Rate is for room(s) with 1 King or Queen Bed and up to 2 adults per room. The building was built in 1929.

We have two critically acclaimed restaurants in the hotel, The Knick which is an upscale café and the Osteria del Mondo, which is a fine dining Italian restaurant. We also have a full service spa and salon in the building. The hotel is located near all downtown attractions and we are within walking distance to the Milwaukee Art Museum,shopping, dining and the theatre district. The Knick Restaurant is open for breakfast beginning at 9 am on weekends. Breakfast is not included in the room rate.
