This hotel is a rare survivor of the days when every downtown had at least one hotel. This being a small city, and it being independent, I was expecting an older property, perhaps a bit threadbare. I was blown away by what I found inside. The whole thing has just been redone, and the interior is really spectacular. I got... more

When we got married, 6 years ago, we stayed our first night of our honeymoon at the Julien Inn. It was nice, but outdated... NOW WOW!!! The new $30 Million renevation has it in a very high class. We stayed there again for our 6th wedding anniversary August 2009. And it was the best. We love their historic charm, which... more

This hotel has just went through a complete remodel which was a few million dollars in restoration. The lobby was restored back to its original grandeur with beautiful woodwork everywhere. The grand ballroom upstairs would be great for a wedding/reception. The staff was wonderful and very accommodating. They would go above and beyond to see that you were satisfied. We... more

We're just driving down the beautiful scenic river roads from Minnesota enjoying the spectacular fall colors, and we land in Dubuque. And you wonder what lovely karma looked you up and led you here to enjoy the rich, extravagant architecture of an older and more elegant era. This town is over the top....it's a jaw dropper. And then you walk... more

It had just reopened, some of the things weren't open yet, but we got a fantastic rate through Expedia. I was so impressed with our room, expensive looking... more

My husband and I had a wonderful weekend get away in Dubuque--and a large part of that "wonderful" was because we stayed at the Julien Inn. My first impulse after check in (very pleasant, efficient front desk staff) was to explore the incredibly inviting, guest-friendly lobby. The centerpiece of the lobby is this sweeping staircase which leads to an open... more

My husband and I booked the Hotel Julien's introductory rate room for a one night stay in mid-July. We are familiar with Dubuque and we have watched as the renovation of this downtown hotel has progressed We were eager to stay there. The renovation is not complete. Upon arrival the main entrance was blocked by sawhorses and we were directed... more

I am handicapped so we needed a walk-in shower in our suite. Bathroom was very handicapped accessible and large, which was very nice. Clean, comfortable, large suite, big screen TV, snacks and wine available (for $$). Extremely quiet, no disturbances. High quality linens and towels, plenty of hot water at high pressure. Very pleasant stay with no problems, friendly staff.... more
