History

Our majestic structure originally opened in 1915. We have hosted Presidents, entertainers, and legendary athletes and the Quad Cities’ Captains of Industry call our luxury apartments home.  Whether staying overnight or dining to celebrate a special occasion, Hotel Blackhawk is the place to be and to be seen. Our extensive menu and reasonable prices allow locals and guests to call Bix Bistro Davenport’s Dining Room.

Following an extensive $46 million renovation, we re-opened in 2010. The hotel reigns supreme as the landmark destination in the Quad Cities and known for The Gold Room which is the destination in the QC for dream weddings. We offer luxury service at affordable prices and our culinary team is happy to create a menu to fit any budget or discerning palate.

Top local, regional and national companies call Hotel Blackhawk their home away from home, for business meetings and conferences. We work with over 70 corporations who choose Hotel Blackhawk for their primary hotel of choice.  If you travel frequently, we are happy to discuss your needs and secure your organization a favorable rate.

Additionally, we offer leisure travelers a myriad of weekend packages to choose from.  We are in the heart of downtown, located next to the Adler Theater and River Center, and two blocks from the Figge Art Museum and offer free self and valet parking. So whether you want to play where the pros play at the TPC at Deere Run, relax in the Spa at Hotel Blackhawk or just sleep in and enjoy our Sunday Jazz Brunch at the award-winning Bix Bistro, you have found much more than a hotel!
