The opening of Des Moines’ first connected convention center hotel, the $101 million, 330-room Hilton Des Moines Downtown, earlier this year was just the start of refreshed hotel offerings in Greater Des Moines. This fall, the Des Moines Marriott Downtown hosted an unveiling and ribbon cutting to highlight the $18 million modernization project to Iowa’s largest hotel. The project included a transformed porte cochere, innovated lobby concept, redesigned concierge lounge, 403 renovated guest rooms and 10 highly-appointed guest suites. The modernized rooms feature new beds, state-of-the-art connectivity and mobile key access. |
