The Redmont Hotel Birmingham, a member of Hilton's Curio Collection, stands as Alabama's oldest continuously operating hotel, originally opened in 1925 on Fifth Avenue North in the heart of downtown Birmingham. The 17-story Italian Renaissance-inspired building is a designated historic landmark; its ornate lobby plasterwork, period architectural details, and grand street presence have been carefully preserved and restored through a comprehensive renovation that integrated modern amenities without compromising the century-old character of the structure.
Guest accommodations span Classic Rooms, Deluxe Rooms, and Suites distributed across the upper floors, blending period-appropriate décor — herringbone hardwood floors, crown molding, and vintage-inspired fixtures — with contemporary comforts including smart televisions, premium bath products, and high-speed internet. Upper-floor rooms and suites offer elevated views across the Birmingham skyline and the adjacent Red Mountain ridge.
The hotel's culinary and social scene is anchored by Harvest, the on-site restaurant focusing on locally sourced Alabama ingredients in Southern preparations. The Redmont's rooftop bar is one of Birmingham's most popular open-air social venues, offering sweeping views of downtown and the surrounding hills and drawing a lively crowd of both hotel guests and local residents on warm evenings. A lobby café and ground-level bar round out the property's food and beverage offerings.
The Fifth Avenue North location places the Redmont within walking distance of the Birmingham Museum of Art, Linn Park, the Jefferson County Courthouse, and a variety of downtown dining and entertainment. The BJCC convention complex and the Uptown Entertainment District are a short walk or rideshare away. As a Hilton Curio Collection property, the Redmont participates in the Hilton Honors rewards program. Nightly rates run from approximately $120 to $220, making it one of downtown Birmingham's most compelling boutique lodging values.
