Revitalizing Downtown

Watch Downtown Muscatine thrive as we invite business leaders, conference planners, and leisure travelers to The Merrill Hotel & Conference Center. Strategically placing our hotel in the heart of the city, along our picturesque river, fuels the economic engine for our community and the State. In fact, the construction project alone translates into 100 jobs and a $38 million impact on the local economy. This along with an estimated 550 jobs and an $81 million impression on Iowa means The Merrill Hotel has placed itself, our city, and our State very well.

Luxury doesn't stop on the interior of The Merrill. Perfectly situated near the gently rolling Mississippi River and the beautifully renovated Riverside Park, our location offers exquisite views.
