Mobile's Battle House Hotel
Wins Best New Renaissance Hotel
The Resort Collection on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail is beginning to receive as many accolades as the famed golf trail. Often cited as the “World’s Best Public Golf,” the golfing experience on Alabama’s Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail has been taken to a higher level with the addition of eight luxury hotels and resorts. All owned by the Retirement Systems of Alabama, the Alabama hotels have taken Marriott International by storm.
At the recent Marriott International Awards in Miami Beach, the RTJ Golf Trail Resort Collection received the Food and Beverage Excellence Award. The RTJ Resort Collection also won Service Excellence Awards for both the Marriott and Renaissance brands. The hotels were competing with the 345 Marriott hotels in North America and 71 Renaissance hotels globally.
The Battle House Hotel in Mobile, Alabama, won Best New Hotel and Opening of the Year for Renaissance Hotels. Originally built in 1852, The Battle House reopened in May 2007 after a massive renovation. Battle House also recently won the Mobile Press-Register’s 2007 Readers Choice Award. The Grand Hotel Marriott Resort, Golf Club & Spa and Riverview Plaza, both RTJ Resort Collection properties, were finalists for the Mobile Press-Register honor.
Renaissance Ross Bridge Golf Resort & Spa in Birmingham won Best New Renaissance Hotel and Opening of the Year in 2005, as Battle House did in 2007. Ross Bridge recently was named best hotel in 2007 by The Birmingham News readers.
The RTJ Resort Collection consistently ranked among the best for meetings and guest satisfaction in both the Marriott and Renaissance brands. Ross Bridge and Battle House are currently in the top 10 for guest satisfaction out of the 71 Renaissance hotels. Of the 345 full service Marriott Hotels in North America, the
Marriott Shoals Hotel & Spa in Florence is ranked 8th for guest satisfaction. The
Grand Hotel Marriott Resort, Golf Club & Spa; Montgomery Marriott Prattville Hotel & Conference Center at Capitol Hill and
Auburn Marriott Opelika Hotel and Conference Center at Grand National are all ranked in the top 20% for both event and guest satisfaction.
Riverview Plaza Hotel in Mobile will convert to a Renaissance on Nov. 6, 2007, after a $50 million renovation. The eighth hotel,
Renaissance Montgomery Hotel and Spa at the Convention Center, will open in February 2008.
Alabama Spas Ranked
Among the Best in the Country
Alabama ranked fourth in the nation for the number of spas honored by BestSpas USA. Spas at the
Renaissance Ross Bridge Golf Resort and Spa, the
Marriott Shoals Hotel and Spa and The Grand Hotel Marriott Resort, Golf Club and Spa
were all in the ranking. Also, all three hotels earned
the coveted AAA Four-Diamond rating.
