Des Lux Hotel

Cool property with great breakfast. Quiet for our family sleeping in after being at the state fair until late night.

The hotel was beautiful, the staff was so welcoming and everyone greeted us with a smile. I loved the atmosphere and the room was so big and beautiful. I am a small business owner myself and yes, I will for sure share my experience there with my friends and family.

Loved the location. Easy parking right across the street. Did not see other guests it was great. No kids running up and down halls. We loved our fireplace. The beds are very comfy. Wonderful tall windows. We were on a corner room. It was noisy all night during the work day. Only that was the only negative. Breakfast was ok. Could have been fresher even at 8 am. Nespresso machine did not have any chocolate options. And by next morning they ran out of yogurt parfaits.

I don't even know where to begin. First of all, Sandy and Mary at the front desk are outstanding and went above and beyond to surprise us with some birthday balloons. Totally unexpected and my friend LOVED them. They even offered a ride to dinner which was great as well. They clearly love Des Lux and take a lot of pride, which they should. The space is incredible and I found myself noticing something new every time I entered the lobby. The lobby bathroom with the peacock glitter wallpaper... yes please! Rooms were decorated beautifully. Loved the colors and the exposed brick walls and super spacious bathroom. I worried the beds would be too soft but I slept like a baby. LOVED the firm pillows and already googled them to order some for home! Overall a fantastic space with amazing staff. Can't wait to be back to see how the lobby is decorated for Christmas. Not sure how they can top Halloween. Looking forward to checking out their sister property now in St. Paul.

A little noisy late night (traffic to events) but it stopped around midnight. Slept like a baby.

We always stay at the Des Lux when visiting family in Des Moines and are never disappointed (by the Des Lux, that is) ... It is a wonderful hotel and a great location

It was close to the Performing Arts Center. Easy walk. Mary the desk clerk talked me through the parking garage across the street. very affordable and convenient. Ryan (desk clerk) explained the downtown attributes. The lobby is lush with deco decor!!! Spacious room, well stocked & clean. Breakfast was most welcoming with hot coffee eggs, sausage, potatoes & all the other healthy fruit & cereal stuff. very clean! The Des Lux also has a shuttle. Customer service plus! I will make a point to return and recommended to family & friends. Des Moines Best!!!!
