Fort Conde's Historic Museum and Welcome Center is an image of Mobile's commitment to historic preservation and the City's celebration of its rich heritage. The Exploreum, a children's science museum and the adjacent IMAX theater, reflect the city's public investment in downtown development and education. The Convention Center has architectural lines that salute the past and has been the catalyst of a development renaissance in one of America's oldest port cities. Mobile was established in 1702 as the capital of the newly created "Louisiana" and has grown from an early French colonial outpost into a major American city of regional, national and international importance. Even though it is one of the oldest port cities in America, new sights and experiences are waiting around every corner. Mobile is also the original home of Mardi Gras, sixty-two years before New Orleans adopted the celebration. Life can be slow in the deep South, but it doesn't have to be. Mobile is a renowned recreational destination on the Gulf Coast. Enjoy fishing, hunting, hiking and spectator sports the year-round. Fantastic shopping awaits you at malls, outlet centers, antique and specialty shops.

If none of the above strikes your interests, Mobile has 17 museums that depict the city's multi cultural background through history, art, science and medicine. You can also visit the Battleship Memorial Park and tour the USS Alabama, the submarine USS Drum, or inspect dozens of historic aircraft and fighter planes. The world-famous Bellingrath Gardens and Home are rated one of the top five horticultural attractions in North America. Finally, if you are into local history and genealogy, check out the Mobile Public Library, local history and genealogy division. It is about five blocks from the hotel. You really never dined until you've dined in Mobile. Fresh Gulf seafood or spicy Southern barbecue, crawfish and King cakes are all found here.
