Browse our list of beachfront hotels in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach.  

Gulf Shores and Orange Beach each offer their own take on a coastal getaway. Gulf Shores is known for its lively public beaches, walkable attractions, and family-friendly fun. Orange Beach boasts spacious beachfront accommodations, marinas, and access to nature trails and kayaking. Both are easy to explore and offer great hotel options.

Most Gulf Shores and Orange Beach hotels offer free on-site parking, but it's always a good idea to double-check, especially at beachfront properties where space can be limited.

Yes, more and more hotels are adding EV charging stations to make your trip even easier. While availability varies, several properties offer on-site chargers or are located near public charging stations. If you're driving electric, we recommend checking the hotel's amenities or calling ahead to confirm charger access and type.

It depends on the season. We recommend booking three to six months in advance for summer and holiday weekends. It's best to book at least two months in advance for spring or fall. Winter travelers (especially snowbirds) often book extended stays several months ahead.

Many hotels offer early check-in or late check-out when available, especially during less busy times. It's best to request it when booking or check with the front desk closer to your stay. Some may offer it free of charge, while others may have a small fee.

To cancel or modify your booking, visit the Manage Your Booking page. Here, you will enter your name and itinerary number, which you will find in your confirmation email. Once you’ve entered that information, you can cancel your booking. If you need to modify your reservation, you must call the hotel itself. You can find your hotel’s phone number at the bottom of the Manage Your Booking page. Modifications cannot be made on the Manage Your Booking page.

For warm weather and lively activities, spring and summer are ideal. Fall brings milder weather, fewer crowds, and festivals, while winter offers a quiet, budget-friendly escape for snowbirds.

Families can enjoy swimming, paddleboarding, and dolphin cruises, as well as fishing and snorkeling along the shore. For more excitement, try parasailing or jet skiing to add a thrill to your beach day.
