Milwaukee Hotels and Accommodation

(Milwaukee, Wisconsin - WI, USA)



Hotels in Milwaukee are in good supply and include all kinds of accommodation, ranging from youth hostels in the city center, to the most luxurious and historic lodging, packed with charm and character. During the summer months, hotels in Milwaukee tend to be at their most expensive, being reduced in the low season by up to 30 percent.

Demand is greatly affected when the Summerfest takes place (late June / early July), as well as during the PolishFest and PrideFest in mid-June, the GermanFest in late July, and again during the popular IrishFest each August.

Where to stay in Milwaukee is often dictated by both price and travel plans, with the most popular hotels being found in the city center, around the lakefront and riverwalk, and throughout the historic Third Ward District. Further accommodation is located within the Central Business District (CBD), the Kilbourntown area, Juneautown and the East Town district.


Where to Stay

Affordable hotels can also be found on the city outskirts of Milwaukee and in nearby Wisconsin cities, towns and villages, such as:


One of the cheapest places to stay in the city is the HI Milwaukee Summer Hostel, off West Wisconsin Avenue. Open during June and July only, this hostel accommodation comes in the form of the Marquette University's McCormick Halls of Residence and is well connected to the city by nearby public transportation.

Budget hotels in Milwaukee are concentrated along North Lovers Lane, North Port Washington Road, South 13th Street, South Howell Avenue, West Layton Avenue and West National Avenue. This cheap accommodation includes the Baymont Inn and Suites, the Econo Lodge, the Hampton Inn Northwest, the Ramada Inn South and the Super 8 Motel, amongst others.

Mid-range hotels in Milwaukee tend to be based around Kilbourn Avenue, North Port Washington Road, West Wisconsin Avenue and West Michigan Street. Particularly notable and offering three-star accommodation is the Hilton Garden Inn on West Park Place, the downtown Residence Inn by Marriott on North Plankinton Avenue, and the DoubleTree Milwaukee Hotel on West Wisconsin Avenue, which is near to the Midwest Airlines Convention Center, the Grand Avenue Mall and the Marquette University.

Those who fancy indulging in some luxury accommodation in Milwaukee may like to consider staying along the very upmarket East Wisconsin Avenue, which stands just a few blocks away from the Lake Michigan. Considerably cheaper and still offering four-star lodging is the InterContinental Downtown Hotel on East Kilbourn Avenue, which stands between the riverside and the City Hall.
