Blackhawk Hotel, Davenport, Iowa, on the National Register of Historic Places, United States
Blackhawk Hotel is an eleven-story Renaissance Revival building in downtown Davenport with a facade of dark brick and white terra cotta. Its arched windows and decorative stonework show the architectural style from the early 1900s, creating an elegant appearance typical of that era.
Built in 1915 with seven stories during a period of economic growth in Davenport, the hotel was expanded with four additional floors in 1920. Over its history, it underwent multiple renovations and changes in ownership as the city evolved.
The name references the Blackhawk Native American group that once inhabited this region. Inside, visitors can see design elements from the 1920s, including original chandeliers and marble floors that make you feel like you have stepped back in time.
Located downtown near the RiverCenter and Adler Theatre, the hotel is well positioned to explore the city on foot. It offers rooms, a restaurant, fitness center, and pool, so you can find most services you need in one place.
A bowling alley in the lower level was restored during a major renovation in 2010 and is a rare feature visitors often overlook. A restored grand piano where famous jazz bands once performed still stands as a reminder of the hotel's glamorous past.
