MILWAUKEE, Wis.
Westin Hotels & Resorts announced the opening of The Westin Milwaukee, the brand's debut in Wisconsin. Owned by an affiliate of Jackson Street Holdings LLC and managed by White Lodging Services Corporation, The Westin Milwaukee aims to be a gateway to and a respite from the hustle of the city.
"Around the world, travelers are realigning their priorities to put their well-being first, which aligns perfectly with Westin's positioning and continues to fuel growth [in established cities like Milwaukee]," said Brian Povinelli, senior vice president & global brand leader, Westin Hotels & Resorts. "With the city's fresh energy and increasingly active lifestyle, The Westin Milwaukee is the perfect addition to the brand's growing global portfolio."
Situated in the heart of downtown Milwaukee and steps away from the waterfront at the end of Michigan Street, The Westin Milwaukee features 220 guest rooms and suites—almost half boasting views of Lake Michigan. The hotel's design draws inspiration from the Native American meaning of Milwaukee: a gathering place by the water, with a biophilic-focus suggesting that a connection to nature enhances well-being.
The Westin Milwaukee features fresh and healthy creations from the SuperFoodsRx menu, as well as energizing fresh juices and smoothies. For the more indulgent, the hotel is also home to a modern Italian-American steakhouse, Stella Van Buren. Stella's high-end bar menu contains a curated selection of bourbon, an extensive wine list and a draft beer list that is entirely from Wisconsin breweries.
The Westin Milwaukee also offers nine meeting rooms with more than 9,000 square feet of space.
