wasn’t functional—no shower shelf or seat, awkward toilet paper placement, and nowhere to prop a leg while bathing. The bed and especially the pillows were uncomfortable—flat and unsupportive. We couldn’t control the thermostat, and the room was uncomfortably warm at night. The staff was exceptional—friendly and helpful throughout. Parking was easy (street only), though the booking site inaccurately mentioned off-street parking. The location was convenient to restaurants and bars. Note: no elevator, though this was well disclosed!! I overheard guests chatting about this, but felt the hotel did more than enough to ensure guests were aware. We likely wouldn’t return due to the room size and lack of amenities, but the property itself is stunning and very clean!

Nice quiet hotel

We loved this hotel. It was quaint and comfortable. The shower was amazing. The only thing I wish it would’ve had is a mini fridge to keep drinks in and maybe a coffee maker. But otherwise it was perfect.

What a charming and interesting, historical building. Miro at the front desk was friendly and helpful with assisting us with our stay, dinner plans and a lovely park, Vulcan Park, with history and a wonderful view.

Wonderful service

While I was in town for work, a severe thunderstorm caused a leak in the ceiling of my room. Ashley and the front desk attendant were beyond helpful and understanding and quickly helped me move to a new room.

LOVED it!

We LOVED the Painted Lady. Our concierge and his pup “Sub” were the highlight of our stay in Birmingham. The room and bed were so cozy, it was hard to want to leave. They took such great care of us and we loved the history of the building. Will recommend to anyone we know who is coming thru the area.
