Hilton Hotel at Iowa Events Center

The Hilton Des Moines Downtown Hotel features an upscale restaurant and lounge area. This restaurant, called The Park Street Kitchen & Bar, uses natural lighting and modern design to create a space designed for relaxation and enjoyment. They offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner in an inviting atmosphere, as well as an outdoor patio (with a fireplace!), perfect for unwinding over a hot meal or drink with family or colleagues. Weather not ideal for an outdoor meal? Don’t worry, you can still enjoy the warm ambiance of firelight inside, thanks to a unique design feature that utilizes colored light and steam to simulate a fireplace lining the wall.

Their innovative dishes use fresh, local ingredients to create hearty meals that will have their guests hurrying back for another delicious meal overlooking the downtown area. They also support the community by offering regional craft beers.

The behind-the-scenes is no less impressive. The kitchen is expansive and equipped to deal with the wide range of demands that a facility like this might require. From the meals served in the restaurant, to on-demand room service for hotel guests, to catering for large events- they’re ready for everything. The layout allows for versatility, from the main kitchen to the second-floor beverage stations, which offer easy and quick service for events hosted on the floor. There is even a staff cafeteria, allowing employees to enjoy meals while remaining on the premises.

The addition of this events center and its many offerings is sure to enrich downtown Des Moines, providing both a convenient venue for hosting a variety of events, and a place for gathering.
