Milwaukee’s hotel scene has exploded in recent years, with new boutique properties joining the classic grand hotels to give visitors more options than ever. Whether you’re looking for historic luxury, hip boutique style, or solid value, Milwaukee has a hotel for you.
The Pfister Hotel — Historic Luxury
The Pfister is Milwaukee’s most iconic hotel, and staying there is a genuine experience. The Victorian architecture, the world-class art collection, the impeccable service — it all adds up to something you won’t find anywhere else. Rates are higher than most Milwaukee hotels, but for a special occasion, there’s nothing better in the city.
The Iron Horse Hotel — Milwaukee Original
The Iron Horse Hotel in Walker’s Point is Milwaukee’s coolest hotel — a converted warehouse decorated with motorcycle memorabilia and industrial chic design. It’s become a destination for motorcycle enthusiasts from across the country, but you don’t need to ride to appreciate the excellent restaurant, the beautiful rooms, and the Walker’s Point location.
The Kimpton Journeyman Hotel — Third Ward Style
The Journeyman Hotel in the Historic Third Ward puts you in the heart of Milwaukee’s trendiest neighborhood. The rooftop bar has one of the best views in the city, the rooms are beautifully designed, and the Third Ward’s restaurants and shops are right outside your door.
Hilton Milwaukee City Center — Downtown Value
For a reliable, well-located downtown hotel at a reasonable price, the Hilton Milwaukee City Center (the former Schroeder Hotel) delivers. The historic building adds character, the location puts you walking distance from most downtown attractions, and the rooms are comfortable and well-maintained.
