Experience the true spirit of Tuscaloosa at Hotel Indigo® Tuscaloosa Downtown, the city’s first waterfront hotel overlooking the Black Warrior River. Admire river views from our rooftop bar, or grab one of our bikes on loan and head to the Tuscaloosa Riverwalk to watch paddleboats and kayaks ride the current. Less than a mile away from the University of Alabama, we offer the perfect place to stay for the electric excitement of football games and graduations. You’ll find a myriad of unique shops and restaurants downtown, and you can see both local and nationally touring acts at Tuscaloosa Amphitheater, the largest outdoor music venue in West Alabama. Inside the hotel, locally inspired murals fill the walls — we also host a gallery expansion from the Kentuck Art Gallery just across the river — and our restaurant and bar feature authentic Southern food and drinks. Even your room will reflect the neighborhood’s tradition of culture, education and industry through modern décor and rustic furnishings that are distinctly Alabamian.

Hotel Indigo was amazing! We stayed one night in a king bed overlooking the River, the room was clean and very comfortable! The shower was hands down my favorite part of the room! We also took full advantage of having The Lookout Bar to go get drinks our first night! Teagan, gave us amazing recommendations and made fantastic drinks - I ordered Farmers Market, it was so beautiful with a flower garnish and was the perfect blend of fresh and sweet! Highly recommend!

The hotel is fantastic. The room was super clean and smelled great. Re: the Rooftop bar- The new toasted marshmallow whisky cocktail is amazing as was the Coach cocktail. Verdie at the bar was so fantastic that she remembered my coworkers comment about not liking whisky and preferring vodka and she brought out the toasted marshmallow drink for her made with vodka. These drinks were incredible and delicious! 🔥🔥She was so attentive and thoughtful and brought out cushions to the rooftop bar since they had been put up because of inclement weather earlier. Props to Alison for the new toasted marshmallow cocktail as this is so good it’s worth the drive to the hotel just to come to the bar!!!

We had the pleasure of being waited on by three great young men - Dee, Jackson and Jaedon in the Lookout! We arrived at 5 pm when it opened, sat at the Bar and we weee greeted immediately by Dee. We had appetizers, beers and Dee made my wife a great Snickertini! Jackson made some great recommendations. We went back later for dinner and Jaedon served us! Great attentive Service! I have been in Hospitality all my career and was so proud to see such well-trained, personable and professional young men! Thank you, Gentlemen!

Hotel Indigo Tuscaloosa Downtown was perfect from start to finish. The location is unbeatable next to the River Walk and conveniently close to the University of Alabama. Check-in was quick and easy, and the rooftop bar was the perfect place to relax after a long day of travel.
Elliot and Verdie took excellent care of us. Once Elliot learned we were in town touring the university with our son, he went out of his way to answer questions and make us feel welcome. Wonderful service, beautiful hotel, and an overall fantastic stay. Highly recommend.

We had such a wonderful experience at the restaurants inside Hotel Indigo thanks to our amazing server, Jaeden at dinner time and Teagan at breakfast!
From the moment we were seated, Jaeden and Teagan provided exceptional customer service — attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. Our meals were served promptly, everything came out perfectly timed, and the food was absolutely delicious. You could tell there was care in both the service and the kitchen.
On top of that, the pricing was very reasonable for the quality we received, which made the experience even better.
And the next part.. we could bring our four legged friends! 🐾
If you’re dining at Hotel Indigo, ask for Jaeden and Teagan you won’t be disappointed!
