When The Black Hawk Hotel first opened in 1853, the hotel was a fixture of the community where folks came to share the news of the day. Now, as the second longest operating hotel in the country, we are reinstating the original purpose of the hotel as a place to gather and celebrate! The Black Hawk Hotel is a true reflection of our local roots. Hosting a special event here comes with a beautiful historic backdrop, intimate gathering areas, local food and beverage, and true Midwestern hospitality ideal for receptions, cocktail parties, rehearsal dinners, showers, corporate events and more. Contact us for more information. We would love to host your event!
