The corner rooms are spectacular. They have incredibly tall ceilings with large windows and nice city views. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable. The front desk staff are extremely helpful and pleasant. The breakfast leaves a lot to be desired but everything else at the hotel is lovely. The building has so many architectural details that you just don’t see every day.

Awesome place right in the middle of Milwaukee. The architecture is old and beautiful. Staff is super friendly and the drinks at the bar/restaurant are fantastic. Their WI Old Fashioned is one of the best I’ve had in the city. Highly recommend.

We chose Hilton Garden Inn Milwaukee Downtown as our main wedding hotel block, and it was truly the perfect choice. From start to finish, Tory was incredibly helpful and responsive, guiding us through every detail with professionalism and warmth. She made the entire process smooth and stress-free, which allowed us to fully enjoy our big weekend.
The building itself is absolutely stunning. The historic architecture set a beautiful backdrop for both our rehearsal dinner in the Beaman West Room and our Welcome Party in the grand atrium. Our guests were blown away by the unique setting—many of them raved not only about the gorgeous atrium but also about how comfortable and well-appointed their rooms were.
The atrium, in particular, was a showstopper. It created such a memorable and elegant space for our Welcome Party, and guests are still telling us how impressed they were. The Beaman West Room was equally perfect for our rehearsal dinner, with its atmosphere striking the right balance between intimate and celebratory.
We are so grateful to Tory and the entire Hilton Garden Inn team for making our wedding weekend seamless and unforgettable. If you’re planning a wedding in Milwaukee, we couldn’t recommend this hotel more highly!
