Hi all I am bringing clients to the Talladega race in May and I was wondering if you had any suggestions on best area to stay and restaurants?

Looking for a more upscale hotel. Looking at Hilton Perimeter Park Hotel right now.

What say you gents?

Thank you for all your kind suggestions.

I know close to nothing about Talladega, but the Hilton Perimeter Park is a nice place and would be easy access to I-459 -> I-20

It's also really close to the Summit.

You should rent a chateau on Mt. Cheaha. I have no idea what else to tell you, though.

Wear cut off wrangler jeans and remove t shirt sleeves. Drink Milwaukee's Best, shoot fire works.


In all honesty, shits a blast. Redneck-y as frick, but shits a blast.

Well there's nothing nice near Talladega so pick a hotel in the direction that you're coming from would be my suggestion.

I do both Talladega races every year, but we take an RV and camp. Much better experience not having to fight post-race traffic. Traffic before the race isn't as bad.

Anyway, there's a Hilton and a Marriott right in that area you're talking about. It'd be about an hour drive the morning of the race. 2-3 hours after the race would be my guess. There are a bunch of restaurants in that area, though most are chains. That said, Fleming's Steak House is at the Summit and is a great place to take clients. Down 280 south of 459 there's a Chuck's Fish and a Bellini's(Italian steak house) that are both good. If you're trying to avoid chains.

Feel free to shoot me any other questions. I live in that area of Birmingham, and like I said I go to both races every year.

The Westin is probably the nicest upscale chain hotel currently. It's right on I-20, and has a Todd English P.U.B. LINK

There's not much else close to it, but it's only a five or six minute drive or cab ride to high end dining or the bars on the south side.

ETA- I can't help you at all with race info, but if you tell me what your clients are into, I'd be more than happy to suggest restaurants, etc.
