Flying Fifty Hotel coming to Cullman in 2024

The Flying Fifty Hotel, a boutique-style hotel, is set to open in March 2024 on the southwest side of Cullman.

Owners Challie Johnson Knetter and Paul Knetter said they wanted to bring something different to the community. 

“There was a need for upscale hotel options in Cullman,” Challie Johnson Knetter said. “The Flying Fifty not only provides luxurious accommodations, but also showcases the unique charm of Cullman and Alabama. We’ve opted for a hybrid self-check-in system, similar to what you’d find in smaller boutique hotels, to keep things convenient and straightforward for our guests. Our aim is to create an experience that goes beyond just a place to stay. We want our guests to immerse themselves in the local community, experiencing the flavors and history that make Cullman special.”
