Mobile is located along Alabama's Gulf Coast.
Mobile is one of the largest cities in Alabama and is home to a thriving art and music scene, as well as an array of museums, event venues, restaurants and historic attractions. A handful of hotels are situated in the heart of downtown Mobile, offering easy access to all the city has to offer. These include one motel at 64 South Water Street, and three others just a few blocks away.
Renaissance Mobile Riverview Plaza
The Renaissance is a high-rise in the center of downtown Mobile and offers views of the Gulf Coast and the city. The hotel is connected by skywalk to the Mobile Arthur Outlaw Convention Center, and is next door to the Gulf Coast Exploreum Science Center, which features interactive exhibits and an IMAX theater. The nearby Museum of Mobile showcases the city's rich history. A number of shops and restaurants are on-site or within a couple of blocks, including The Harbor seafood restaurant, Heroes Sports Bar and Ruth's Chris Steak House.
