“This hotel stands out for blending historic architecture with contemporary luxury in downtown Birmingham. Its rooftop bar, Moon Shine, is a destination itself, while the dining at The Yard impresses with its artisan breakfast and curated dinner options. I think its location is ideal, being near the Heaviest Corner on Earth, and I like the dog-friendly policy.”
