Hotels

The majority of the state's accommodations are of the chain variety; consult the Iowa Tourism Office for information on lodging and reservations. Noteworthy hotels in Iowa include Des Moines's Suites of 800 Locust Hotel & Spa (tel. 515/288-5800; www.800locust.com), the city's only boutique property and its best hotel; and, just 40 minutes north of Des Moines in the city of Perry, the Hotel Pattee (tel. 888/424-4268 or 515/465-3511; www.hotelpattee.com), a luxury property and National Historic Landmark whose 40 rooms and suites are individually decorated to pay tribute to historical figures from the Midwest.

Iowa's B&Bs range in style from historic properties to farmhouses. For information on available options, contact the Iowa Bed & Breakfast Guild, 9001 Hickman Rd., Ste. 220, Des Moines, IA 50322 (tel. 800/743-4692; www.ia-bednbreakfast-inns.com). One especially lovely choice in Des Moines is the multi-award-winning Butler House on Grand (tel. 866/455-4096 or 515/255-4096; www.butlerhouseongrand.com), whose romantic and exquisitely decorated rooms have been cited by many, including being named one of the top 10 B&B's for business travelers by USA Today.
