A 120-suite Residence Inn by Marriott opened today in Homewood, Alabama off Highway 280.

Built on the site of the former Mountain Brook Inn, the much-anticipated hotel is located at 2790 US Hwy 280 South conveniently behind the popular Bricktops restaurant.

“We are pleased to introduce Residence Inn hotels in the Homewood and Mountain Brook areas. When on the road for an extended period, our guests need space to spread out, maintain their life’s pace and restore their energy to help them maintain a healthy balance and routine while traveling. This new hotel offers them a seamless blend of modern style and functionality that allows them to settle in and thrive.”
