Every family chooses hotel rooms based on different criteria. For some, the hotel must have an indoor pool. Others require continental breakfast. Maybe you are only willing to stay in the most luxurious oh hotel and yet others only require a clean place to sleep and make their decision based on rates. For myself and my family, I would have to say that the number one thing I look at when making decisions on where to stay is the location. With that in mind let me tell you where is the best place to stay in the heart of Montgomery.

Where is the Best Place to Stay in the Heart of Montgomery?

Without a doubt, the best place to stay in the heart of Montgomery is the Renaissance Montgomery Hotel and Spa.

What to look for when choosing hotels

Location

This is the most important feature I look at when deciding which hotel to book. Most of the time, whether it is a city or a beach destination, I want to be able to park the car and walk or take public transit the rest of the trip. On foot is the best way to really explore any place you visit.

The Renaissance Montgomery Hotel is right in the heart of Montgomery. Within walking distance you will find the following attractions and museums:

• Hank Williams Museum (right across the street)
• Rosa Parks Museum and Library
• Riverfront Park
• Civil Rights Memorial Center
• Dexter Baptist Church

• Riverwalk Stadium (Home of the Montgomery Biscuits AA Baseball Team)
• Alabama State Capitol

Not only is there a lot to do within walking distance but there are some really amazing restaurants nearby as well. I have personally and with great pleasure taste tested and recommend the following establishments:

• Railyard Brewing Company
• Central
• D’road Cafe
• The Exchange
• Prevail Union
• Cahawba House

What about the amenities?

Ok, so maybe the pool is the most important thing on your list when deciding where is the best place to stay in the heart of Montgomery. Check out this roof top beauty!

In addition to the pool, the Renaissance Montgomery Hotel also offers:

• full service spa
• fitness center
• complimentary hi-speed wi-fi
• on-site laundry
• valet laundry service
• The Exchange, on- site pub
•  The House, on-site restaurant

I am always curious to find out what hotel quality is a priority for others travelers. Please share with us in the comments below what feature or amenity is the most important thing you will look at when deciding where is the best place to stay in the heart of Montgomery.
