Built in 1914, The Tutwiler was one of the grandest hotels in the South. If the walls could talk what tales they would tell about guests like Charles Lindbergh and bashes like Tallulah Bankhead’s post wedding reception. You can trace the intriguing history of the Magic City and the hotel in the historic Photo Gallery. Over the years the hotel has undergone many changes including a recent $9.2 million renovation completed in April 2007. From exterior and courtyard beautification to complete refurbishing of every guestroom, adding new suites, a state-of-the-art fitness center, business center and signature restaurant, The Tutwiler retains its former grandeur and charm complemented by the latest in modern amenities and comforts. Located just 10 minutes from the airport in the center of the thriving Birmingham financial, entertainment and cultural centers, it is a convenient walk to the Convention Center Complex, leading corporate headquarters, Birmingham Museum of Art and Civil Rights Institute. Recently affiliated with the Hilton Hotel/Hampton Inn family, The Tutwiler is recognized as a member of the prestigious Historic Hotels of America.
