About This Space
Tucked inside The William, this Atrium Loft pairs modern design with calm, natural light.
Large interior windows overlook the building’s open-air atrium — a bright, skylit space above Carrigan’s restaurant and the entry lounge. It’s a peaceful retreat with soft daylight and a quiet hum of the city below.
Inside, you’ll find a queen bed, a queen memory-foam pullout sofa, a dedicated workspace with fast Wi-Fi, and a Bluetooth-enabled record player with a curated vinyl collection featuring Alabama favorites and timeless classics.
The kitchen is fully equipped with chef’s knives, assorted spices, small-batch teas, reusable paper towels, and premium coffee gear — French press, Chemex, burr grinder, and locally roasted beans.
Designed and managed by StayBham, every detail — from linens to bath amenities — is chosen for comfort, style, and ease.
