Hotel Indigo - Birmingham Five Points S - Uab By Ihg stands in Five Points South, 8 miles from Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport without shuttle service. The 4-star hotel occupies a landmark Art Deco building from the 1930s, originally medical offices, near UAB in Birmingham's entertainment district. Five Points South features architecturally significant churches, the Storyteller fountain, and diverse dining options including farm-to-table and BBQ restaurants.

Southern Dining Experience

Rx Lounge serves American cuisine with Southern flair, offering dishes like pulled pork sandwiches and creamy grits. The apothecary-themed venue operates as a coffee shop by day and craft cocktail bar by night. Chef Niko Romero curates the menu using local ingredients, including gluten-free and vegetarian options.

Cultural & Musical Attractions

The Birmingham Museum of Art, with 26000 works, and Saturn music venue hosting 500-capacity shows are within 2 miles. Iron City Birmingham's auto industry heritage buildings and Sojourns Fair-Trade global gift shop offer cultural experiences.

Business & Convenience Services

Hotel Indigo Birmingham provides a business center with printing services and a meeting space with Wi-Fi. The fitness center includes treadmills, ellipticals, and weights, operating from 6:00 AM to midnight. Valet parking costs $35 daily, with accessible self-parking available for guests.

“Hotel Indigo's location certainly puts you in the heart of Birmingham's action, and that's a double-edged sword given the mixed reports on noise. I'm intrigued by the medical-themed decor-a nod to the area's history you won't find elsewhere. The staff seems genuinely dedicated, and that can make a real difference, especially given some of the building's shortcomings.”
