Hilton Milwaukee’s 554 guestrooms, including 7 suites, offer a central location, connected to the Baird Center and just steps from the city’s Theater District, Summerfest grounds, Fiserv Forum, and the Historic Third Ward. The new guest rooms feature amenities, including a hand steamer, in-room safe and coffee maker. Each bathroom has been completely redesigned and remodeled to include newly tiled showers, marble countertops, luxurious finishes, and mirrors with built-in lighting.

Lake Michigan Lakefront

Milwaukee boasts a beautiful, green lakefront. Early leaders believed that the presence of nature provides a positive influence on your personal life and pushed to keep the lakefront a non-commercialized park for citizens to enjoy. Today, that remains true, with beaches, parks, and trails for everyone to enjoy. But you don’t have to wait until summer to get outside; there are activities to enjoy all year long on Milwaukee’s lakefront.

The Ugly Apple Cafe
Madison
In August of 2016, chef Laurel Burleson launched the Ugly Apple Food Cart. She has been cooking in professional kitchens since high school and has a degree in hospitality management. After cooking for several years around Chicago and Madison, she saw how much was going to waste of this fantastic Midwestern produce. She envisioned owning a cafe that focused on delicious local produce.
Hence, the Ugly Apple was born.
Like the story of the Ugly Duckling, the Ugly Apple might not be bought at market but can still make a beautiful fritter. We lifted off in November of 2016 and love serving the community of Madison, Wisconsin with the cart and with “Breakfast All Day” catering! Give us a call to discuss your upcoming event!
