Marriott Shoals Hotel and Spa

The convention business is booming in the Shoals and tourism officials say the package of comfort, pleasure and amenities offered at the Marriott Shoals Hotel and Spa contributes greatly.

The hotel was built to four-star quality, the only such hotel in north Alabama at the time. There are 193 rooms, all of which has a balcony that overlooks the scenic Tennessee River and Wilson Dam.

The Renaissance Tower, an icon in the Shoals, connects to the hotel and features a revolving restaurant known as the 360 Grille. Also on the complex is a conference center that provides meeting rooms and meals to accommodate groups of many sizes.
