Saint Kate's outstanding performance
Pros:

Saint Kate with Pabst Theater are a slam-dunk combination. Went for a show and Saint Kate's was convenient, but was outstanding for what they had to offer with food, art, and service. Can't wait to book again for a second time staying in Milwaukee.

Wonderful stay!
Pros:

I just had the best experience at the Saint Kate Hotel! I checked in with 3 friends for a stay after a show. We were met with champagne and were allowed to check in early without any discussion. One of my friends mentioned that we have known each other for 40 years!
The hotel and room have small touches of art and music everywhere you look. Even a record player (with an album library in the lobby) and a ukulele in the room.
After relaxing in the room for a short while, we had a surprise delivery. It was a gift basket of snacks, games and champagne from Lennox, the lovely man who checked us in, with a personal note to celebrate and enjoy our friendship. It was the icing on the cake of a great visit!
Thank you Lennox!

Amazing Girls’ Weekend at Saint Kate!
Pros:

We had an absolutely awesome girls’ weekend at Saint Kate! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was fun, artsy, and welcoming, thanks to Nacho at the front desk. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable, the staff was incredibly friendly, and the whole hotel had such a unique vibe that made our stay feel extra special.
We loved exploring the art throughout the property and enjoyed great food and drinks during our stay. Everything was clean, stylish, and thoughtfully put together. It truly made for the perfect weekend getaway with the girls.
Highly recommend Saint Kate—can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful hotel that is short staffed and doesn’t pay attention to detail.
Pros:

The location was perfect. The rooms were gorgeous and I loved the record player and ukulele. The drawing paper was cool but most of the pencils were too dull to use. The beds were comfy!

Cons:

We were placed across the hall from the Dada room on the 3rd floor. There was a choir group in the space and they were loud. I don’t expect them to be quiet, but believe the hotel should not full the room directly across when the room is occupied . We also tried to get appetizers and drinks around 10 after the Bucks game at The Bar and waited over 20 minutes and were not acknowledged so we left.

Convenience and fun abound at The Saint Kate
Pros:

The Saint Kate is conveniently located in the hub of the Milwaukee theater district. After cocktails and food on site you are just steps away from MKE Rep venues. Stay in a fun hotel which celebrates the visual arts scene.

Saint Kate - a new favorite!

Excellent art hotel in downtown Milwaukee. Near lots of great venues, has artist-designed rooms, a museum and artist-in-residence in the lobby, and so many art-related treats for the eyes and ears. I can't love this place enough!

Great experience
Pros:

Great hotel over all! Sort of reminded me of a hint of Vegas. The art and music definitely created a good vibe. Only concern would be thin walls in room I heard the neighbors every conversation, or maybe they were all just very loud not for sure but that’s really all I have anything to say that put a damper on the Trip. I would try again for sure!
