Saint Kate - The Arts Hotel

Saint Kate The Arts Hotel is the best hotel in Milwaukee. We always stay at this hotel, and our most recent trip was for four days. The moment we stepped into the lobby, we were greeted by friendly staff, and offered a glass of champagne at check-in. The hotel is absolutely stunning and not like any other hotel. The rooms are beautiful, extremely clean, and so comfortable. The bar has a great energy to it, great drinks, and we love the daily live music entertainment. The service is excellent. Best hotel in Milwaukee!

Excellent all around. Clean, friendly, accommodating, great location!

Nothing

Mostly the experience was good but I accidentally left a pair of shoes behind. Even though I called the hotel within 4 hours of checking out, and again the next day, and wrote an email, I have not heard back from the hotel and the shoes seem to have gone missing - a perfectly good pair of shoes left on the floor. This is very poor service.

Very unique in every way and we loved it!

I can't say enough about this amazing hotel. It was awesome from the moment we checked in with Ethan on Saturday night, May 2nd. He was professional, warm and friendly. We were put in a corner room on the 5th floor (was our anniversary weekend). We had a beautiful view from two picture windows of the PAC and river....gorgeous. We loved the room......spacious but cozy with all the right touches....even the bathroom sinks had artwork. We did not go to the bar or restaurant.....the bar was "jumping" both nights.....very lively. When we checked out on Monday morning with Nacho, he was also helpful and friendly. Also, on the 2nd night, had an issue with the tv and called the front desk and someone came up right away and fixed. We left the hotel a couple of times to check out other things in the downtown area and had to pay for parking all those separate times so that was pricey. Also, I had ordered roses and chocolates and champagne and they were waiting in the room when we checked in. They were fine but the clear vase the roses were in was foggy and dirty.........so made the presentation not up to par with everything else. The property is truly lovely........................we will return!!

We were greeted with champagne at check-in. Our room was adorable. Loved playing records.

Nothing to report

Everything at the Saint Kate was fantastic, with a few exceptions. The reception area and staff were great upon arrival. The Hotel itself is located in a fantastic area, close to almost anything you would want to do in Milwaukee. The rooms were uniquely set up with big windows, a record player and a ukulele. The bar area was fun and lively. Given all those pluses, this review would have received 5 stars if it weren't for a few minor issues, and one major issue. The minor issues: Our body wash container was empty in the shower and, even after reading the directions, I could not get sound through the speakers on the record player. Both, not a big deal. The major issue: I utilized the valet service provided by the hotel and when the car was returned at the end of our stay, it was obvious that my center counsel and center cubby area had been gone through. Neither area had valuables within them, but everything in the center cubby area was strewn throughout the front of the car and the center counsel cover was not secured because an item was blocking the latching mechanism. Keep in mind, nothing was taken, but that may only be because there wasn't anything of value except postage stamps in that area. My recommendation would definitely be to give the hotel a try, but not to use the valet service. Or, if you do use the valet, do not leave anything of value in your vehicle.

This hotel is absolutely stunning, and the art gallery offers a distinctive touch that enhances the overall experience. The complimentary champagne upon arrival is a wonderful detail that transforms a stressful travel day into something special. The bar was consistently bustling with vibrant guests, and the espresso martinis were simply fantastic. Conveniently located from the convention center and heart of downtown. I would recommend it to anyone staying for business or pleasure.
