Area Information

Welcome to Birmingham, Alabama and the SpringHill Suites by Marriott Birmingham Colonnade AL hotel.  Birmingham, affectionately known as the “The Magic City”, was founded in 1871, just after the end of the U.S. Civil War and was named for the major industrial city of Birmingham, England. Guests will find our hotel located just minutes away from downtown Birmingham.  Our brand new, contemporary and spacious studio rooms in our all-suite hotel provide a home away from home with luxury bedding and a choice of down feather pillows or foam, some of the things you wish you had at home!
