The best places to drink and stay in Des Moines, according to the experts: the Michelin Guide and the James Beard Awards have both weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Surety Hotel comes out on top.
-
Named for one of the building's original tenants, this hotel in a century-old downtown tower pays tribute to Des Moines past and present without making it a history lesson. Mid-century modern interiors run throughout, and rooms come with Sferra linens and original work from local artists on the walls. The on-site Mulberry Street Tavern is worth knowing about on its own. The Michelin Guide includes it among its selected hotels.
