The Historic Tutwiler Hotel has a long and unique history. Located at the corner of Twentieth Street and Fifth Avenue North, The Tutwiler Hotel opened for business in 1914. The original hotel had 343 rooms, as well as a "Grand Ball Room" that could accommodate 1200 people. As time evolved, the downtown landscape changed, and the original hotel was demolished in 1974. This site is now the home of the Financial Center building. Thankfully, the story doesn't end here. Owned by the Tutwiler Family, the Ridgely Apartment building had been built at the same time as The Tutwiler and made its debut as one of the grandest apartment buildings in the south. In 1986, Mr. Temple Tutwiler transformed the Ridgley into a luxury hotel, restoring the building to its former prominence. Between May 2006 and April 2007, the Tutwiler received a total transformation. The developers were able to preserve the historic architecture while updating the interior with modern amenities. The Tutwiler is considered Birmingham's signature destination hotel. Next time you're in town, treat yourself to a few night's stay in this one-of-a-kind, full service hotel.
