Alabama Supreme Court says state's plan for luxury Gulf hotel violates state law - WHNT: "MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — The Alabama Supreme Court says the state government's plan for a luxury hotel at the state park in Gulf Shores violates Alabama law.

The ruling Friday came in a four-year legal battle over plans by Gov. Bob Riley's administration to lease land at Gulf State Park to Auburn University and then have the Atlanta-based West Paces Hotel Group build a luxury hotel on the land."
