It’s cycling week in Iowa, which means it’s time to refresh on bike safety and take a ride to the Hotel Pattee. 😉

Did you know?

What started as a friendly challenge between Des Moines Register feature writer/copy editor John Karras and columnist Don Kaul turned into an Iowa tradition! In 1973, just 114 cyclists set out on the very first six day bicycle ride across Iowa. By 1975, it was clear this ride wasn't going anywhere. It officially became RAGBRAI (Register's Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa)!

The RAGBRAI Room at the Hotel Pattee takes on the spirit of the annual ride.

You'll find:
🚲 Bright primary colors
🚲 Vintage black-and-white photos from past rides
🚲 Embroidered patches
🚲 Bedspreads inspired by Iowa highways
🚲 Folk and fine art celebrating cycling culture

On your next stay, be sure to check out the one-of-a-kind furniture created by California artist and sculptor Rob Brennan, who transformed found objects into creative headboards, tables, and lamps that perfectly capture the adventurous spirit of Iowa's legendary rides.

Ride safe! And Happy RAGBRAI LIII!

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of the beloved Lopso.

Lopso was such an important part of our story at Hotel Pattee. He happily greeted the many guests and friends he met over the years, bringing smiles, comfort, and joy to everyone who walked through our doors. His gentle spirit and friendly nature made him a cherished member of our family and a memorable part of so many visits.

We are deeply grateful for the love so many of you showed him throughout his life. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten. Thank you for keeping Lopso in your thoughts as we remember the happiness he brought to all who knew him. ❤️
