Marriott Milwaukee Hotel

Balancing respect for the City’s heritage while setting the stage for its successful future.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin

A world-class hotel – replacing five deteriorating, outdated and severely underutilized buildings in a high-profile location – will be a tremendous plus for Milwaukee in many ways. It will be a gorgeous addition to the area and provide meaningful activity to spark economic growth for downtown’s revitalization. It will enhance the Milwaukee region’s national reputation and help draw more visitors to town for business, conventions and pleasure.

Kahler Slater was selected by Jackson Street Management to design this important hotel project. What started as design work has turned into much more. Helping to lead the project through the complex municipal approval process amidst great community attention and scrutiny, the design team has developed a brilliant solution to please both the historic preservation community and contemporary business and economic proponents.

The design solution is an L-shaped hotel that wraps around a beautifully restored and renovated corner building. It preserves and recreates the original facades of 19th century buildings along Wisconsin Avenue, while a modern brick building rejuvenates the Milwaukee Street side. A plan with a nod to both the new and old is designed to create a compromise for a divided community.
