    The Hilton Milwaukee City Center is one of those old 'grand dames' from another era. It was originally built in 1928 (by insurance and hotel magnate Walter Schroeder) as the Schroeder Hotel and, at 265 feet high, it was the tallest and biggest hotel in Wisconsin. Since then, it has changed hands a few times, most recently becoming part of the Hilton Hotel chain. The first five floors are faced with limestone and Art Deco carvings. Over the years, many renovations have been made to the interior to modernize it and I found the rooms to be very comfortable and well appointed. The hotel has 730 guest rooms and is conveniently located within easy walking distance of the downtown attractions and the Lakefront as well.

    The Paradise Landing indoor water park, boasting 20,000 sq. ft. of water excitement for children of all ages can be readily accessed from the hotel. I paid about US $170/night for my room. The hotel did somewhat restrict internet access - it was 10 cents/minute after connecting for 30 minutes.

    Overall I loved the building and the location! I'd stay again! Yet the fact is that for two days in a row we had no housekeeping service (I had to phone to get clean towels), one Tuesday AM we awoke at 7 AM to pounding and construction sounds, and they had one of the worst Concierge I've ever experienced.

    Great lobby, nice room, right downtown, historic building, and great location all mean I'll try this again!

    I would rate it even higher if we had not had those experiences.

    This was the tallest hotel in Milwaukee built in an Art Deco style and named the Schroeder Hotel completed in 1928. It has undergone extensive renovation several times to provide nice accomodations in an historic setting. Among the historic hotels in Milwaukee this one presents a bargain .

    • If you're from The South like me, don't bother asking for honey mustard. I actually had a waitress in one of their restaurants say to me "Umm... no? But I can mix some honey & mustard for you..?" Uhhhh wow, thanks, but no thanks. Another thing -- good luck finding Coke products. Pepsi everywhere, UGH.
    I was disappointed by the room. It was completely NOTHING special. I mean sure it was standard & clean. But I suppose I like rooms with a little more spunk. Outside of the room it was different. Very 1920's-ish I suppose... coulda been better if ya ask me.

    The best & most awesome thing about this hotel is the "water park", if you wanna call it that. I walked in & was soo happy to be breathing some air from home! They have some sort of humidity thing in there. It's great. The cafe in the "water park" is a cute idea. Though it definitly isn't a water park from home. This one if small, but what do you expect for one if a hotel & in Wisconsin at that. Over all the water park was really cool.

    WATER PARK!

    • This hotel has a waterpark inside of it, complete with all sorts of fun slides and things to do!

    You can even access the waterpark if you aren't staying at the hotel. There is a fee.

    Wonderful place to be treated like royalty. This hotel is located near everything! I would highly suggest staying here if it is within your budget!

    They have completed a recent multi-million dollar renovation to restore the hotel to its original 1920s stature with elegant chandeliers, rich woodwork accents, and marble floors.

    It is absolutely beautiful!

    $43 a night through Priceline! No complaints from me!

    The City Center Milwaukee Hilton is a convenient and agreeable place for a weekend break. I met some friends from Chicago here - we both found the same great rate, which is pretty unbeatable. The Hilton is an old-fashioned, 1920s pile, decorated in an Art Deco manner crossed with aspected of pseudo-French Baroque. If it seems reminiscent of the Palmer House Hilton in Chicago, there's a good reason for that: both buildings were designed by the Chicago architectural firm of Holabird and Roche, and both opened in the exuberant year 1927. Moreover, both Hiltons feature grandiose "Empire Ballrooms" that are virtually identical to one another.

    It was mid-afternoon when I checked in, and the agreeable front desk clerk gave me a room on one of the upper floors that was usually large and well-furnished. My Chicago friends arrived rather late in the evening and were not so fortunate - they had a smaller room on one of the lower floors. Not that they complained - how can you for $43 a night?
