Since I've never been to Montgomery, Alabama before I was excited about our upcoming convention. Figuring out where to stay when visiting a new destination is less of a problem today. Hop online and you'll find plenty of resources. We knew we wanted to be close to the Convention Center, and stay somewhere that offered the amenities and excellent service we expect. Of course, there are numerous choices, and among the top choice is the Renaissance Montgomery Hotel & Spa at the Convention Center; a perfect selection. Located at 201 Tallapoosa Street in Montgomery, Renaissance Montgomery Hotel & Spa has all the modern amenities that include LCD TVs with an abundance of high definition channels, a wireless phone with touch screen, and a connectivity panel to integrate all your electronic devices. And, it is close to where we needed to be on this visit.
As for conventions, the
Renaissance Montgomery Hotel & Spa at the Convention Center
offers an amazing amount of space; over 140,000 square feet
of space in fact! This makes it easy to plan an assortment of
activities from exhibits and conferences. While I did not
have the pleasure of catching a show at the Performing Art
Centre I did take a peak inside of this state-of-the-art
facility. Performing Arts Centre. To my surprise one of the
upcoming acts is Alice Cooper on his Theatre of Death Tour
on Oct 7th, and Queensryche's American Soldier Tour. On
September 18th Spencers Theatre of Illusion takes the stage,
and later in the month on September 24th of another legend,
Pat Green. The venue is perfect for concerts as well as
Broadway shows like Annie, which is also featured on the
lineup. Guests and visitors alike will not find a bad seat
in the house at the Performing Arts Centre! All this combined with the
Renaissance Montgomery Hotel & Spa at the Convention
Center's superior service, and your have the ideal setting
for a grand event!
Speaking
of superior service, the
Renaissance Montgomery Hotel & Spa
at the Convention Center is on the top of the list in our
book! The moment you arrive are greeted with the warmth of
southern hospitality. I took a lot of pictures so I was
always going in and out the doors, and there was always a
polite young man there with a welcoming smile on his face to
open the door for me. The young men and women at the front
desk were just as helpful, and willing to answer any of my
questions about the area or assist me when I got turned
around during the conference. It's a big facility, but no
problem when you have exceptional staff on hand to assist
you! While we did not visit the lavish 9,000 square foot
European Spa, we did hear from friends who did that they
were very relaxed after their visit. On the 8th floor you'll
also find the lavish pool, which our friend Richard did
enjoy, and there's a gym.
The
rooms were spacious and crisp, and although I do not sleep
well away from home I felt asleep shortly after my head hit
the pillow in the cozy bed. The serving staff on hand during
our luncheon was spot on, providing us with our drinks, and
refreshing meals. When it comes to delicious selections for
an evening out be sure to visit the The House Restaurant,
where the Chef service up a mix of southern favorites and
other culinary delights. For a evening drink visit The
Exchange Lounge where you can also sit outside and enjoy
live music and the company of gr
On
our visit we did have the chance to wander around and
discovered there beautiful Riverboat called the Harriett II
as well as the Riverwalk Amphitheatre just a short walk
away. And, just around the corner is the Riverwalk Stadium,
home to the the Montgomery Biscuits! Country music fans must
visit the Hank Williams Museum, which is just across the
street for a memorable moments exploring the history of this
legends life. Nearby attractions also include the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts,
a Black Heritage Trail, Historic Union Station, First Flight School,
and the
Rosa Parks Museum, as well as the
Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at Capital Hill. So, as you
can tell there's plenty to do a short distance away.
Although I cannot name every single
person who assisted us, I can say thank you to all of the
exceptional staff at the Renaissance Montgomery Hotel & Spa
at the Convention Center, who made our short visit a
memorable one.
You're a perfect example of Southern Hospitality!
