Nestled in the junction of Old Lincoln and Herbert Hoover Highways the historic Lincoln Hotel B&B is one of the area’s premiere bed and breakfast inns.  Originally built in 1915, it once served to accommodate workers and travelers on the Pacific and Northwestern Railroads and the original Lincoln Highway.  The hotel has been meticulously restored and maintained.  The 3600 square foot hotel features all the original woodwork, including a beautifully refinished staircase in the front lobby, the original front porch with hanging swing, all new electrical, plumbing, and hot water registers.  The 4 beautifully decorated guest rooms each have a private en-suite bath, cable TV and air conditioning.  The innkeepers were presented the Best Restoration Award in Iowa from then Governor Branstead and the hotel was featured on the popular Public Television show “Living in Iowa” in 1996. The building is on both the Iowa and National Historic Registries.  For more information please visit our website at www.lincolnhoteliowa.com.
