I had a fantastic stay! The super shower design was a highlight, and the live music at the speakeasy made for a fun evening. Breakfast options were delicious and reasonably priced.

steps away from parks and vibrant downtown attractions

The beds were super comfortable, and the hotel staff provided excellent service, making my stay truly enjoyable. plus, being just less than a 5-minute walk from the Grand Hall at the Temple for Performing Arts and only about 500 meters from Pappajohn Sculpture Park allowed for some fantastic city strolls amidst beautiful landmarks.

We had a fantastic stay with very comfortable beds, perfect after exploring nearby parks. The hotel was conveniently close to many family-friendly restaurants that we enjoyed walking to for dinner.

My kids wished there were more pools for splashing around.

Couple looking for a historical experience

The lobby, with its polished brass and wooden paneling, really had that old-school charm that took me back. I mean, the shuttle service was flawless to our event -- they really know what they're doing, which is rare these days.

It wasn’t exactly wallet-friendly, but I guess it wasn’t terrible either.

Absolutely loved the spacious room and the charming café with fresh produce! The historic décor throughout the hotel was a good experience.

Recommend for a city trip

Comfortable room, convenient location, with a fitness center and bar/lounge area available for guests to enjoy after exploring the city.

None

The suite offered excellent space with a small kitchen and a separate living room, making it feel like home. Though the bathroom could use some improvement, the overall character of the hotel added a unique charm to the stay. The convenient location near local attractions and a fantastic dining experience at Django were highlights. However, the noise from the hall was noticeable, impacting comfort after a long day out.

Hotel Fort Des Moines, Curio Collection By Hilton boasts elegant décor and rich history. The accessibility to the downtown skywalk made exploring town so easy and pleasant. The staff were wonderfully attentive, making sure my stay was comfortable.

Elevators were a bit slow during peak hours.

Elegant Decor and Attentive Staff

I had a wonderful stay where the elegant decor really stood out and made my experience feel special. The access to the downtown skywalk was a significant advantage, making it easy to explore the area. The staff were attentive and ensured my comfort throughout my visit. However, the elevators could be a bit slow during peak hours, which was slightly inconvenient.

My stay at Curio Collection was very positive. The location is excellent, providing easy access to downtown attractions and restaurants. The King room was spacious, impeccably clean, and featured a very comfortable bed. The staff was attentive, ensuring my needs were met during my stay, which made my business trip considerably smoother.

Elevators were occasionally slow during busy hours.

Comfortable beds and quiet rooms, but outdated decor makes it feel less inviting.

Charming, Charming, Charming

I adored the historic charm of my King Room! The luxurious bedding, and I couldn’t get enough of the good high-end toiletries in the bathroom! Plus, the onsite dining options, especially Proudfoot & Bird, tantalized my taste buds with their locally sourced dishes.

Had a delightful stay for a family trip to the Downtown Farmers' Market. The modern decor throughout the hotel really stood out, and my room was updated and spotless. I particularly appreciated how peaceful it was. I didn't hear any noise from neighboring rooms or the hallways. The staff was accommodating, and the breakfast from nearby Hobnob was delicious and hit the spot!

I loved the spacious King Room, it had the MOST comfortable bed ever! 📅 While the lobby was stunning, I wish breakfast was included. Overall, a great stay!
