Luxury Hotel Condo in Downtown Des Moines

Relax in this 1920s historical Liberty Mutual building condo. Bask in the abundant light from the large windows atop this ninth floor condo in the Hyatt Place Hotel. View the sunset over the State Capital and the iconic Travelers sign. Pick out some vinyl to play on the stereo. Enjoy our collection of original artwork or read a book from our eclectic biography library. Revel in a beautiful nights sleep, and wake from your new I10 Sleep Number King size bed, to the view from the bedroom or living room of the brilliant sunrise over the State Capital or the iconic Travels Insurance sign. Make yourself a Nespresso coffee. Use the gym or take a swim. Fitness room on the lower level open 24/7. Saturdays, stroll the Farmers Market for fresh farm to table eats, to the fully equipped gourmet kitchen. Enjoy one of the two 60 inch Smart TV's with Direct TV and high speed WiFi, or put a record on the 1973 record player, and while away the day. Secured parking space located across the street and attached to the Skywalk System. I can always be reached by phone or email. I'm happy to recommend a favorite local restaurant or share my love of all new and exciting events happening in the DT Des Moines area. The condo is nestled in the heart of downtown Des Moines where you can savor an award-winning dinner, enjoy a Broadway play or concert, emerse yourself in the Public Arts, the Midwests largest Farmers Market or an I-Cub baseball game, all within walking distance, outside or in the sky walk access system. Des Moines is a city for all seasons. Its no wonder Des Moines was voted the #4 best city to visit by U.S. News Report. The Liberty Building has been a downtown landmark since 1923 and is located in a wonderful downtown neighborhood. We personally know and love our neighbors and they are very supportive of our Air BNB. They are friendly, helpful and we only ask that you please be courteous to them and their property and keep noise levels low at early and late hours.
