Downtown Milwaukee Hotel Guide

Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is a city of old and new. Contemporary skyscrapers and 19th-century architecture fill its spectacular skyline and some of America's most recognizable buildings overlook majestic Lake Michigan. "Cream City" is made up of several distinct neighborhoods, but its beating heart is Downtown—home to magnificent museums and local landmarks that continue to attract visitors every year. Book a hotel near Downtown Milwaukee to be close to all of the action and attractions like Pabst Theater, Discovery World, and Miller Park.

Downtown Milwaukee

Downtown Milwaukee, just eleven miles from General Mitchell International Airport, is close to the beautiful lakefront and is full of exciting restaurants and bars. No trip to this city would be complete without a taste of bratwurst, a treat popular in Milwaukee since German immigrants first arrived in the city. Wash it down with a local craft ale; "Brew Town" has been synonymous with beer production since the 1850s. Book cheap flights to Milwaukee and visit Cathedral Square, an urban park famous for live music and festivals. Come here for a fantastic farmer's market on Saturday mornings throughout the summer to purchase fresh produce and to sample seasonal items from Wisconsin farmers.

You'll be in the center of it all when you book one of the Downtown Milwaukee hotels. You need a base for exploring landmarks like the Harley-Davidson Museum, where you can discover vintage vehicles and iconic motorcycles from the last hundred years; the museum also houses interactive exhibits, a gift shop, and a bar. If you're a history buff, visit the nearby Milwaukee Public Museum, which has a butterfly garden and three floors of collections spanning various periods of natural history.

"This is a lovely historic hotel close to the art and theatre district. Out room was clean but really needed an update. I understand it’s historic, but there were some soft spots on the floor in a couple of spots that were uncomfortable. The water in the shower was very touchy and unpredictable between to hot and too cold. The room temp was waaay to hot and there was no way to control the temp as it’s a steam coil on the wall situation. All we could do was “turn off the steam and you’re welcome to open the window”. Only one would open and it did not cool the room off much at all. UNTIL the next day, while we were out and then it REALLY cooled it down. Then there was no way to warm it back up because by then they must have gotten enough complaints about the heat so the whole system was off! So now the room is cold and no heat to warm it back up! The staff is friendly and helpful as they can be. Parking here is expensive and perilous. For a lovely as the hotel is, I think I’d skip the stay and visit the restaurant instead to see it. "
