The Blackhawk Hotel, which once hosted guests such as Cary Grant and Richard Nixon, had fallen into disrepair during the 1990s and hit rock bottom in 2006 when parts of the eighth caught fire and several floors were damaged by water. The city took over operation in 2009 and decided on drastic measures – a restoration program for tens of millions of dollars. The restoration budget alone was estimated at more than 35 million. In 2013, the Hotel Blackhawk became a part of the Marriott chain of luxury hotels – the Marriott Autograph Collection.

Blackhawk Hotel
Davenport [US]
When the historic Blackhawk Hotel was purchased,
the new owner was facing the huge task of restor-
ing the hotel to its former glory. It was important
to ensure that the environment was pleasant and
relaxing for the often distinguished guests.The
Blackhawk Hotel (presently the Hotel Blackhawk)
was built in 1915 and gradually evolved into a luxury
hotel with 400 rooms, a lavish facade, decorative
marble around the windows, a carefully designed
and personable interior and a large, stained-glass
skylight in the lobby. Fellert’s solutions were in full
agreement with all requirements for acoustics, envi-
ronmental friendliness and budgetary restraint.
