Why We Love the Renaissance Mobile Riverview Plaza Hotel
We really enjoy staying at the Mobile Renaissance Hotel. The friendly staff, relaxing environment, and array of amenities make it the perfect place to book a getaway.
The rooms have unforgettable views over the Mobile River and Downtown Mobile.
The elegant rooms are designed for comfort, and I am going to admit that we find ourselves not wanting to leave the room because we are so relaxed.
During our last visit we grabbed breakfast in the lounge and then came down to the room and laid in bed watching the boats go by for a few hours.
The corner room we stayed in was gorgeous, and we were talking about booking another stay before we checked out.
If you are in town for a conference or convention the hotel connects to the Arthur R. Outlaw Convention Center via a skywalk so it is really easy to move back and forth.
There are great public areas in the hotel so you can meet people from the conference or convention easily. There is also a conference center and meeting rooms availlable.

For families, the 2 Queen rooms offer plenty of space, and we'd recommend requesting a river view room if available. The river views make all the difference - watching the boats and ships go by is incredibly relaxing.
