Des Lux Hotel
The cool thing about Des Lux Hotel is its central location in downtown Des Moines, making it convenient for exploring the city's attractions and events.
The DesLux is an amazing boutique style hotel (bed and breakfast). Our room was beautifully furnished including a gas fireplace. The high ceiling and large windows made the space feel welcoming and inviting. The updated bathroom was very clean and nicely designed. We enjoyed the 1st floor bar and lounge, as well as the nicely furnished morning breakfast room. The fresh food options were very satisfying. We loved this amazing hotel and can't wait to book our next stay in one of the various boutique rooms or suites. Thank you to the management and staff of the DesLux for a fabulous experience!
Room was AWESOME. Staff was amazing!
The staff at the Des Lux is amazing. This was our second time staying here and a last minute booking. Each and every staff member we encountered during our stay went out of their way to have a meaningful interaction with us. We usually come from Omaha to celebrate our anniversary every October and make another trip back early December to celebrate birthdays and do some Christmas shopping. For a few years we have stayed at another downtown hotel,l that was honestly more affordable. But the attention to detail and sincere personal caring make your hotel now feel like our home away from home after just a few stays. The breakfast is amazing, rooms are clean and well maintained…but at the end of the day it's the genuine personal connection you provide that will bring us back. See you all in December!
Hotel located near our wedding venue. We were able to check in early to be ready for our 4:00. Room was very clean and bathroom excellent. Appreciated the bathmat to be placed in shower.
Beautiful hotel, lovely rooms, love the bar and the bartender the evening of 7/3 was great! Very friendly staff and an elevated continental breakfast in the morning, we will for sure stay again!
