Built in 1852, Battle House Renaissance Mobile Hotel & Spa dominated the social scene of Mobile for over 100 years until its closure in the mid-1970s. In 2007, this elegant hotel reopened in grand style to a welcoming public, and two years later, it was named in the "Top 500 Hotels in the World" by Travel + Leisure. It is a AAA Four Diamond holiday destination and one of National Geographic Traveler’s "Top Places to Stay in North America." Throughout its history, Battle House has served as a gathering place for high society and a stopover for American luminaries and statesmen. A trip to the Gulf Coast will be complete only with a night at Battle House on the itinerary.
