Local area hotels are gearing up for what will be the largest event ever in the City of Birmingham. The City is expecting thousands of visitors from all over the country and even the world during the course of the five-day Civil Rights commemoration known as Empowerment Week.
The Courtyard Birmingham Downtown at UAB was the first to come on board. Now through December 31, the downtown location will offer the “Experience the Birmingham Civil Rights Movement Package” which includes deluxe accommodations, breakfast for two and two adult admission tickets to the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute. The Marriott has six total locations throughout the City of Birmingham. The Westin and Sheraton in Downtown Birmingham have also developed special packages. In addition, the downtown Springhill Suites has developed its own package.
“We want to be sure that all visitors that come to our City during Empowerment Week have the best accommodations we can offer. We appreciate the Birmingham Convention and Visitors Bureau and local area hotels for putting these packages together,” said Mayor Bell.
