With a 50-year history that begins as a legendary supper club and luxury hotel to the stars, The Highlander Hotel Iowa City, an Ascend Collection™ Hotel is now one of Iowa’s most coveted chic boutique hotels. At one point, the likes of Mickey Mantle, Joan Baez and Arnold Palmer graced the halls of our renovated hotel. Today, we are once again making history as one of the most sought after Iowa City hotel destinations offering top-notch entertainment, a delicious complimentary breakfast, and dining, event and hotel services.
Each of our 96 guest rooms offer spacious accommodations with premium bedding, organic bath products, and luxury furnishings. Many poolside and courtyard rooms lead to the pool, a balcony or private patio. Our lobby is home to a swanky lounge and bar that serves premium wine, beer and cocktails together with a selection of mouthnwatering appetizers. Choose from two dining restaurant experiences—romantic and upscale or lively and casual. Either choice will garner you a deliciously prepared meal and a fulfilling experience with our friendly, expert staff.
Our hotel boasts a state-of-the-art fitness center, indoor heated pool with a hot tub and free coffee to keep you energized throughout the day. If you’re planning an important business event or special occasion, our multi-room event venue offers over 7,500 square feet of professionally equipped meeting space.
