GunRunner Boutique Hotel & Spa

Hide away in plain sight. Experience the GunRunner.

The GunRunner Boutique Hotel has been voted 2024’s #1 Boutique Hotel in America by USA Today.

Located in the heart of downtown Florence, Alabama, the GunRunner features 10 spacious luxury suites that are uniquely designed to celebrate the world-class music, fashion, art, and history of the Shoals area.

We offer a 3,200 square foot Common Area that 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. This 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. All suites have large walk-in tiled showers, 55-inch televisions, wet bars, refrigerators and luxury bedding. Hotel guests enjoy free private parking, private entrances, and keyless entry.

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.
