HUNTSVILLE – Embassy Suites by Hilton Huntsville is not only the largest full-service hotel in downtown, it’s the oldest.

Embassy Suites, all of 18 years old, underwent a two-phased, multimillion-dollar renovation and debuted its new look with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Tuesday.
The new-look, 295-room hotel is connected by a sky bridge to the Von Braun Center and sits adjacent to Big Spring International Park.
“For 18 years, the Embassy Suites by Hilton Huntsville has served as an award-winning hospitality provider in Huntsville, positively impacting the city’s economy,” said Larry Cooper, vice president, Operational Strategies — Eastern Region, Atrium Hospitality. “Our beautifully renovated hotel has the highest room count in Huntsville, can accommodate attendees of large groups and conferences at the Von Braun Center, as well as host business and transient travelers wanting an excellent place to stay.”
