FLORENCE-The GunRunner Boutique Hotel located at 310 East Tennessee Street held a grand opening and open house on Wednesday, October 18. To celebrate the newest addition to the Shoals Chamber family the Chamber hosted a ribbon cutting.
A little about GunRunner by GunRunner:
“A hideaway in plain sight located in the heart of downtown Florence, Alabama. The GunRunner features 10 spacious luxury suites that celebrate the world-class music, fashion, art, and history of the Shoals area. The themed suites are uniquely designed to showcase the legendary musicians, world-class fashion designers, architectural icons, thoroughbred racehorses, historical landmarks (and outlaws) who shape the fabric of this corner of Northwest Alabama.
A 3,200 square foot common area offers eclectic décor with comfortable seating areas and a large wooden bar inlaid with honeycomb onyx. Ornate chandeliers mingle with the historical building’s brick walls, exposed beams and original wood floors. The common area is an exceptional venue for corporate gatherings, wedding receptions, office Christmas parties or any event that you may have in mind.
Seven of the hotel’s suites feature private balconies and all the rooms have large walk-in tiled showers, custom sound systems, 55-inch televisions, wet bars, refrigerators and luxury bedding. Hotel guests enjoy free private parking, private entrances, and keyless entry. Guests also have roof access to enjoy the view of downtown Florence
The hotel is within walking distance of many restaurants, bars and historical attractions. If shopping is on your to-do list, Billy Reid’s flagship store and other locally-owned boutiques are two blocks away. Also the University of North Alabama’s campus is within walking distance of the GunRunner.
Turbo Coffee Shop located in the hotel lobby features a variety of specialty coffee drinks as well as acai bowls, avocado toast, and other delectable selections.
Treat yourself to a stay at the GunRunner Boutique Hotel. Suites are available to rent separately or you can choose the “Run of the House” option which includes private access to all 10 suites and the common area.”
