Creative Addition to Milwaukee Hotel Market
MILWAUKEE - The "Hotel of the Arts" is the latest addition to the burgeoning business development in Milwaukee's historic Brewer's Hill neighborhood. Newly opened in October 2009, this unique take on a Days Inn & Suites property treats guests to a variety of visual arts exhibits and musical performances. Individual rooms are enhanced by modern art and common areas feature the work of local artists. The hotel means more choice for travelers looking to combine quality and value.
Conveniently located on 6th Street, one mile north of downtown's Wisconsin Avenue, the property features 79 rooms, including a fourth floor of suites. The hotel is designed to meet the needs of the business traveler, with a state-of-the-art business center, two meeting rooms, and freeWi-Fi. The property was designed by architect Harry Van Oudenallen and Arquitectura, Inc.
