The Top Hotel Near Dave's Fox Head Tavern
-
A hotel that actually leans into its college-town identity, the Graduate sits right by the University of Iowa campus and decorates like someone's very well-read aunt. Bookshelves everywhere, a nod to the legendary Iowa Writers' Workshop down the road. You'll share the lobby with visiting parents and the occasional poet. It's a Hilton property, so the comfort is predictable in the best way, with a lot more personality than you'd expect.
