Best Hotels in Decatur

Decatur is well known for its river and lakeside views - it sits on the coast of Lake Wheeler and just on the banks of the Tennessee. This charming Alabama town attracts hundreds of thousands of people annually, primarily for its summer festivals. For instance, the Alabama Jubilee is the oldest hot air balloon race south of the Mason-Dixon line and has inspired the Alabama legislature to crown it "The Ballooning Capital of Alabama." The Spirit of America festival is one of the largest Fourth of July festivals in the South that revelers can attend free of cost. The weather in Decatur is warm year around, but be sure to bring plenty of sunscreen and water when summer rolls around; Decatur definitely gets hot!
