A third Hyatt Place Hotel was constructed at 2024 4th Avenue South on the corner of 20th Street to serve visitors to downtown Birmingham and UAB. The $36 million 150-room hotel was built as a joint venture of Corporate Realty Development and the Welden Field Financial Group.
The site, formerly Tom Williams Cadillac, was purchased from Liberty National Life Insurance. The project was announced in October 2007 and was originally projected to open in late 2008. Opening was delayed until mid-summer 2009. Golden Construction was general contractor and Southern Hospitality Services, a division of Welden Field, manages operations.
The 100% non-smoking hotel features a Bakery Café and fitness center, both open 24 hours, and an indoor pool.
