Reimagining an icon.

Schulte Hospitality Group has
announced the reopening of the
historic Renaissance Des Moines Savery
Hotel on February 1, 2018. After an
18-month transformation, the city’s icon
of sophistication and luxury has been
reinvented with a nod to the hotels
history, while engaging the luxury
traveler with enhancements that are
reflective of the Renaissance brand.
Cauhaus Design was selected by
Renaissance Hotels to transform the
Renaissance Des Moines Savery into
the proud gem of the city, unveiling
209 fully reimaged guestrooms, an
indigenous restaurant, revitalized
event space and touches of the city
and hotels history throughout.
The reimagined arrival experience
appeals to the millennial travelers,
immediately enveloping guests with
luxury as they enter the hotel. The
outside awnings of the hotel were
refurbished and the Hotel Savery
name will now light the streets at
night. Another exterior corner hotel
sign will be added by Spring and will
mirror the hotels exterior from the
early 1900’s.
The renovation of the lobby
includes a new wall of historical photos
and a timeline which will transport
guests back in time through the hotel’s
100-year history. There is also the
addition of a memorial wall to the
Women’s Auxiliary Corps which was
hosted at the Renaissance Des Moines
during the war, 1942-1945.
SCOPRI, is a new Italian restaurant
located within the hotel. Guests will
experience reinvented culinary classics
from the Old World that pay homage
to the local mainstays of Des Moines.
The restaurant décor was imagined
through a partnership with L2 Studios
and Des Moines’ own West End
Salvage. Reclaimed elevator doors
from the Equitable Building now lead
into the Private Dining Space in Scorpri
and an old saloon door will allow
guests to mark their experience in
Scopri with a signed wine cork.
CODA LOUNGE will offer crafted
cocktails to tell the story of their

inception pre and post prohibition.
Guests can select wine from the hotel’s
Italian wine list honoring the grapes
from the Old World to pair perfectly
with the modern Italian cuisines from
Coda and Scopri’s menu. Coda Lounge
saw a slight transformation in décor
with the addition of local artwork from
Olsen Larson.
The renovation creates sensation
throughout the 2nd floor event space
with additions of unique furniture,
paparazzi escapes to “recharge”
and a paparazzi walkway that leads
guests to the Des Moines skywalk.
R.E.N. Meetings will be alive in each
space with new banquet chairs, new
tables and linen, new sound and
lighting systems and modern lighting
throughout. The Savery Ballroom’s
historical arched ceiling was
rejuvenated with lighting features and
decorative tiles add a unique element
for any event hosted in the space.
The reinvention of the guestrooms
includes a newly designed bathroom
with ample counter space, walk-in
showers with surrounding tile and
modern features throughout. In
addition, new mattresses, larger
televisions, and new Keurig machines
were added to each guestroom as well
as new plush furniture, linens, and
bedding. The renovation included an
overhaul of the buildings mechanical
systems which now will allow guests
a more comfortable setting in their
space upon check-in.
The hotel will open with 3
guestroom floors, lobby, restaurants
and meeting space. Finishing touches
look to conclude by early March with
all floors including the Club Lounge
and all remaining guestrooms.
The hotel plans to celebrate later
this spring with a Grand Reopening
event displaying the renovation and
the Renaissance brand to the city and
its partners.
