ORANGE BEACH, Ala.—Vista Host has opened SpringHill Suites by Marriott Orange Beach Gulf Shores, expanding lodging options along Alabama’s Gulf Coast with a 120-suite hotel focused on extended-stay comfort and coastal-inspired design.
The hotel is located at 24224 Ruby Lane, and offers convenient access to Orange Beach and Gulf Shores attractions, including beaches, restaurants, and outdoor recreation.
“This opening represents everything we value as a company,” says Evan Studer, CEO of Vista Host. “Working alongside Cohen Investments, we set out to create a hotel that reflects the beauty of the coast while giving back to the community that makes Orange Beach so special. From Salt & Sips and our conservation give-back to the welcoming spaces throughout the hotel, every detail was designed with purpose.”
SpringHill Suites Orange Beach Gulf Shores features oversized suites designed for longer stays and leisure travel. Each suite includes separate living, working, and sleeping areas, along with plush bedding, soft linens, and a sofa sleeper.
Public areas throughout the hotel incorporate a bright, coastal aesthetic intended to connect guest rooms with shared spaces. Outdoor amenities include a resort-style pool designed for relaxation and social gatherings. Salt & Sips poolside bistro offers light bites and cocktails inspired by coastal flavors. The bistro’s signature drink, The Fred, is a Paloma-inspired cocktail; a portion of The Fred proceeds will benefit local coastal conservation efforts.
The Blue Heron Room is a 1,080-square-foot meeting space designed to accommodate meetings and small group gatherings, making the property suitable for small corporate events and group business.
Additional amenities include complimentary daily breakfast, free Wi-Fi, a 24/7 market, guest laundry facilities, and a fitness center.
Vista Host announced the hotel’s leadership team as part of the opening. Matthew Sutherland has been named general manager and brings more than 20 years of hospitality experience. Cole Walker has been appointed sales manager after previously working at Visit Nashville.
