Des Lux Hotel

Very clean hotel with excellent service from staff. Parking is easy across the street, but you have to pay for parking.

Great property! Upscale and personal feel. Beautiful decor. Sparkling clean and convenient, reasonably-priced parking in garage across the street. Gorgeous rooms and awesome breakfast. Location is perfect for the Des Moines Art Festival and other events downtown. Friendly staff and lots of great dining nearby. Wonderful stay! I will be back!

Fun decor! Hot tub was great. I appreciated the shuttle service from the airport. Nice bar in the lobby. Overall, really liked this hotel!

Very friendly staff, free shuttle to the airport, located in the downtown area which has skywalks connecting all major buildings, excellent complimentary breakfast, the rooms have huge space, and are well modeled

My husband and I stayed here while traveling (halfway point). Upon arrival the staff was friendly, room was clean and spacious, breakfast options were great!

The Hotel is absolutely Gorgeous.The staff is extremely friendly and helpful especially Zach at the fro t desk. Have us wonder restaurant options with a free shuttle ride too and back if we didn’t want to walk. We were in town for a concert at Wells Fargo Arena and got a complimentary shuttle saving us an Uber ride. Zach is right Best Martinis in Des Moines ( he dared us to proof him wrong- we couldn’t ) Small Hotel (51 rooms) in Downtown Des Moines is 5 🌟

The hotel was the perfect size. Not too big or too small. Check in was seamless and parking was very close (across the street). The decor was beautiful.

First of all there was no valet available and only parking was in ramp across the street. Hotel was beautiful and very nice spa. The bar was not opened and breakfast was cold ar 7:30 a.m. No restaurant or vending machine. Only snacks available in room for charge. Was a little noisy being downtown outside and bed was just ok but not extremely comfortable.

There was so much I wanted to like about this hotel but the overall experience fell flat. Our room hadn’t been used for what seemed to be a while and there was dust on the glassware in the bathroom and by the mini bar. Everything was closed around town or not open. No sort of food could be ordered at the bar. The staff was so nice and friendly but they had very little to offer in terms of additional service or suggestions for surrounding convenience and things to do while in town. God forbid anyone step out side the hotel to try and walk around in town, because it doesn’t feel safe at all. Sadly there were a lot of visible drug use we witnessed going on in the link walkway connecting the hotel to adjacent parking and apartments. Yikes!!!! Then at night we couldn’t sleep because there was someone literally Racing circles around the blocks of the hotel on a motorcycle until about 2 in the morning. I was exhausted and ready to leave in the morning. Goodbye Des Moines and Des Lux Hotel.

The hotel was beautiful and smelled so nice! We really enjoyed our couple’s massage. We walked a little over a block to a great Italian restaurant. Car felt safe in the parking garage across the street. Front desk staff was incredibly kind
