"Hosting guests for more than 170 years, The Grand, overlooking Mobile Bay, is a member of Historic Hotels of America. Each afternoon, the staff pays homage to the hotel’s past with a military procession and cannon firing. High tea is served daily in The Grand Hall, Southern Roots serves modern, local fare, and there's even an all-day takeaway spot, the Local Market. Rooms decor is sophisticated, and not in the slightest bit stuffy. A 20,000-square-foot spa complements a 36-hole golf course, three pools, seasonal waterslide, and ten tennis courts."
