Saint Kate – The Arts Hotel

“My favourite hotel! Is it an Art gallery with a hotel wrapped around it or is it a hotel housing art galleries. Either way I love it! The rooms are unique , each with a musical instrument and record player with a selection of records. Art in each room and throughout the hotel. Don’t forget to say hi to the Artist in Residence. Vibrant bar with live music and great food, all in the heart of Milwaukee. Unique”

“Stayed here recently for a long weekend to visit breweries and a couple Brewers games. I loved the hotel. The art theme is unique, and the hotel is luxurious without being pretentious. I always felt welcome and never felt out of place. The rooms are modern and well appointed, with high ceilings and cool decor. The lobby bar was always buzzing and was a nice social center to have available, even if you don’t use it. Just walking past it when retuning after an evening out to see patrons enjoying themselves was nice. The gallery spaces were cool, nice to walk through once for me, but not a “must see” or destination offering. The location is very convenient. I was initially hesitant that it was on the east side of the river, but it was very easy to get around on foot to all MKE attractions. Highly recommended”

“This is by far my favorite hotel in Milwaukee. We went here for new years and continue to go even though we live just 20 minutes away. For starters their deals and prices are amazing. It’s such a beautiful hotel with soo many amenities, events, you will never be bored. The location is amazing, the staff is amazing, the service is amazing, the rooms are unique and beautiful. On new years I can’t even shout out the staff enough. The front receptionist were amazingggg!! I could never even have one thing to say bad about this place. Truly they deserve all the shout outs in the world.”

“I recently had the opportunity to attend a four-day conference at the wonderful Saint Kate Arts Hotel, and I truly can’t say enough good things about my experience. From the moment you walk in, the hotel makes an impression. The space is absolutely stunning - artsy, vibrant, and eclectic in the best possible way. It feels thoughtfully designed and full of personality, which made the entire stay feel inspiring and unique. The service was exceptional throughout my visit. Nacho at the front desk was incredibly kind and welcoming during check-in, and he went above and beyond again on my third night when I needed help with a time-sensitive request. His willingness to help and positive attitude made a huge difference and did not go unnoticed. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and I really appreciated that housekeeping stopped by daily to tidy up the room. It’s one of those small touches that makes a stay feel extra cared for. I also have to mention the coffee, because it was that good. The coffee served both at the bar and at the restaurant on the second floor was delicious. We learned they use beans from a local roastery, and honestly, it was so good that there was no need to leave the hotel for a great cup of coffee. Another standout was Ruben at the downstairs bar. With so many of us attending the conference and constantly coming and going, he remained kind, professional, and incredibly patient while taking food and drink orders. His service was top-notch. Overall, the hospitality from the entire Saint Kate team was wonderful, especially while hosting the conference I attended. I would absolutely stay here again and look forward to returning in the future.”

“Was very happy to spend my wedding night in this hotel. It’s very special to my wife and it certainly lived up to expectations. Tobi at the front desk set the tone immediately by being very welcoming and happy to help us as we checked in. Checking on my emails, she was also the person who answered my email about making the visit nice for my wife, and entering our room we were not disappointed. Thank you very much. We went to the lobby bar twice and were taken extremely good care of by Lisa and Ruben between those two occasions. They knew how to make mean drinks and answered every question I had. We also enjoyed a very tasty breakfast at The Studio where Karli, Jared, and Abigail were all incredibly welcoming and good at their jobs and seemed to go that extra mile helping each other out running food and such. I would of course love to thank housekeeping for ensuring our room was spotless when we entered, which really made me all the more inclined to play the same three notes from Fur Elise over and over until I was politely asked to stop by my new wife. Beyond that, I really enjoy what they’ve done with the art in the building. As someone heavily involved in documenting various art scenes around the world, it was very enjoyable getting to explore the available art. Having spent several nights in the building before it was Saint Kate, I had a great deal of respect for what they’ve done have done with the place. Will definitely be finding an excuse to stay again, and will also be recommending it to several artists and more importantly family members when they come to stay. As far as hotels in the downtown Milwaukee area goes, it definitely hard to beat this location.”
