Property Description
Situated on the Alabama River just one block from the iconic Edmund Pettus Bridge, our peaceful, historic hotel is the perfect launch pad for exploring locally.

Built in 1837, St. James is one of the oldest operating riverfront hotels in the US. With many of its original features, it is both interesting and vibrant with the new life of its 2021 renovation. Our hotel features guest rooms that overlook the beautiful Alabama River, our picturesque courtyard or views of downtown Selma. Each room is distinctly furnished with modern luxuries, while still giving a nod to the period it was built. We are a part of the Tapestry Collection by Hilton™. This collection of hotels is a gathering of original upscale hotels that caters to guests seeking reliability and value in their independent hotel choices, with each stay backed by the reassurance of the Hilton name and award-winning Hilton HHonors program.

Our restaurant is named after Benjamin Sterling Turner, an enslaved man who was appointed to run the hotel when it changed hands in 1845. Sterling has quite a story that you can read about online by searching his name.Then there's the legend of the Outlaw Jesse James, his mistress Lucinda and their times at the St. James. Guests frequently ask to stay in one of the rooms that James stayed in, which are reportedly 301, 214, 314 and 315. There are some great tales about his times at St. James Hotel! Much of the renovation history is preserved on the second floor of the hotel and the local community is passionate about St. James Hotel and its history.
