Welcome to The Highlander Hotel
A Retro Revival of the 1967 original Highlander Inn and Supper Club in Iowa City, Iowa
Can’t get no satisfaction from buzz-killing, soulless chain hotels? Want to break on through to the other side at an uber-luxe crash pad where you can turn on, tune in, drop out and counter culture in psychedelic fashion?
Power up your inner Fleetwood Mac, and go your own way at Iowa City’s trippiest new urban resort, The Highlander Hotel. Picture chic meets shag. Five-star meets rock star. With new surprises and delights at every turn(table). Think you’ll find any of this at a hotel chain? Dream On.
Looking for a laid-back vibe? You'll find that at The Highlander Hotel. Or, if you want a family-friendly, rockstar party atmosphere with kids splashing in the pool, we can deliver on that too. The best part? The Highlander Hotel is pet friendly, so you don't have to leave Fido at home!
