The Madison Concourse Hotel and Governor's Club

My friends and I booked a girls' trip to the Concourse so we could hang out and play board games in the Governor's Club and just enjoy a night spent together. Our room had a gorgeous view of Lake Mendota, every single person working there that we interacted with was extremely friendly and helpful, and the food & drink provided in the Governor's Club was top-notch (as was the view of the Capitol!). If the food hadn't been so good we could've walked right out the door of the hotel and been within five minutes of dozens of excellent restaurants and bars. I literally cannot recommend the Concourse Hotel enough, and I can't wait to book another stay!

I had a truly pleasant experience during my stay at the Madison Concourse Hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive to every detail. The room was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed—perfect for relaxing after a long day. The location is ideal, with easy access to downtown attractions, restaurants, and the Capitol. I especially appreciated the quality of the amenities, including the fitness center and on-site dining. Everything about my stay—from check-in to checkout—was smooth and enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend the Madison Concourse Hotel to anyone visiting Madison and look forward to staying again.

My favorite hotel in Madison. Great location, very friendly staff and all the amenities you would need/want. This is our 3rd time staying here as it has become our "go to" place when visiting Madison.

Visited Madison for a Big Ten football game, I’ve stayed at the Concourse several times, highly recommended for just about everything. And a big shout out to Nitika who is simply the best!!!!

The location was great being so close to the square with lots of shops, bars and restaurants as well as a great view of the capital building!

This was our first time staying at The Madison Concourse Hotel & we loved it! You feel welcome the moment you walk in. The front desk staff is so helpful and friendly. Check-in and check-out were a breeze! Get a Governor's Club Room so that you can enjoy The Governor's Club Lounge! The private elevator, friendly staff and complimentary amenities make you feel well taken care of, spoiled even! We were lucky enough to get a late checkout - with no extra charge! The Circ Restaurant's salad bar was wonderful with delicious extras such as soups, sandwiches, pastas, fruits, charcuterie, desserts etc! Service was amazing. We would love to stay again during our next trip to Madison!

They have earned my business for life. This was the second time my wife and I stayed here. The first time was our first date and then most recently for out honeymoon. The staff, to include at the front desk, in the Governor's Club, cleaning, and building maintenance staff was all polite and welcoming from interactions ranging from passing by to spending the evening with them enjoying appetizers, drinks, and my wife's favorite, the desserts. Finding a comfortable place to grab a good bite of food or a quick drink was easy and comfortable. For those questioning if the jump up to the Governor's club is worth it, absolutely yes. The breakfast, drinks, appetizers, and desserts were incredible. Our first stay was great in the normal rooms and this time was even better getting to experience all the hotel has to offer. The rooms were clean and came with incredible views of the lakes and city. We were looking for things to do and places to visit and everyone we spoke with had a great deal of knowledge of the area, the history, and even the schedules of local events. The location is close to many restaurants, parks, the university, a comedy club, the capital, and so much more. You can find almost anything you want within a 20 minute walks. The first day we mostly relaxed following a busy wedding week and it was so easy to enjoy the peace and quiet of the area and of course the incredibly comfortable beds. The pool and fitness area was great. Im a big sauna fan and it was very appreciated that each morning I could go down and start my day with a dip in the pool and finish it with a hot sauna. The parking ramp was easy to use and navigate as well as nice to have off street parking for our vehicle and personal belongings we left in our vehicle. We can't wait to come back and have another enjoyable experience at the Madison Concourse.

I have stayed at the Madison Concourse many times while attending an annual conference. It's an absolutely great place - well run, friendly, efficient, comfortable, conveniently located. The airport shuttle is very convenient as well. The bar is also very good with an extensive food and drinks menu. I would certainly recommend this hotel for anyone staying in downtown Madison.

The Concourse hotel is in a class of its own. It is not part of a chain and you feel that the second you walk in. Everything about the hotel is personal and personable, and you will truly feel at home. The amenities are excellent - the gym is a decent size and when I needed to panic print a conference paper at midnight the printer was working and it took 3 minutes! Food at CIRC is great and of course the hotel is in such a terrific location you can walk to lots of other places too. I would not stay anywhere else when I am in Madison.

The Madison Concourse Governor's Club was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we walked in the hotel we were greeted with friendly, helpful staff. Our room was spotlessly clean and well appointed. Included in the Governor's Club rate was drinks, appetizers (it was truthfully a full meal), coffee, dessert, and breakfast the following morning. The options were both healthy, delicious and decadent. The staff on the Governor's Club went above and beyond. I truly have not been treated this well at a hotel EVER! I would not hesitate to recommend the Madison Concourse when you're in town.
