👨‍🚀 Blast Off

🚀 Trilogy Hotel Opens in Downtown Huntsville

A new chapter in Huntsville hospitality begins today as the Trilogy Hotel Huntsville is now open and ready for business. The new hotel is anchored in Big Spring Park across from the VBC and is designed to honor the Rocket City’s space-age legacy.

The 214-room boutique hotel blends mid-century modern style with the spirit of innovation that’s defined Huntsville since the 1960s.

Guests can enjoy valet parking, concierge service, and easy access to Big Spring Park and Downtown Huntsville. Inside, you’ll find locally inspired dining at Harvest Moon and Vesper.

Whether you’re visiting for business, a concert at the VBC, or a weekend downtown, Trilogy puts you right in the heart of it all.
