Property Description

Stay where the presidents stayed at the historic Hotel Fort Des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton. Experience contemporary sophistication that rings with charm from its storied past. Our boutique hotel first opened in 1919 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building evokes nostalgia, from the moment you step into the grand two-story lobby, resonating all the way to our beautifully restored grand ballroom. Boasting a prime location in the heart of downtown Des Moines, staying with us means you are near all that the city has to offer. This classic brick style hotel is an eight-minute walk from Western Gateway Park and less than two miles from the Iowa State Capital. Revel in fantastic downtown views from our modern guest rooms. Sink into plush bedding while taking comfort with amenities like complimentary WiFi, refrigerators, smart HDTVs, and coffeemakers. Opt for a suite and sprawling spacious living areas, or spoil yourself in our sumptuous Presidential Suite. With 14,000 sq. ft. of meeting space, the Hotel Fort Des Moines is the perfect place to host corporate trainings, team building events, seminars, and weddings. A full banquet team can meet the needs for hosted dinners, work lunches, or quick coffee breaks. Enjoy hearty fare at Proudfoot and Bird, our award-winning fine dining restaurant with elevated wine offerings, and sip your favorite cocktail from our speakeasy, In Confidence. Proudfoot and Bird, named for the original Hotel Fort Des Moines architects, pays homage to the glamorous days of years past with every detail. The space is adorned with stunning marble tables, intricate gold ceiling inlay and plush soft seating, as well as a grand circular bar. We have recreated a time that was filled with elegance extravagance and indulgence. Pair your favorite wine with a scrumptious selection of sweets at our coffee and wine bar HobNob.

Miss Information

December 8, 2025

The snowstorms have started early in Iowa so I was extremely happy to walk into the warm hotel and check in. The desk clerk was friendly but not overly so. Check in was very quick and I was quickly on my way to a beautiful and blessedly warm room. Noise was a bit loud as wedding guests came in after 1am and I was near the elevators. Check out was seamless and breakfast at the hotel cafe was quick, friendly and tasty.

Excellent stay. From the beginning, the front desk representative was very polite and professional and we felt welcome and well taken care of until the very end. The Speakeasy bar was also a great find. Highly recommended. Great hotel.
