About this property

The Gatsby - a 1920s Speakeasy abode in the heart of Downtown Tuscaloosa!

  • 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 (4 + kids). 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!
