Fodor's Expert Review The Battle House Renaissance Mobile Hotel and Spa

26 N. Royal St., Mobile, Alabama, 36602, USA

Dating from 1852, the Battle House, which has a traditional, ornate lobby and modern, albeit traditionally styled rooms, has been where the rich and famous stay in Mobile. The lobby's blend of ornate arches; domed skylight; and red, white, and blue furniture signal patriotic elegance. The 10,000-square-foot spa hosts a full salon, eight treatment rooms, and a fire pit in the calming Quiet Room. On-site services include a barber shop–hair salon, shoeshine stand, and valet dry cleaning. Three restaurants (one formal, one casual, one trendy) are on the premises.

PROS

  • gorgeous lobby
  • fairly large rooms
  • cruise parking packages available (though limited)

CONS

  • expensive breakfast buffet
  • expensive valet parking the only option
  • late 4pm check-in
