• Contemporary American • Peoria/East Peoria
Booked 2 times today
The Fox & Ford brand draws its inspiration from the travels of Pere Jacques Marquette—the hotel's namesake. Together with Louis Joliet, Marquette traveled the Fox River and studied cultures from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. Ford means to cross a river, so while the name signals the property's history, it also represents a new era for the Pere Marquette as we forge ahead toward a vibrant future.
