Marshall Hotels & Resorts, a leading hotel management and services company that operates properties nationwide, today announced the grand opening of the 63-room Hotel Indigo Birmingham Five Points S-UAB in Ala. The hotel completed a $5 million renovation to convert the property from the Hotel Highland Downtown, bringing it to "like-new" status.

Located in the Five Points South area, Birmingham's arts, entertainment and dining district, the hotel is central to such attractions as Birmingham Botanical Gardens, McWane Science Center and the Birmingham Civil Rights Museum. Guest rooms combine area culture and history, with such amenities as plush lounge chairs, 49" HDTVs, high-speed internet access and oversized work spaces. The hotel's 28 suites also include a relaxing sitting area with wet bar, Keurig coffee machine and mini-refrigerator in the living room. Additional hotel amenities include Aveda bath products, spa-like showers, fitness center, valet parking and luxury linens.

The hotel also features the Rx Lounge, a themed bar and restaurant that captures the building's medical arts origins. Guests can unwind with specialty cocktails and smoke infused whiskeys from a menu that features a number of "ale-ments, anti-oxidants and effervescents" that include numerous, local craft beers, wines and champagnes/proseccos. The Rx Lounge provides full breakfast, lunch and dinner menus, as well.
