SPANISH FORT, Ala. Two new hotels are coming to the city of Spanish Fort.
Mayor Brad Bass and city officials participated in festivities that included the official groundbreaking for a TownePlace Suites by Marriott and the topping-out ceremony (beam signing) for a Tru by Hilton. Both properties are located on the east side of the Eastern Shore Centre, across from Eastern Shore Lanes.
The mayor said that they are celebrating an exciting milestone in the community’s continued growth as city leaders joined RAM Hotels to commemorate the construction of two new hotels on the city’s eastern corridor.
RAM Hotels, an Alabama family-owned company, has strategically chosen to invest in Spanish Fort through collaboration with city officials and a shared commitment to strengthening the community. Once completed, the two hotels will collectively offer nearly 200 guest rooms, along with meeting spaces and modern amenities designed to serve visitors to the Eastern Shore.
“These projects represent another exciting step forward for Spanish Fort. We are proud to partner with RAM Hotels as they continue investing in our city and helping expand opportunities for visitors to stay, explore, and experience everything our community has to offer,” said Casey Raines, Planning and Zoning Official for Spanish Fort.
The I-10 Corridor between Mobile and the Forida line continues to be a hot area for development from residential communities to hospitality and other new businesses.
Hotels are specially needed along this stretch of I-10 with the growth of tourism and large companies locating in the area.
The addition of these hotels will bring new energy to the developing east side of Spanish Fort and support the continued growth of the area surrounding the Eastern Shore Centre. City leaders say the development reflects the strong economic momentum taking place throughout Spanish Fort and the Eastern Shore region.
Other projects could also be announced soon.
Construction on both properties is currently underway. Tru by Hilton is expected to open in October 2026.
