The Gatsby

Welcome to The Gatsby!

Take a step back into time, and stay in our 1920s Art Deco speakeasy-themed loft. The Prohibition Era was such an interesting time in our history, and we have tried to capture this snapshot in time at The Gatsby. Upon arrival, you must ascend 27 stairs (there is no elevator).

The Location:
When staying at The Gatsby, you will find yourself in the heart of Downtown Tuscaloosa overlooking the magnificent and bustling University Blvd and Greensboro Ave. Intersection. Walk to bars, restaurants, convenience stores, shopping, and more! Just 1 mile from Bryant Denny stadium!

Sleeping & Bathrooms:
There are 2 King Beds & 1 Twin futon and 2 full bathrooms. This unit can sleep up to 8. Read details on how it can sleep 8. The rooms at The Gatsby are smaller scale & historic rooms.

Bedroom 1: King bed
Bedroom 2 King Bed with en-suite bathroom
Game Room Area: Futon with full bath across from it.
Optional Beds: 1 Sectional Sofa and 2 conversational sofas (meant for people under 5'2")

The Space and Amenities:
- Poker Table
- Board Games
- Darts

Outdoor Fun:
There is a covered, screened-in porch with comfortable seating, ceiling fan, TV, fire-pit and more! This space overlooks Temerson Square, so you will be privy to lots of activity and marvelous people watching.

Parking:
There is no designated parking, as you are in a loft space in Downtown, facing University Blvd. After 5PM, you are able to park anywhere on University Blvd, but during the day, you will get towed after 2 hrs. You are nearby to a public parking garage that you are able to utilize, or we recommend an Uber/Lyft. Once you arrive, you should not need a car as you are walking distance to everything, or could get a golf cart shuttle.

We are here to make your stay a wonderful one. We know we’ve done our job well when you ask about coming back to stay with us again. We love having repeat guests, because it feels like family or close friends coming home for a visit. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions!

  Great spot, but this place does NOT sleep 8. This place has only two bedrooms and a total of two beds. So ideal for two couples.

  We have rented several great properties with Bama BnB and this one was equally great. The location of this apartment downtown close to everything was perfect for our weekend. The unit was equipped with everything we needed, the beds were comfy, and management was responsive to all of our questions.

  We had a wonderful stay at this property. The location is perfect, no need for a car but there is free parking nearby. I highly recommend Bama B&B rentals. We have stayed at a couple of their properties and always been happy.

  We had a wonderful stay at the Gatsby condo downtown. We enjoyed visit our UA college students and cooking them a home cooked meals at the condo. The kitchen was very well stocked to cook any meal imaginable. Clean, comfortable and very large space to hang out. Bama Bed & Breakfast is amazing! Wonderful business to rent from. Thank you!
