Upscale and Inspiring Conference Venue - NCMPS
Pros:

While my trip was for a work conference, the accommodations at St. Kate -The Arts Hotel truly made our entire conference an amazing experience. The ambiance was warm, inviting, and most importantly, it assisted us in our conference mission to inspire! Every detail was polished. Our event planner, Michaela and each member of her team worked in unison to give our participants a once-in-a-lifetime experience. At one point, my shoe broke and Max swooped in for the win. He fixed my shoe and made sure it was safe to wear for the rest of the conference. I am truly grateful and highly recommend The St. Kate. Hoping to return for a "girls' weekend" soon and see more of Milwaukee!

Appreciating my wife
Pros:

We were celebrating my wife's birthday. I ordered a bottle of champagne so it would be in the room when we checked it, and it was there on ice. The room, as usual, was very nice. We used the sitting room and talked and laughed until midnight. This was after dinner and the theatre at the Milwaukee Rep. The location is excellent for an all-in-one special night out. We do this almost every year.

Quirky; wonderful.
Pros:

We came here because we bought tickets to a comedian playing at the Pabst Theater. Had no idea when we came that the theater was literally attached: felt like we won the lottery.

Everything was beyond awesome.

Great check-in experience. Thank you for the champagne.
Clean, lovely, well-appointed room.
Quirky, artsy decor.
Fabulous pizza from the low-key restaurant on site. Props to the guy working there.
Parking was a win.
Comfy bed. Comfy pillows. Comfy everything.
Good view.

We will ABSOLUTELY come back.

Best place to stay in Milwaukee
Pros:

You couldn't ask for a better location as you are in the middle of everything great about downtown. I don't think there is a better atmosphere in any hotel I've ever stayed in. The accommodations were clean, comfortable and very cool. The entire vibe was awesome.

Wonderful hotel!
Pros:

Saint Kate is an outstanding hotel! I booked this hotel based on the reviews and also the art and live music. Saint Kate did not disappoint. We were greeted by Lenox at the front desk. He was friendly and took the time to answer all our questions about Milwaukee. He also made some great suggestions. The champagne at check in was also a nice touch. The rooms were clean. The bartenders were great, very friendly. The live music every night was wonderful! The food was also good at the bar and restaurant. Do not hesitate to book this hotel. We had an excellent time here! The art was amazing too!!

Pros:

We continue to rely on the staff at St. Kate's Arts Hotel when we come to the city. From the warm greeting from the Valet, the attentive waitress, and the bar tenders, feelings of belonging in their space. Art and music create a sensory experience that, for us, is both relaxing and stimulating. Bravo, and see you in August

Great time, great hotel!
Pros:

An amazing hotel! Service was excellent.
Front desk staff was very helpful and pleasant. The welcome champagne was much appreciated. The room was impeccably prepared by housekeeping.
Nightly music at the bar was great, apps were delicious.
We we t to the Milwaukee Rep and saw a great show. Since the building is attached by an atrium, we just walked over with no need to go outdoors.
We will definitely stay here again.
