Iowa’s Most Beautiful Riverfront Resort Is The Perfect Place For A Luxurious Getaway

First opening its doors in 1915, the Blackhawk Hotel in Davenport has gained a reputation as one of Iowa's most historic and storied hotels - playing host to countless celebrities and even U.S. Presidents over the years. Today, it stands tall on the banks of the Mississippi River as one of the state's premier riverfront resorts - and it's so much more than just a great place to lay your head. So step inside for a vacation or staycation and discover all this amazing riverfront getaway has in store for you.

The towering shadow of the Hotel Blackhawk can be seen around Davenport - and there's a reason it's the most famous hotel in Iowa.

As soon as you step inside, you'll feel like you're in another world - one of vintage luxury and old-school service.

If you reserve one of their famous suites, you'll find yourself in an incredibly roomy accommodation that feels like a home away from home.

The hotel is only a fifth of a mile away from the riverfront, so if you luck out, you'll find up with one of Iowa's best views greeting you every morning.

The soft beds feel like a pillow as you lay down every night - but you won't want to spend too much time there, because the hotel is packed with activities!

If you're looking to unwind, don't miss a visit to the spa, featuring a wide range of services guaranteed to help you relax.

You won't even have to leave the hotel to enjoy a fine dinner thanks to Bix Bistro - one of Davenport's top dining destinations.

The bar and lounge offers a wide menu of fine spirits and hand-mixed cocktails to go with your meal.

Every detail here is carefully planned by the culinary team - even the surprisingly delicious bread offerings.

But don't fill up - you'll want to indulge in the restaurant's seasonal menu of specialties including wild game, all beautifully plated.
