HOTEL JULIEN, DUBUQUE
Located right downtown and has hosted many important folks over the years, including Abraham Lincoln, "Buffalo Bill" Cody and Mark Twain. In 2009, a major renovation project was undertaken and the result is a hotel with 133 luxury rooms and suites along with the restoration of the historic lobby and Grande Ballroom.
Since 1839, a hotel or inn has occupied the site. The hotel was destroyed by fire in 1913 and the current structure was rebuilt in 1915. Reportedly, Al Capone at one time owned it.
Sylvester Stallone stayed there while filming the movie "F.I.S.T."
This is one of the two hotels on the list that we have stayed at.
