About us

Nestled in the heart of downtown Kenosha, The Stella Hotel & Ballroom is a historic renovation of a well-known landmark, built in the early 1900's, that was home to the Heritage House Inn and The Kenosha Elks Club. Within minutes of the shores of Lake Michigan, this contemporary, yet classic hotel is the only full-service hotel in downtown Kenosha featuring 80 stunning guest rooms and suites with state-of-the-art amenities. The hotel offers classic, yet contemporary rooms as well as retro one-bedroom Heritage Suites, accommodations feature rustic furnishings and vintage-style decor. Other amenities include a fitness center, business center, gift and sundry shop, and a rec room with vintage board games. There are three onsite dining options: The 1844 Table & Mash, a vintage, supper-club-inspired restaurant and lounge specializing in fresh local dishes, and a diverse selection of signature cocktails, whiskeys, craft beers, and wine. Café at The Stella, located off the Lobby, serves specialty coffee drinks, smoothies, fresh-baked pastries, breakfast, lunch, and more. In the summer season, Crow’s Nest Rooftop Bar offers a unique rooftop bar experience with views of downtown Kenosha and Lake Michigan, signature cocktails, live entertainment, cozy fire pits, and views of outstanding sunsets. The Stella Hotel & Ballroom is the ideal destination for corporate meetings, social events, weddings, and more with over 8,000 square feet of flexible event space. Event space includes five flexible event rooms ideal for groups of any size from 10 to 225.

Civil War Museum

Civil War Museum

Museum
1 mi
The Civil War Museum is like no other Civil War museum in the country. The Museum focuses on the Civil War from the perspective of the people of the seven states of the upper middle west: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. These seven states sent over one million men to serve in the Union army while providing much of the food and raw materials necessary for the northern states to carry on the war. Through the use of personal stories and narratives, the Museum also explores how the Civil War impacted the people on the Western home front before, during, and after the war by connecting the prewar causes to the postwar effects.
