Battle House Hotel Named A Top Historic Hotel

Historic Hotels of America, an official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, recently released its “2024 Top 25 Historic Hotels of America Where U.S. Presidents Made History List,” and Mobile’s own Battle House Renaissance Mobile Hotel & Spa was included. The listing says “many illustrious guests” have visited the hotel in the past 172 years, “including the likes of Senator Henry Clay, General Winfield Scott and U.S. President Millard Fillmore. In 1860, Senator and presidential candidate Stephen A. Douglas spent Election Night inside the hotel. The present-day site of the Battle House Renaissance Mobile Hotel & Spa was once the headquarters of General—and future U.S. President—Andrew Jackson during the War of 1812. The most significant presidential visit was by President Woodrow Wilson in 1913.” Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the Battle House Renaissance Hotel & Spa was inducted into Historic Hotels of America in 2009.
