John Hand Club Hotel 17 20th Street North, Birmingham, AL 35203

"We stayed here a couple nights ago and it was fabulous. The hotel is in an iconic building, very nostalgic. Greeted my Mr. Carlton who was very courteous and showed us great hospitality. The ambiance on the room floor and the rooms are exquisite. Room was very clean and very unique and comfortable. A small lobby in the hall with comfortable chairs and tv. A break room with all the drinks, coffee, snacks you want complimentary. Next morning a very nice upscale continental breakfast was in the break room. They made it one of the most enjoyable stays we’ve ever experienced."

"This hotel is so unique and high class. It offers a premium hotel experience for a fraction of the cost of other similar hotels in downtown Birmingham. I was shopping for a suite to stay in downtown and was looking at rooms over $1000 a night. I found John Hand via recommendation from a friend and was not disappointed. I would stay here over anything else offered downtown. Such a beautiful space with great food and coffee options right down the road within walking distance."

"BEWARE! Do not parking in the lot next to this hotel. We were assured by security at the front desk on how to handle parking, but after the fact received a surprise $60 bill from the company that handles parking for the deck. The room overall was great but the surprise fee was enough that we won't stay again."

"A very luxurious hotel, the room is awesome! Room was clean and bed was comfy. Although some reviews commented about the noise issue, I was lucky enough that I didn’t experience it at all. Simple complementary breakfast (but tasty and healthy) was provided. I enjoyed it every day of my stay. Definitely will stay in this hotel again."

"My wife and I stayed here, and could not recommend it enough as a hidden gem in Birmingham. There are six suites, each designed thoughtfully and with a flair of Birmingham history. It’s a great mix of modern comfort in a historic building, with spacious bathrooms and comfortable beds. It’s also extremely quiet. I believe all the rooms were booked when we were there, but I only saw one guest in the common areas once. The kitchenette in the common area is nice, and we also enjoyed making drinks and going out to the common balcony to see the view of Vulcan. The management was super friendly and helpful too! Just the epitome of hospitality."
