Montgomery…Making History Again

Alabama’s capital city is dramatically revitalizing its downtown riverfront district. Once again, our city is on the brink of great change with new attractions, including a convention center and four-star Marriott Renaissance hotel (which opened February 4, 2008), spectacular Riverwalk, a multi-use baseball stadium and a host of unique meeting and entertainment venues. Montgomery is geographically positioned to be the perfect destination for regional and in-state meetings and conventions. And the new state-of-the-art convention center and riverfront district will offer your guests accessibility, flexibility and convenience.

The New Montgomery Convention Center & Hotel
The centerpiece of Montgomery’s riverfront renaissance is a new state-of-the-art convention center and an adjacent four-star Marriott Renaissance hotel in the heart of the Riverfront District. Developed by Alabama Real Estate Holdings, a portfolio company of the Retirement Systems of Alabama, this $160 million hotel overlooking the river will be located directly in front of the existing civic center. The 347 room four-star hotel includes a full-service spa and fitness center, a pool and two unique restaurant choices. The existing civic center just completed a $29 million expansion increasing the meeting, exhibition and ballroom space by almost 50%, as well as adding a 1,800-seat, world-class, performing arts center.
