John Hand Club Hotel

Check-in was difficult. Hotels.com sent us a non-functional door code and security wasn’t at the front desk. No one answered the phone numbers listed on the door to call. Brisk walk through the rain to parking deck next block over to get security to answer phone to let us in the door. Living room in the Heaviest Corner suite strongly smelled of marijuana and lots of street noise hindered sleep somewhat. Otherwise, room was clean and appeared well kept. The bed was comfortable and shower was beautiful and refreshing with great water pressure.

Beautiful property! Hidden gem! 10/10. The only complaint I have is that the bar/restaurant is closed on Sunday at 4 pm which is the check-in time. It would have been nice to lounge up there and enjoy the view with a drink. It doesn’t open until later in the evening on Monday either. So, of all nights-Sunday is best to be avoided if this is important to you. Stayed in the Sloss room that was auto-picked for me. Probably the smallest and worst view of all 6/7 rooms, but it steps directly into the private living (lounge) area that is so beautiful, quiet and peaceful! The hotel is clean, smells great and beds are super comfortable! I’m a travel and expense manager and I feel happy recommending this to anyone coming to BHM. I am a local and gifted this night to a family member and brought them some snacks and drinks to help enjoy their stay.

This is an amazing property! We stayed in the cobblestone suite. It had a separate seating area, access to a wonderful balcony, a walk-in shower, and a comfortable king size bed. They also provided extra linen/blankets in the closet. It can be a little confusing on how to access the security desk where you check in and then the hotel but if you follow the very detailed instructions that they send to you and use Google maps to locate the areas you will be fine. You have to first park in the visiting parking lot located at morris and 20th avenue. Then walk a few feet to the double doors of the John hand building. They will have your key card already set. When you go back to your car if you look directly across the street (still on Morris) you will see a parking deck entrance. There will even be a sign (John Hand club parking). Use your key card to access both parts of the perking deck. One you park where the security directs you to park there are two double doors.. you enter and take the elevator to the designated floor and find your suite from there There are only 6 suites I believe. Each one with a different name. There is a community kitchen that the staff hand stocked with beverages, fruit and for breakfast- bagels, fruit bars, yogurt. The hotel is located downtown Birmingham and there are several shops and restaurants within walking distance. This was an amazing stay and I will always stay at John Hand Club whenever I am in Birmingham.

This was our first time staying in Birmingham. We loved the hotel! The views were great. The room was beautiful! It’s was an easy trip to the airport from the hotel.

We recently stayed at the John Hand Club Hotel on a quick trip to Birmingham. I must say, its a unique set-up, and not your typical hotel, with an obvious lobby and check-in desk. But we were well taken care of by the Gentleman who greeted us as we drove in and explained how to get to the parking area, quickly checked us in, and miraculously showed up when we forgot the last part of our instructions, to help us get to where we needed to be! It was clean, well appointed and quiet, and easy to get in and out. We will be back!

A little quirky check in for a business traveler, but was very smooth and the hotel design is really well done! The pictures are dead on and the guest area with its balcony with super cool. The building has its own private bar on the top floor and looked pretty hip in the daytime and would at night would be fun for a drink.
