Milwaukee: “A Jewel of the Great Lakes”

Did you hear what people are saying about Milwaukee?

We made the list!

The National Trust for Historic Preservation, the country's largest private, nonprofit preservation organization, named Milwaukee to its 2006 list of America’s Dozen Distinctive Destinations, an annual list of unique and lovingly preserved communities in the United States.

This great city was selected from 93 destinations in 39 states that were nominated by individuals, preservation organizations and local communities.

We were chosen because of our rich historical and cultural attractions, making our city the perfect place for a weekend of exploring.

The Business Journal of Milwaukee: Starwood eyes downtown Milwaukee: Hotel chain negotiating for a Westin or W Hotel

According to Pete Millard, writer for The Business Journal, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. is negotiating with several Milwaukee real estate developers to locate a Westin, Sheraton or W Hotel in downtown Milwaukee.


Can Milwaukee Support Another Hotel Chain?

Greg Hanis, president of Hospitality Marketers International Inc., a Pewaukee hotel consulting firm, seems to think so. According to Hanis, the occupancy rate for the seven largest downtown Milwaukee hotels is 69.4 percent. Developers appear to get excited when this rate approaches 70%.

According to the Greater Milwaukee Hotel & Motel Association, there are more than 30 hotel projects in various stages of development in southeast Wisconsin and half of those are centered on downtown Milwaukee. Downtown Milwaukee could potentially see another 1300 rooms added to the existing number of hotel rooms.

These new developments bring more excitement...more conventions...more travelers...more establishments...more jobs...more money. The economy of this great city looks promising.
