This historic, beautiful and delightful hotel is located on Royal Street in Mobile, Alabama and is definitely a gem in the Gulf Shores of Alabama.

This southern gem was originally built in 1852 and enjoyed years of success before closing in the mid-70s for a well planned and long deserved renovation.

The Battle House is due to reopen in the summer of 2007 following an elaborate and costly renovation.

The whispers are plentiful and many are waiting with baited breath to see the luscious overhaul of this magnificent resort.

The plan for the renovations focused on opulence and decadence all along. Sparing no expense, The Battle House has gained national attention with its prime location near the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, as well as its well appointed 30 suites and over 200 other guests rooms. Another special perk is that upon re-opening the 8-story Battle House will be a non-smoking resort.

When it reopens the doors, the Battle House looks to have more than 200 exquisite guest rooms as well as a brand new spa for even more opportunities for you to be spoiled rotten. Owners indicate they intend to focus on those travelers looking for a luxurious vacation. These travelers will not be disappointed.

The Battle House has also been redesigned to capture the hearts of the business travelers as well. Particularly for those who travel frequently, the Battle House gives them a chance to get their business done and relax a bit too. Seems if you are personally taken care of, then you have a better shot at taking exceptional care of your business clients.

Another positive thing about the newly remodeled resort is that it can now accommodate large business meetings. Boasting 12 meeting rooms and over 26,000 square feet of meeting space, business customers are sure to enjoy the attention to detail and care for the business client. The historic setting allows you not only to get business taken care of but to do so in a decadent style.

The attention to detail is one of the recurring themes of this resort. The nightly turn down service, the complimentary coffee and tea located in each room and the morning newspaper found at your doorstep are just a few simple examples of the quiet customer service that is standard at the Battle House.

If you are hungry or just looking for a cocktail, be sure to check out one of the fabulous dining establishments on site. If you are looking for a bit of nightly entertainment or a yummy cocktail at the end of a long day, visit the Royal Street Lounge. A trip to the magnificent Trellis Room will allow you to indulge in a scrumptious feast of Italian fare. The Joe Cain Caf, is only open for breakfast and lunch but it is a sure bet for gourmet coffees, pastries and tiny little sandwiches.

No worries, if you are looking to get away from the resort for a bit, although one couldn’t imagine why, there are plenty of other recreational activities within just minutes of the resort.

If you are looking for a vacation along the Gulf Shores of Alabama or if you have a business trip taking you into the Mobile area, do yourself a favor and book a stay at the enduring and glorious Battle House, one of the great southern gems.
