Grand Harbor Resort and Waterpark

The hotel features meeting spaces, the two Platinum rooms on the second floor as well as a boardroom.

The adjoining water park is the first indoor waterpark within the state of Iowa.

Near the hotel is the Shot Tower, the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium, Diamond Jo Casino, and the Dubuque Star Brewery.

The Alliant Energy Amphitheater is located next to the brewery, and is the site of concerts and other events.

Despite this, a number of hotel chains were still interested in establishing properties in Dubuque, and the Dubuque Inn has since been gutted and a portion of the original hotel building is being rebuilt as a Hampton Inn.
