Luxury accommodations in Downtown Des Moines

Really enjoyed the Des Lux. All of the staff were wonderful from the front desk, breakfast staff, housekeeping and bar. We splurged on Room 504--a decadent suite on the top floor with high ceilings, tons of windows looking down Locust, fireplace, wet bar, jacuzzi tub and separate shower. The room was quiet and relaxing. The only things missing were a robe hook in the bathroom and wine glasses. Water glasses are provided, but actual wine glasses would be nice. The bar was closed on Sunday, but there are other options nearby downtown, and with the mini bar, ice a few steps away down the hall, and Instacart, you can easily relax with a drink in your room. Parking is easy and inexpensive in the garage across the street. There is a beautiful lounge area in the lobby where we hung out with family members, who also stayed at Des Lux. The bartender on Friday and Saturday of our stay was really nice. Overall, Des Lux has a vintage, boutique feel that is difficult to find where I currently live in central Oregon. We'll definitely stay at the Des Lux again when we return to Des Moines!

Beautiful hotel. Clean rooms. Nice restaurant. Fun Speakeasy. Connected to the Skywalk. Parking is close if you don't want to use the valet.

Great breakfast, wonderful staff, and a great view of the capitol and the river.
