Groundbreaking ceremony is slated for August 30
BIRMINGHAM, AL – Cobblestone Hotel and Suites is entering into the state of Alabama with its first location in Cullman. A groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for Tuesday, August 30 at 2 p.m.
The 63-room hotel is the hospitality brand’s Main Street prototype that includes a Wissota Chophouse that will feature local and regional beers and high-quality steaks. This is the first Cobblestone Hotel in the state of Alabama as they continue to expand their brand South. Construction should take 12-15 months.
