Hotel Meeting and Conference Event Venues … New, Renovated and Simply Cool in Iowa

Tired of planning events in the usual ballroom at the same old hotel? Would you like to hold your next gathering at a venue where the walls, carpet and drapes are something other than beige? Where the ambience is exciting, new and or just plain cool? Have we got some suggestions for you!

What’s New?

Ah, that new hotel smell. You know what we mean. All the carpet is clean, the sun beams through shiny new windows, the furniture is polished and comfy. Sleeping rooms are roomy, linens are crisp, pillows are fluffy and you know your guests will luxuriate in the comfort. Are you looking for convenience and a central location? Then you’ll love the new DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Cedar Rapids Convention Complex located in downtown Cedar Rapids. Just 15 minutes from Eastern Iowa Airport, the hotel overlooks the Cedar River and Downtown Cedar Rapids, and is attached to the U.S. Cellular Arena and the new U.S. Cellular Convention Center.

Known as one of the finest boutique hotels in the world, the newly re-opened Hotel Pattee features 40 individually decorated and themed guest rooms that preserve history, celebrate ethnicity, honor craftsmanship, and pay tribute to the noteworthy sons and daughters of Iowa and the Midwest.

Nestled on the banks of the Des Moines River in downtown Des Moines, the new Residence Inn Des Moines Downtown offers guests upscale, extended stay, one and two-bedroom suites close to  Principal Park, Court Avenue Entertainment District, Science Center of Iowa and the Iowa Events Center.

Even Better than Before

When a classic hotel gets a face lift, the potential is there to turn something good into something great. That’s definitely the case with the West Des Moines Marriott. Ideally located just eight miles from downtown and one mile from Jordan Creek Town Center, the hotel has a newly renovated event space that can accommodate from 10 to 450 guests. Conveniently located on the University of Iowa campus, the recently refurbished Sheraton Iowa City Hotel offers 234 guestrooms, a lounge, indoor heated pool and all new fitness center.

So hot, it’s cool

Admit it … there’s something to be said for the “cool” factor. You know how it is — everyone who walks through the front door of an awesome space has the same reaction — WOW! That’s what you’ll hear when you book your event at the Hotel Julien Dubuque. Following a $30+ million renovation, modern amenities combine with a historic décor that will transport your guests back to a time of elegance and sophistication. And of course, for the pinnacle of luxury, you simply must find your way to Hotel Blackhawk, Davenport’s premier hotel, offering modern amenities and a rich décor to discriminating guests since 1915.

Not to be overlooked

Finding the ideal hotel that suits your groups’ needs is easier than ever, when you consider all the Iowa’s options, including the Hilton Garden Inn in Ames. Yes, finding it isn’t hard. It’s choosing just one that’s going to keep you up at night.
