The Spotlight on Hilton Birmingham Downtown at UAB

Southern Style Comfort in the Heart of Birmingham

Modern and welcoming, the Hilton Birmingham Downtown at UAB places you right in the action of downtown Birmingham. Just steps from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and close to major concert venues, this hotel blends comfort with convenience. With its sleek rooms, outdoor pool, and Southern-inspired on-site dining, it’s a cozy home base for music lovers heading to a big night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything when you're catching a show, and this Hilton delivers. You're just about a mile from the Birmingham Amtrak station and a short ride from major music venues. Late check-in at 4:00 PM and a generous 12:00 PM check-out means you can sleep in after a late-night encore. The atmosphere is lively yet not overly noisy—ideal for winding down. Plus, the hotel offers shuttle service to and from the airport, perfect for out-of-towners flying in for the big event.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends—spacious rooms and nearby nightlife make it easy to stick together
  • Solo travelers—safe, central, and close to transit
  • Couples—make a romantic weekend of it with local attractions and cozy dining
  • Fans wanting quiet—rooms are restful, and the pool offers a chill spot to recover
  • Budget-conscious fans—great value for downtown Birmingham with plenty of included perks

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant, The Lab Bar & Kitchen, serves up Southern-style comfort food with flair—perfect for post-show cravings. Room service is available for low-key nights in, and plenty of walkable eateries surround the hotel. While breakfast isn’t listed as included, you'll find satisfying options nearby for a late brunch after a night out.

Nightlife Options

Whether you're looking to pregame or keep the night going, there’s a lot nearby. The hotel bar offers a relaxed vibe with local drinks, and you're minutes away from Birmingham’s bar scene. While there’s no live music in-house, the proximity to downtown venues more than makes up for it.

What People Say

Guests love the cleanliness of the rooms, the friendly staff, and the overall convenience. Many say the location is perfect for events at UAB or nearby music venues. The hotel’s modern design and reasonable rates also get frequent praise.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that parking can be a little pricey and that the hallways occasionally carry sound. That said, most agree that the rooms themselves are quiet and comfortable—ideal after a long concert night.

If you're heading to a show in Birmingham and want a stylish, well-located place to crash, Hilton Birmingham Downtown at UAB hits the right note.

Poor - 1.0 out of 5

Jenn, Brandon, visiting BJCC Arena Mon, 18 March 2024

We got back to hotel about midnight and our keys wouldn't work. We went to desk and the employee said we aren’t even checked in and how did we get in room. We had two rooms and were given keys for desk clerk at 4 pm. She finally said she would have go check our rooms to see if that was even our personal items in room. Rolled her eyes and talked under her breath the entire way there and when she left.

Liked: The pillows.
Disliked: The employees was rude.

Sharon, Ozark, visiting Iron City Birmingham

I would definitely use the DoubleTree in Birmingham if I was in the area again.

Liked: Easy to check in online. The room was as presented. Very clean and comfortable! The front desk even worked to check in another party in my group before I arrived....a nice touch to accommodate our needs.
Disliked: No restaurant on site. We didn't ask, either. They did have a full room service menu.
