BIRMINGHAM, Alabama — Hilton Birmingham at UAB, located on the campus of the University of Alabama Birmingham, recently completed a multimillion-dollar renovation that included all 295 guest rooms, 16,000 square feet of meeting and event space, its restaurant and a new fitness center.
The transformation positions the Hilton-branded property, managed by Pyramid Global Hospitality and owned by The UAB Educational Foundation, as a premier hub for visitors, alumni and the Birmingham community.
The project, led by CCR Architecture & Interiors with construction by P&M Construction, revitalized every guest room with modern furnishings and enhanced comfort. Event spaces, including a ballroom, state-of-the art meeting rooms and exhibition space, were reimagined to support corporate meetings, expos, fundraising events and university gatherings with upgraded finishes and technology.
Tied to its UAB location, the hotel launched Blazer’s Grill, a new restaurant led by Executive Chef Bryan Williams. It highlights regional cuisine in a setting that reflects UAB’s community spirit, catering to students, alumni and Birmingham travelers.
The hotel offers 16,000 square feet of meeting space, including the flexible 7,240-square-foot Hamilton Ballroom, several meeting rooms and boardrooms, a large event lobby area, a pool terrace and an attached parking deck.
Amenities include an outdoor pool, 24-hour fitness center, grab-and-go market, free Wi-Fi, a coffee shop and pet-friendly options.
“This renovation reaffirms our hotel’s position on the UAB campus and in the Birmingham community,” said Lisa Castagna, general manager. “From redesigned guest rooms to refreshed meeting spaces and the launch of Blazer’s Grill, every detail was crafted to better serve our guests, whether they’re visiting for a conference, a Blazers game or a weekend in the city.”
Located on UAB’s campus two blocks from its hospital and the Kirklin Clinic, the hotel offers free shuttle service within a 1-mile radius and to/from Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport.
