We are happy to announce we are accepting new reservations at The Black Hawk Hotel beginning May 8
April 24, 2020
Dear Guests: The Black Hawk has been a place of respite for over 167 years, and while there are surely still trying times ahead, we are confident we can safely begin welcoming guests back to the historic hotel.
However, it’s clear that the hospitality industry is suffering from the effects of COVID-19 worldwide, and we’re not immune. The effects are felt even in our small town, by our small hotel, and by the 20+ people who are employed by the hotel. We fully support the shop local movement, and encourage you to “stay local” as well. By doing so, you are helping the second longest continuously operating hotel in the country keep its doors open for the next 167 years. We sincerely appreciate your loyalty to our independent, locally-owned hotel during this tough time.
In response to the uncertainty ahead, we are working hard to broaden our offerings into new areas with the same level of service and celebration of community that you know us for. Keep up with us on our website and social media pages for a series of announcements in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, please read about the new policies we’re implementing with our reopening to remain committed to the safety of our guests and staff. And please consider this a personal invitation to book your next stay with us!
We continue to wish you well and look forward to seeing you again.
The Black Hawk Hotel Team
Retro Motel Open to Healthcare Professionals
In an effort to serve our community through COVID-19, we have made the decision to open the retro motel to healthcare professionals who need a place to safely quarantine. We will donate half of the revenue from these reservations back to the local health system’s foundations. If you are a healthcare professional and would like to make a reservation, call the hotel at 319-277-1161. Daily and weekly reservations available.
Welcome to the Historic Black Hawk Hotel.
The Black Hawk Hotel is owned by and cared for by locals; we’re always eager to show guests why we love our historic hotel and community so much. Our concierge will show you how to experience Cedar Falls like a local–just ask!
Now more than ever, we’re committed to keeping the second longest operating hotel in the country operational.
In response to these new times, we’re expanding our offerings into events and extended stays with the same focus of Midwestern hospitality and eye for detail you’ve come to know us for.
Thank you for choosing to “Stay Local” and helping The Black Hawk Hotel keep its doors open for the next 167 years.
