The Trilogy Hotel opened its doors Thursday, with first guest Chad Emerson, managing director for Huntsville City Football Club.
Why it matters: The hotel's opening brings a new option to downtown, and wraps up a project on a high-profile site that's been in the works for years.
Part of Marriott's Autograph Collection, the hotel sits directly across Monroe Street from the Von Braun Center and borders Big Spring Park.

What they're saying: Emerson, former CEO of Downtown Huntsville, Inc., congratulated the team from Ascent Hospitality on "building a beautiful hotel that is part of the 2017 master plan for downtown, it really is the capstone."
