LivSmart Suites by Hilton

LivSmart Suites is self-described as “a lower midscale, long-stay hotel brand offering simplicity, consistency and convenience to guests who may be traveling for weeks or months at a time.”

It could provide another option in town for short-term contract jobs, single-semester stays for grad students and more.

Each room will be equipped with:

  • Full-size refrigerator
  • Dishwasher
  • Microwave
  • Two-burner stovetop
  • Extended storage space

But the property hopes to also provide reasons to leave your room without ever leaving the campus. The hotel will have:

  • Retail market
  • Laundry room
  • Fitness center
  • Outdoor fire pits
  • Grills

“Combining modern style, fresh energy, and Hilton’s renowned hospitality, this project is shaping a bright future for Opelika — and we couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead!”
