“If you want it they have it!”
+This is my favorite hotel. Want to treat yourself. It has an amazing Presidential Sweet.Drinks are top shelf, service is amazing, cleanliness is a standard. The beds are so comfortable you don't want to leave. You can get a relaxing fireplace,jetted tub and amazing service without ever leaving the room. This is the luxury I live for. I never do anything half way it's all or nothing. Bring friends ,come alone but you're always getting a bargain no matter what you spend. I always come back here.

“Great stay in the heart of Des Moines!”
+On a road trip around Iowa to visit colleges, we stayed in five different hotels in five nights. At the end of the trip when I asked my kids what their favorite was, they unanimously chose the Des Lux. It was comfortable and quirky, and the staff were friendly and helpful.

“Great Stay in the City!!”
+We were very impressed with the Des Lux. We have family in Des Moines and have been trying different hotels each stay and the Des Lux is by far a favorite. Comfortable beds, well appointed rooms. Breakfast was excellent. Appreciated that there was a city lot across the street as well as amble street parking. Also appreciated that there was always someone available at the front desk. We will be staying again.

“Fantastic! Will be going back.”
+Des Lux was great! A neat building with history. Very clean. The bar area is nice and the breakfast was better than expected with lots of options and grab-n-go items. We didn't get to use it but the gym is also very nice with more workout and spa equipment than most. We have a wedding for a friend coming up in July. Even though Des Lux is further from the venue for us, we are still going to book a room with them.

“Fun experience”
+If you value history or just oddities like I do, this hotel is a true gem. The amenities are modern but the atmosphere is like walking into the early 1900’s. There is a ton of history in this building and it is displayed in a comfortable and elegant style.

“Definitely not a cookie-cutter chain hotel!”
+The hotel doesn’t take themselves too seriously, and indeed the lobby has a dark, goth and really quirky ground floor. Think of it as the Cabinet of Curiosities. There are big book cases, Egyptian and Greek statues, a grand piano and exposed brickwork. It’s an old gentleman’s club they have converted to a hotel. The place had so much character, a lot of it quirky. Upstairs, my room was huge, with a sitting chair, desk, giant credenza, 2 sinks in the bathroom, small fridge and a coffee machine. This is in addition to an old fashioned looking phone and a bedside clock. It was really cool and retro, but all quite modern. I loved the place, and was disappointed I could only spend one night. They also included a decent breakfast in the room rate. There is no free parking, but rather it is $10 per day for the garage across the street.

“Wonderful!”
+We went for a romantic night away and had a wonderful time. Mary at the front desk was so great and accommodating and made sure we had the best time! The room was amazing - we had the getaway suite - it was incredible! We also added the romance package - it was great!
