The Highlander Hotel is a revival of Iowa City’s 1967 Highlander Inn and Supper Club, an iconic destination that counted luminaries such as Joan Baez, Mickey Mantle, and Arnold Palmer as clientele. After undergoing a multimillion-dollar renovation, it has been reimagined as an independent, hip urban resort that captures the nostalgic vibe of the era. The Highlander is a break from the ordinary with its giant indoor pool with clerestory overhead doors that open to the courtyard where bocce ball, cornhole, giant chess, and ping pong await. Boho-chic-inspired guestrooms and suites complement the lobby bar with its patio and firepit. Also adding to the vibe is the Snack Shack serving milkshakes, cocktails, and pizza poolside and the 1967 Supper Club, now a retro cocktail arcade, with its original sunken bar restored. The Highlander also hosts intergenerational family vacations on the weekends and serves as an epic venue blending business and leisure for groups and meetings during the week. The hotel was recently inducted into Historic Hotels of America, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation for recognizing and celebrating the finest historic hotels in the U.S.
