The Black Hawk Hotel

The Black Hawk Hotel is a 167 year old independent boutique hotel located in the heart of downtown Cedar Falls, steps away from the city's best dining, shopping, and entertainment. We are also located next to the picturesque Cedar River and its 100+ miles of walking and bike trails, and just a 5 minute drive from the UNI Campus. The Black Hawk Hotel is listed on the National Trust of Historic Places, and is the oldest continuously operated hotel west of the Mississippi River (and second oldest in the country!). As of June 2019, The Black Hawk Hotel is now home to Bar Winslow, a Prohibition-inspired craft cocktail bar, and Farm Shed, a farm-to-table brunch cafe, where guests receive a complimentary breakfast with their stay. The historic building offers 28 guest suites outfitted with antique furnishings, while the adjacent Retro Motel offers 15 king rooms with midcentury furnishings and original art. Both facilities are outfitted with the modern conveniences demanded by today's sophisticated travelers at an affordable price point. Our Concierge Services are available around-the-clock for connecting you with the best of Cedar Falls (reservations, tickets, bike tours, etc.), or coordinating tasks to make your stay more enjoyable (dry cleaning, printing services, etc.).
