My husband & I were in Birmingham for a concert. We enjoyed our stay at The Painted Lady! We enjoyed the historic building, beautiful bedroom & huge bathroom!
The building is in a great location. Parking and check-in were easy. The only thing I didn't care for was the tv turning itself on several times throughout the night. Would recommend as long as you don't mind a friendly ghost!

We loved our stay at the painted lady! The staff was great, very friendly. The hotel was always spotless! We loved the location and we loved the cuteness of the hotel! I would definitely recommend this hotel for a nice little get away
The place was great. Room was large and bed was comfy. Loved the decor. Would have liked a little more clothes storage or place to hang my clothes. In room coffee maker would be nice for travelers who rise super early to get to hospital. Other than that. Loved it. Will stay again.
The staff was helpful at all times. The only minor issue I had was that the electronic locks to the front door and my room door sometimes took several tries to open, which was a little frustrating but not a big issue
Parking was perfect! I parked right outside the hotel. There was great things around but I did not have time to enjoy. Just there for a quick night of sleep and had to get back on the road. Great stay! Will be back!
One of the best hotel stays I’ve had, and by far the best in Birmingham. Fair prices, great amenities, and the staff is some of the friendliest I have ever interacted with. Room was clean and absolutely adorable, I will be staying here every time I stay in Birmingham from now on.
The hotel was extremely clean and very beautiful inside and was perfectly within walking distance of everywhere we went for our night in Birmingham! Would definitely stay again and the service was top notch!

The room was clean and well appointed. Didn’t see another human the whole time we were there… but there was a lot of charm!
The amenity bar was a thoughtful touch. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautifully decorated rooms. Very comfortable beds and pillows. Nice to be in some place that is not a run-of-the-mill hotel room.
Really cute hotel with lots of personality. Very comfortable room. Front desk was very helpful- recommended a fantastic restaurant right in the neighborhood
Hotel was conveniently located, rooms were spacious, very stylish and clean. Management were super friendly. Only complaint is that the person staying above me kept late hours and had loud footsteps! Next time I will ask for the top floor.
The room was pristine and the office manager was the best! She was very friendly and helpful. My husband enjoyed learning the history of The Painted Lady. It is definitely a gem and if we are ever in Birmingham again, we will definitely be staying there.
The parking was conveniently located and easy to walk a few steps to the lobby. The interior decorating and amenities were great! The room was very, very welcoming and comfortable.
