The Best Hotels In Sioux Falls South Dakota

Usually, to see waterfalls you need to head into the great outdoors – but not in the most populous city of South Dakota. In lovely Sioux Falls, water cascades around town, next to cafes, boutiques and nightspots. The city is also known as one of the healthiest in America and has been voted as one of the best places to live in the country. Buying into the themes of wellbeing and water, hotels in Sioux Falls offer great dining, comfortable rooms and heated swimming pools. Here are the best.

This Hyatt edges one of Sioux Falls’ most fascinating sights – Lake Lorraine, a clear lake on the Skunk Creek aquifer. It was dug out almost entirely by one man, Duane Fanebust, who worked on the project for nearly 20 years – his noisy excavator even earned him the nickname ‘Squeek’. You can get an eyeful of his extraordinary creation from some of the suites here.

7. Holiday Inn Sioux Falls-City Centre, an IHG Hotel, for easy convention center access
