Warrior Hotel, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in Woodbury County, Iowa
The Warrior Hotel is an 11-story building with Art Deco design in Sioux City. The brick structure with terra cotta ornaments displays geometric shapes and sharp lines typical of that architectural style.
The hotel opened in 1930 as the city was growing, but just before the Great Depression. Architect Alonzo Gentry from Kansas City designed the building, which was financed by local business leaders.
The hotel's name reflects the city's history and character. Visitors can see how the Art Deco style expressed elegance and modernity when the building first opened in the 1930s.
The building is easily accessible in downtown Sioux City and stands out with its geometric forms and brick walls. Visitors can view the restored exterior and public entrance area at any time.
The building sat empty and unused for over 40 years before being fully restored beginning in 2018. The Marriott Group invested significantly to recover the original Art Deco style and bring the hotel back to life.
