In 2013, with the economy turning positive and a friendly bank by our side, we began construction on our dream of building a facility that no other hotel offered. A room that would seat one thousand people, that was divisible, that was supported by a 4,000 sq. ft. foyer and large restrooms. A room with 20-foot ceilings, state of the art audio/visual systems, electrical outlets in the floors and walls and a door that would allow any size vehicle to drive right into the room.
We opened July 16th, 2014 with our first convention of 700 people ready to enjoy our new facility. We then had a Grand Opening on September 4th and GRAND it was. Looking back, I think it was one of the best nights of my life. It was a beautiful facility that I had dreamed of for years, but it was much more than that.
Equally as breathtaking, our 34,000 square feet of meeting and event space promises top-of-the-line technological conveniences, a wealth of customization options, versatility, on-site catering, and much more. Whether you are looking to host a political rally, fundraising banquet, intimate meeting, tradeshow, or dog show, your ideal venue is right here at the Des Moines Airport Holiday Inn.
