Lincoln Hotel in Lowden, Iowa

I came across a blog for Iowa B&Bs and there was a recent entry for the Lincoln Hotel in Lowden.

It is located at the junction of the Herbert Hoover and Lincoln highways. It has served Lincoln Highway travelers since 1915 and was completely restored in 1996, receiving Iowa's "Best Restoration Award" and listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

According to the blog entry, it has five suites and features a gourmet breakfast as an option. I checked out the whole blog and found a total of eight entries for the Lincoln Hotel. I didn't look for others along the LH, though.

This appears to be a great place to spend a night.

Michael Wallis' new book mentions it, but says it also has apartments. Brian Butko's "Greetings from the Lincoln Highway" from a few years ago says it has two hotel rooms and five apartments. They must have turned the apartments into hotel rooms.

Butko also went on to tell about the Herbert Hoover Highway, which was designated in 1923 because of his food relief relief program which fed an estimated 318 million people of war and drought in Europe and the Soviet Union.
