Hilton Hotels & Resorts Returns to the Heart of Birmingham, AL
Last week, dignitaries from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, the City of Birmingham and Hilton Hotels & Resorts gathered for the grand opening of Hilton Birmingham at UAB, the university's flagship hotel on campus.
Following a multimillion-dollar renovation, representatives from UAB and Hilton welcomed members of the community to observe the hotel's collaborative transformation into a property that reflects UAB in both subtle and significant ways. The grand opening activities included property tours and a ribbon cutting, with appearances by members of the UAB Spirit Program and Pep Band.
Formerly the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Birmingham, the property was purchased by the UAB Education Foundation in November of 2016. The hotel's renovations began in March 2018, with a comprehensive design and refurbishment plan culminating in a top-to-bottom transformation of the hotel.
