Beautiful, historic hotel , where everything is 1st class! Room was spacious and clean.Bar on 23 rd floor overlooking the city was a nice place to have a drink.
I don’t usually eat at hotel restaurants , but this restaurant was excellent! Staff is friendly and helpful
What a gorgeous hotel with a fantastic history! The food, drinks and amenities were perfect and the atmosphere of the original building takes you right back to the Victorian era. My husband and I had a blast!
We try to stay here whenever we are in Milwaukee. The staff is wonderful, rooms clean, beds comfortable and spacious. Great experience and highly recommend.
Pamper yourselves. Stay here. We opted for the older "historic" section. Had a great old world feel with ultra modern amenities. First class all the way.
Excellent historic hotel. Wonderful place to stay in downtown Milwaukee. Only inconvenience I could find is bathroom sink set too far back making it inconvenient for short people.
We love this hotel, located in the center of Milwaukee. It is luxurious, and definitely a 5-star property. The restaurants ar excellent, the lobby is beautiful and everyone working there is helpful and kind. Marisha, who works in the cafe, is a treasure!
Beautiful property. Every staff member--from front desk, bar, restaurant, housekeeping, concierge,to bellhops, were pleasant, professional & helpful. Our room was comfortable, clean & quiet. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the art museum. Would certainly stay here again.
