About this property

Skyline Lounge - Views, Gym, Sauna, & Free Parking

  • 🏙️ Welcome to Skyline Lounge, an elevated downtown escape perched on the 11th floor of the historic Kirkwood Hotel, where skyline views, comfort, and city energy collide.

    🍳 Fully Stocked Kitchen
    Enjoy full-size appliances, cookware, baking essentials, and a coffee setup to power your mornings. Traveling with a little one? A Pack ’n Play, high chair, and kid-friendly plates make family stays simple and stress-free.

    💻 Work + Relax
    In-unit washer and dryer, fast WiFi, a dedicated workspace, and two Smart Roku TVs (living room + bedroom) make it easy to balance productivity and downtime.

    🏋️‍♀️🔥 Building Amenities

i was in Des Moines for a few days of cycling and hanging out and this location was great! the apartment was clean and spacious and had everything i needed plus i could get to any of a dozen cycling trails from the apartment or in under 20 minutes by car. also the east village area is walking distance and very fun!
