I’m attending the annual “Daddy’s Girls’ Weekend” writer’s conference in Mobile, Alabama. Until this weekend, Mobile has always been a small city we pass through on our trips to New Orleans or parts beyond. Getting off of I-10 to find our way to this charming little sleeper of a Southern jewel has been a wonderful adventure!
Our accommodations at The Battle House Renaissance Hotel, deep in the heart of the downtown area have been such a treat!
Entering into the grand rotunda one is instantly embraced by the feeling of Southern hospitality. A delicious mint julep has to be on the schedule as you relax and take in the gracious atmosphere.
Our room in the newer “Tower” was spacious and beautifully appointed…..
The spa and fitness center offers a full menu of pampering you won’t want to miss……
This is a place to rest and renew……complete with the warm welcome of the South.
At the end of the weekend, I’m asking myself…..do I have to return home? But when home is St. Simons Island, Georgia, the answer is a resounding YES! I’ll always know that this lovely little secret of a hideaway waits for my return when the drive gets a bit too long and we need to take a break.

Very glad you enjoyed your trip to South Alabama, and hope you got to eat some good food along the way! If you return, ask to stay on the Historic side- just love the Battle House. Also the spa as you found , is wonderful! My St. Simon’s trip is in VIE magazine this month. Not a bad way to spend the week. Just so beautiful as well! Safe travels- Susan

We were invited to the Historic side for a drink on Saturday evening….so charming! This is definitely where I’ll ask for a room the next time.
