Best Luxury Event Venue 2023 - Mobile The Driskell, built in 1911 by famed architect George B. Rogers, will soon become Mobile, Alabama’s premier social club. It is a 5000 sq. ft. venue with a saltwater pool and outdoor space for yoga on the lawn. With a large lawn and well-appointed patios, the venue occupies 1.1-acres. We speak with Murphy Bishop II to find out more about this luxurious venue in the heart of Alabama. A Coastal Hospitality Group property, The Driskell is primed to be Mobile’s premier social club with a planned Summer 2024 opening. Centrally located in Midtown Mobile, The Driskell is the area’s newest and most exciting venue. Despite its historic nature, the space is filled with eclectic art, and the rooms are wellappointed with a modern flair. The Driskell staff is inclusive of a wellrespected, highly skilled Director of Hospitality, who works with each guest to ensure a flawless, personalized experience. The Driskell provides an On-Site Concierge every day who will remain with the guests throughout the duration of their stay. At The Driskell, the team follow an implemented ‘Guest Success Protocol’ for special events, which is in place from the moment a guest enters the building. For every event, an initial walkthrough planning session is undertaken with the booking guest, which is then recapped in a ‘Guess Success Proposal’, with the guest reviewing the work done by the team and either accepting or further amending and updating the proposal. Once the finalised proposal is in place, the Director of Hospitality and the guest refer to this document, using it to craft the building blocks that will guarantee a successful event down the line. This ‘Guest Success Proposal’ is further fortified as other vendors are slotted into the event, with each vendor liaising directly with the Director of Hospitality, and a ‘Vendor Success Proposal’ is created. Once event day is reached, it is this proposal that serves as a final checklist, further making sure all aspects of the event are achieved and expectations of all guests are exceeded. With the intrinsic beauty of the historical building clear for all to see, first impressions are always strong, as the venue beams with charm. This atmosphere is further developed by the team, from the hand-picked music they play through to the flowers that are sprinkled around, a fabulous, sensory experience is achieved immediately upon entry. To add to the personalised nature of the event, the greetings given to guests can be adapted to better reflect the chosen experience, showing that extra level of care has been provided across every stage of the process. In order to further enhance experiences, The Driskell possesses a highly skilled and diverse team, from highly experienced members such as the Director of Hospitality, through to the team of ‘Experience Builders’, who comb social media to come up with inspiration to design custom experiences and further benefit the customer’s journey. The team look for individuals who embody a sense of wonder, sprinkle of creativity, and an affinity for the finer things in life, with a touch of class. As a new Social Club, The Driskell is committed to its goal of going the extra mile to always exceed the expectations of guests and wow clients with fantastic service and offerings. Despite just starting out, the future of The Driskell is bright, with ambitious and detailed plans to grow over the next couple of years. In 2024, a full-service restaurant and bar is planned. The Driskell will continue to evolve and meet the needs of the discerning guest. Contact Details Contact: Murphy Bishop II Company: The Driskell Web Address: https://www.thedriskell.com/
