Phoenix All Suites Hotel
Located in the center of Gulf Shores' beach access, Phoenix All Suites Hotel occupies two identical buildings on the beach, three-tenths of a mile apart, on either side of Highway 59. The 640-square-foot one-bedroom suites come with a full kitchen and 1 1/2 baths. Every suite has a balcony opening to a spectacular view of the Gulf of Mexico, and it's only a short elevator ride to the bottom floor to step out onto sugar-white sand. Whether your pleasure is surf fishing for red snapper and king mackerel, kayaking the back bays or simply pedaling a bicycle around on the miles of paved access trails, either location of the Phoenix All Suites Hotel is an excellent choice. The amenities listed above apply to either -- expect the same great view and prefect proximity to sun, sand, and water.
