Hotel Alex Johnson Rapid City, Curio Collection by Hilton  

In the heart of downtown Rapid City, just steps from Main Street Square and Art Alley. Walk to the Museum of the American Bison and the Berlin Wall Exhibit; the historic Elks Theatre sits next door. Mount Rushmore is an easy 25-minute drive, making this a smart base for family-friendly sightseeing.

A 1927 landmark that pairs late‑1920s charm with bold Native American artwork — think four sacred directions symbols, a teepee‑inspired chandelier and hand‑painted Sioux designs. The hotel has 143 air‑conditioned rooms with pillowtop beds, large flat screens, iPod docks and coffee makers. Upgrade to a suite for extra space, a microwave and fridge, plus members‑only access to the sky‑bar.

Unwind at the spa with massages, body treatments and facials, then hit the sauna or the indoor and outdoor pools. Stay sharp in the fitness center, try your luck in the on‑site casino, or sip cocktails on the top‑floor Vertex Sky Bar with sweeping city views. Conveniences include concierge service, a gift shop/newsstand, lobby Starbucks and a truffle stop from a local chocolatier. Scheduled roundtrip airport shuttle and on‑site parking are available.

Event space and meeting rooms that host up to 200 attendees, plus a 24‑hour business center and meeting/presentation facilities. Complimentary wireless internet and lobby newspapers keep work moving.

On‑site restaurant and bar for pub favorites and plated menus. Head to Juniper at Vertex Sky Bar on the top floor for fine dining and signature cocktails with a view. There's also a casual pub option at Paddy O’Neill’s, lobby Starbucks and grab‑and‑go treats; room service is offered during limited hours.
