The Madison Concourse Hotel and Governor's Club

We have visited the governors club for about 10 years annually. It is a beautiful place to go with other couples, or alone with your spouse. The atmosphere from the lobby, to the restaurant, to the Club guest rooms and even just the hallways- is inviting and fun. We love the Governors Club Lounge because it is an all in one package for a night of cocktails and appetizers with top shelf liquors and wines with a beautiful view of the capital, and then just a few steps to your bed!! and then-breakfast in he Club Lounge the next morning! Occasionally, we will leave the Club Lounge, and walk around downtown Madison to other local bars and restaurants of which there are many amazing ones! If you go in the summer, they have a farmers market on the square which is so fun to walk around during the day for. This hotel offers a free shuttle around town for shopping or going to grab a drink at another bar for a bit- which was fantastic for our winter stay-no walking in the cold! The bartenders at The Club Lounge are always exceptional. The Governors Club rooms are beautiful and very comfortable. The hours of the Club Lounge are 4:30-10 (this is the time when all of your drinks are "complimentary." NO matter what you order!

It’s not a trip to Madison without a stay at the Concourse. Location is unmatched and the staff is amazing. Parking was easy, had great capital bites from our room, and the food was excellent. They are a wonderful independent hotel.

Always love my stay here. Incredible staff ftom arrival to departure. So close to so much around te capital. Would highly recommend!

Always an excellent stay at the Concourse Hotel. Staff is friendly, helpful, and their team (Michael, Mary, & Courtney) is wonderful!

Wife and I had wonderful stay. Central location allowed walking to awesome restaurants. Staff pleasant. Rooms nice/clean. Had access to Governor’s club amenities that put the really made the experience special. Weekday rate in December was great value for all the above reasons.

We stayed at the Madison Concourse Hotel during a Badger football weekend. Usually prices are jacked up for football weekends, but our stay was very reasonably priced! In fact, I booked the hotel three weeks out and still got a fantastic deal! There are only a handful of hotels located right downtown and the Madison Concourse is one of the better options! Located just steps from the Capital and State Street and a short walk to the Kohl center and Camp Randall, I would highly recommend the Madison Concourse hotel!

Loved the location, the Hotel is in walking distance of a lot of shopping, restaurants and other venues. We were pool side and could not hear any noise coming from the pool area. Rooms were very clean and spacious. we didn't eat at the restaurant in the hotel, but from what i saw the food looked really good, liked the Starbucks located there also. I was expecting to pay more for the room, especially pool side... comparable to the rest of the hotels in the area. Would definitely stay there again!!!

Good hotel right in the middle of downtown Madison. They have comfortable clean, spacious rooms. They have a restaurant and bar. I tried the bar; has drinks, sandwiches, and appetizers - which were pretty good. Handful of seats around the bar and handful of tables - and even plush chairs at one point. Staff was friendly. Check-in was quite slow; their computer system must take longer than other places I've stayed. Bathroom wasn't ideal for me - couldn't see to go in - needs a night light or something - very dark; the main switch is almost behind the door when it is open. Besides that, everything was excellent.

We had the pleasure of staying at the Concourse Hotel on the evening of my husband's final day of work before retirement, and the staff made the occasion truly memorable. Waiting for us was a thoughtful surprise: a heartfelt card on the bed, a towel “cake” complete with a candle, and a delightful treat of prosecco with chocolate-dipped strawberries. It was unexpected and incredibly touching. Although the hotel is older, our room had been beautifully refurbished. We've stayed there many times over the years and have always enjoyed our visits—the location and amenities are unbeatable. We’ll definitely continue choosing the Concourse for our little getaways in the future.

Absolute wonderful anniversary weekend! Truly enjoyed the Governor’s Club amenities. Highly recommend this hotel as it is within walking distance to the Capitol, many restaurants and the Overture Center.
