Adventureland Inn, Des Moines, IA

Jack Kranz, President of Adventureland Inn, wanted to create a complete resort style experience for guests regardless of the season. A large courtyard offered the perfect space, OpenAire provided the retractable roof.

Jack's inspiration featured a sunlit tropical courtyard with a retractable roof to maximize natural light and fresh air. The space created below contains a pool, whirlpool, tropical plants, a bar, fifty-seven new poolside guest rooms and countless other amenities.
