Mobile offers a variety of hotels that cater to solo travelers, each equipped to cater to your solo experience goals
Historic in magnitude
Historic hotels, boutique beauties and everything in between. Want to stay downtown for a walkable adventure? The Renaissance Mobile Riverview Plaza Hotel is conveniently located near the cruise terminal and other popular attractions, restaurants, art galleries and shopping.
Pampering, please
If you would rather choose "All of the above," plus some pampering, The Battle House Renaissance Mobile Hotel & Spa is a historic hotel, boasting elegant rooms and suites, a full-service spa as well as a rooftop pool.
Blooms abound
If public gardens offering a relaxing retreat away from city life are your thing, we've got you. Hampton Inn - I-10 West/Bellingrath and Home2 Suites by Hilton Mobile West I-10 Tillmans Corner are both close to the acres of blooms at the dazzling Bellingrath Gardens & Home. If Mobile Botanical Gardens and Mobile Museum of Art are on your radar, Springhill Suites by Marriott and Drury Inn are ideal locations for your stay.
B & B for me
Fort Conde Inn is a historic 1836 bed & breakfast, true to its original construction with two floors, courtyards, patios and porches. The eclectic Bistro St. Emanuel offers brunch every day (EVERY. DAY) and is adjacent to the original B & B structure.

Want some cheese with that wine?
If charcuterie boards and wine sound like your perfect night, with no one to judge your choices, stop by Red or White Wine & Gourmet. Here, you'll find specially curated cheese selections for cheese boards, excellent fire roasted pizzas and perfectly paired wine. Raise a glass to James Beard Award nominated Chef Arwen Rice!
All the things
Don’t just enjoy one restaurant when you can dine at multiple locations while enjoying the beautiful scenery of downtown Mobile. Bienville Bites Food Tours celebrate classic Mobile favorites, with sweet and savory options as well as unique alcohol tastings. An excellent choice if you're looking to make new connections while traveling solo!
Double the fun
Many of our favorite spots excel in both cuisine and a fabulous cocktail menu. Pair smash burgers, boudin balls and other eclectic offerings right alongside handcrafted libations, made freshly in house at The Haberdasher and POST.
Casual fine dining is a thing here
Devour a delicious plate at Dauphin's, locally sourced ingredients at The Noble South, the unique fusion of flavors at NoJa or many others!

TOUR-isty

Treat yourself
Check out the several retail locations downtown. Prove you were here and take home a piece of Mobile from Bienville Souvenirs & Gifts or pick up a funky gift from the local start-up incubator Urban Emporium. Our art galleries have many pieces in their collections for sale as well as gift shops!
Hit the beach
Just 45 minutes down the road to the Sunset Capital of Alabama: Dauphin Island. Splash in the waves and build giant castles in the sand or check out the Alabama Aquarium at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab and discover the beauty and wonders of the Mobile Estuary. Birding solo is a fabulous way to find peace at the Audubon Bird Sanctuary.
Tee off

Voted "Best Public Golf Course in Mobile" by the Readers Choice Awards.
