Welcome to the historic Hotel Pattee. We invite guests to relax in a setting that celebrates the sights and sounds, the people and memories of small town America. A unique reminder of the millions of people who came from all over the world to build our town, our state, and our country. The Hotel Pattee is one of the few hotels where every room and suite tells its own story. Our 40 individually decorated and themed guest rooms preserve history; celebrate ethnicity, honor craftsmanship, and pay tribute to the noteworthy sons and daughters of Iowa and the Midwest. Our historic hotel holds a state of the art bowling center, a full service dining room and lounge, dedicated library, and our own museum collection of art. We look forward to serving you soon!
Star ratings are intended to indicate the general level of features, amenities, and services to expect. This property is classified according to Giata.
I would highly recommend anyone in the area to stay at Hotel Pattee if they have the chance. Not only is it a beautiful, unique hotel, but the customer service was amazing.
Prior to our stay at Hotel Pattee, I had to switch my reservation from Friday night to Saturday. My exchange with the staff (especially Sarah, the Front Desk Manager) was excellent. She easily changed my reservation, quickly provided a new confirmation number and also accepted my request to have the Dutch themed room and a late check-out.
Throughout the month leading up to our stay I reached back out to the staff with a few questions about amenities, etc. and each time I was always blow away by how nice and helpful the staff's responses were.
When it came time to finally stay at Hotel Pattee everything was perfect. Both our restaurant and hotel reservation were exactly as expected, they honored our late checkout time and housekeeping even let us tour a few other rooms on our way out.
I cannot say enough good things about this place! We will be back!

Hotel Pattee is a historic boutique hotel which has been beautifully renovated in the small town of Perry, Iowa. We were wowed from the lobby to our room. The hotel has 40 rooms, all decorated in a different theme. You can select your own room by calling the hotel. Check out their website for photos and descriptions of the rooms.
We stayed in the Italian Room which featured dark wood furniture, an iron bed, heavy drapery and artwork resembling an Italian Villa. The artwork included glass pieces from Italy in its own little niche. (There’s also a Pinocchio figure above the toilet, which can be a little intimidating for males). The bed was comfortable and our room was quiet. My husband’s only “complaint” was that the TV was small, but we didn’t watch much TV. In fact, my husband liked the hotel so much that he wants to return to Iowa just to stay at Hotel Pattee.
The hotel has a restaurant on-site (very good) as well as a bowling alley, library and fitness center. Other than the restaurant, we did not take advantage of the other amenities. The hotel rates (used a AAA discount) were very reasonable and parking was free behind the hotel. We highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing stay.

We stayed at the Hotel Pattee last Friday night. Check in and parking were simple and convenient! The check in staff were helpful.
We had cocktails at the nicely done bar and dinner at the the Pattee Cafe. We also had breakfast there before checking out. The Cafe is not overpriced and had solid Iowa style entrees, not world class but good!
Hotel Pattee is a grand 100 year old plus Hotel in Perry, Iowa, a small town near Des Moines, Iowa. The restoration was a work of care and love.
We stayed in the Italian Room, which was very comfortable. The arts and crafts style hotel is very well restored and maintained and squeaky clean.
The workmanship, wall murals, original art work and Stickley furniture everywhere in the hotel are very nicely done. We understand that the rooms are each done with a different theme.
The Roberta Green Ahmanson family did a nice thing for her home town.
When we are near the area again, we will stay here again!!

My husband and I booked a weekend stay here over Valentine's weekend. We had such a fun time. This hotel is like no other, it is not your standard cookie cutter hotel. You can tell that a lot of money has gone in to making this a very nice and customized hotel with lots of fine details and craftsmanship. We were in the woodworking room and admired the quality wood pieces. The bar area was fun and the bartender Ryan was friendly and we enjoyed visiting with him. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant (Harvey's) and the food was amazing. It was pricey, but well worth it. We had filet mignon and it was cooked to perfection, actually the best steak we have both had. The "hotel salad" was also amazing, not typically my kind of salad, but it was so good. The bourbon carrots were just as good. I'd highly recommend. We had a couples massage in the spa which was very nice and relaxing and we also used the bowling alley. It's nice that this is only 45 minutes away from us, yet it felt like a mini vacation. All of the staff were so friendly and professional. The only downside was that there is no mini fridge in the room and no ice machines. Two things we really needed. Although we were able to purchase cold water from the front desk and got ice from the bar each evening and morning. We will definitely be back.

This was our 3rd stay at Hotel Pattee and was better than ever. Each stay has been in a differently themed room and the decoration is always fun, artistic, historical, and luxurious. We enjoyed a couple of games of bowling in the onsite alley and wonderful meals from Chef Katie! As usual, we brought our bikes and tooled up & down the Raccoon River Valley Trail. Looking forward to the connector to the High Trestle Trail. Included a visit to the Forrest Park Museum and Perry Grand Theater in Perry.

The Pattee was recommended by a relative and we did not expect such a beautiful hotel in Perry Iowa! You have to read the history of it, it is quite fascinating. The hotel is true to its beginnings, and each room different. It is perfectly maintained, all meals are excellent, and the staff is friendly. It is right in between two bike trails that will ultimately join up in Perry, the Raccoon River Valley trail system and the High Trestle Trail. It is absolutely beautiful, even a bowling alley in the basement. Can’t think of anything but positives to say about it. This is in Perry Iowa, northwest of Des Moines.

We first visited the Hotel Pattee some 15+ years ago after winning a bid for a trip there at a charity auction. We had never heard of it, but the brochure about the hotel piqued our interest. And we've been going back since. It is truly a unique place with accommodations with "themed" (but not cheesy) rooms that can make each stay truly unique. I'd encourage you to visit their website to see a sample of just how special it is, although the pictures don't really do it justice. Our latest visit was for our 25th anniversary, and it truly made it a special occasion.
Perry Iowa a destination? You should make it one, the Hotel Pattee is one of a kind, and its' location is part of its' charm.

We were warned ahead of time that a large wedding reception would be going on, but it was the only place to stay that was right on the bicycle trail. (We were arriving on bike's.) It was loud, but the services was truly amazing. Brittany ensured that all of our needs were met and was very accommodating. We hit the bed and had no trouble sleeping all night even though the large party was going on.

I loved this hotel. It was clean and quiet with beautiful decor, including 40 rooms that are each designed with a different theme. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel also has a very good restaurant. We ate two breakfasts and one dinner there and they were all very good including delicious desserts. I would love to come back and visit again someday.

This hotel was an unexpected delight! Everything was charming, from the pleasing lobby scent to the friendly staff to the cute, three-legged dog overseeing the bicycle storage area. Our room (301, the Travel Suite) was very comfortable and whimsically decorated, with details such as a hand-painted headboard and squirrel-themed bathroom tile. Even the view of the hotel roof from our window was an enchanting scene. We went to Iowa to bike the High Trestle Trail, and we're glad we stumbled onto this fun hotel in the process!

I was at Hotel Pattee in December. I do not know if there is a spa on site. I do think they have bike rental. If not at the Hotel, at a business nearby.
There are more places to choose from in the Perry area.
