Why Choose a Staycation in Milwaukee

Milwaukee makes an easy luxury staycation because its best hotels sit close to the lakefront, the Riverwalk, and the city's food and arts scene. You can stay in the grand Pfister Hotel on Wisconsin Avenue, sleep in an arts hotel in the theater district, or book a design hotel in the Historic Third Ward. Many rooms cost less than in bigger Midwest cities. Fall and winter weekends are a calm time for spa time, Bucks games, and long dinners.
