The Madison Concourse Hotel and Governor's Club

We always stay at the Concourse when we are in Madison. The location is excellent, on the Square, with a beautiful view of the State Capitol outside your window. It is also an excellent location for any event in the Madison downtown, within walking distance of many venues. They have a dedicated staff of employees, all very knowledgeable and helpful, always friendly. The rooms are spacious and always impeccably clean. We generally stay on the floors designated as Governor’s Club, which offers included breakfast, evening snacks and drinks, and an evening dessert. Very nice pool/ exercise area also. As we are retired, we find the Concourse rates are an excellent value overall.

The accommodations were wonderful. The rooms were large and very clean and the bed was super comfy. The service at the front desk was outstanding. The young woman who checked us in was very pleasant and asked about our plans while we were visiting. When we told her where we were having supper, she gave us easy directions to walk to the restaurant which was helpful. It is worth noting that we stayed there the day before Valentine's Day and my husband had arranged to have flowers delivered to the hotel for me. He called the day before we arrived and the front desk staff made sure that the flowers were in the room when we got there. That's exceptional service. We did upgrade to the governor's club level, which in my opinion was worth it. We did not take the time to have the free breakfast, but we did have cocktails and the desserts that we saw looked pretty good. The bartender was very nice. I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the Madison area and we will definitely be back.

The Governor's Club is a Gem located in Madison WI. If you live in south-central WI this is a place you must visit. The hotel offers a warm and inviting atmosphere. The room was absolutely spotless with an incredibly comfortable mattress. We had a fabulous view of the State Capital building. The room felt very private with no sounds from adjacent rooms. Their friendly staff is always available to assist with making your stay memorable. The Governor's Club lounge amenities "Breakfast Buffet, Appetizers, cocktails, Dessert and coffee. Give it a try, I really think the Madison Concourse will exceed your expectations. Tip {Join the club}

The Concourse was the perfect location to stay when going to an event at the Overture Center. When easily making the reservation online, I mentioned we were celebrating my husband's 75th birthday. Well from that, the hotel staff made is special for him by first wishing him an early birthday greeting when we checked in, to finding a bath towel shaped into a cake and candle when we went to the room. Then when we returned later that night, we were further surprised to find a tray in our room with more birthday wishes, flowers and a strawberry platter in our room refrig. We woke to watching kites flying on Lake Mendota from our 10th floor room. Water pressure in the shower was very relaxing. Checkout was very easy. Next time we will plan more time to take advantage of hotel amenities and downtown activities. Highly recommend.

Great hotel, friendly staff, centrally located. Would stay there again in a minute.

Beautiful hotel! Staff were wonderful and very attentive. Room was clean, and the amenities were awesome. We paid the extra bit to stay in a Govenors Club room- totally worth it! Thats the way to stay.
We had a beautiful view of the Capital building as well.
10/10, highly recommend! We will be back!

The front desk was so friendly and helpful. When they found out it was my birthday, I received a free perk. The hotel is beautiful and close to the Capitol, State Street, the Overture, and so much more. I would highly recommend.

Went with my family for the 1st time for the New Years Eve Party. The employees were amazing, they treat us very well. We had a nice room with a great view which we were able to see fhe Capitol, also food, music and drinks were amazing. We totally recommend and we definitely como bsck.

We went to the Madison Concourse for their NYE gala. It was wonderful, with a great dinner of surf and turf, a funny comedian, and a choice of two bands or a DJ for the party. The room exceeded our expectations as well, and the staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. Actually, the best surprise was the New Years Day brunch which was amazing.

We have visited the governors club for about 10 years annually. It is a beautiful place to go with other couples, or alone with your spouse. The atmosphere from the lobby, to the restaurant, to the Club guest rooms and even just the hallways- is inviting and fun. We love the Governors Club Lounge because it is an all in one package for a night of cocktails and appetizers with top shelf liquors and wines with a beautiful view of the capital, and then just a few steps to your bed!! and then-breakfast in he Club Lounge the next morning! Occasionally, we will leave the Club Lounge, and walk around downtown Madison to other local bars and restaurants of which there are many amazing ones! If you go in the summer, they have a farmers market on the square which is so fun to walk around during the day for. This hotel offers a free shuttle around town for shopping or going to grab a drink at another bar for a bit- which was fantastic for our winter stay-no walking in the cold! The bartenders at The Club Lounge are always exceptional. The Governors Club rooms are beautiful and very comfortable. The hours of the Club Lounge are 4:30-10 (this is the time when all of your drinks are "complimentary." NO matter what you order!

It’s not a trip to Madison without a stay at the Concourse. Location is unmatched and the staff is amazing. Parking was easy, had great capital bites from our room, and the food was excellent. They are a wonderful independent hotel.

Always love my stay here. Incredible staff ftom arrival to departure. So close to so much around te capital. Would highly recommend!

Always an excellent stay at the Concourse Hotel. Staff is friendly, helpful, and their team (Michael, Mary, & Courtney) is wonderful!

Wife and I had wonderful stay. Central location allowed walking to awesome restaurants. Staff pleasant. Rooms nice/clean. Had access to Governor’s club amenities that put the really made the experience special. Weekday rate in December was great value for all the above reasons.

We stayed at the Madison Concourse Hotel during a Badger football weekend. Usually prices are jacked up for football weekends, but our stay was very reasonably priced! In fact, I booked the hotel three weeks out and still got a fantastic deal! There are only a handful of hotels located right downtown and the Madison Concourse is one of the better options! Located just steps from the Capital and State Street and a short walk to the Kohl center and Camp Randall, I would highly recommend the Madison Concourse hotel!

Loved the location, the Hotel is in walking distance of a lot of shopping, restaurants and other venues. We were pool side and could not hear any noise coming from the pool area. Rooms were very clean and spacious. we didn't eat at the restaurant in the hotel, but from what i saw the food looked really good, liked the Starbucks located there also. I was expecting to pay more for the room, especially pool side... comparable to the rest of the hotels in the area. Would definitely stay there again!!!

Good hotel right in the middle of downtown Madison.

They have comfortable clean, spacious rooms.

They have a restaurant and bar. I tried the bar; has drinks, sandwiches, and appetizers - which were pretty good. Handful of seats around the bar and handful of tables - and even plush chairs at one point.

Staff was friendly.

Check-in was quite slow; their computer system must take longer than other places I've stayed.

Bathroom wasn't ideal for me - couldn't see to go in - needs a night light or something - very dark; the main switch is almost behind the door when it is open. Besides that, everything was excellent.

We had the pleasure of staying at the Concourse Hotel on the evening of my husband's final day of work before retirement, and the staff made the occasion truly memorable. Waiting for us was a thoughtful surprise: a heartfelt card on the bed, a towel “cake” complete with a candle, and a delightful treat of prosecco with chocolate-dipped strawberries. It was unexpected and incredibly touching. Although the hotel is older, our room had been beautifully refurbished. We've stayed there many times over the years and have always enjoyed our visits—the location and amenities are unbeatable. We’ll definitely continue choosing the Concourse for our little getaways in the future.

Absolute wonderful anniversary weekend! Truly enjoyed the Governor’s Club amenities. Highly recommend this hotel as it is within walking distance to the Capitol, many restaurants and the Overture Center.

My friends and I booked a girls' trip to the Concourse so we could hang out and play board games in the Governor's Club and just enjoy a night spent together. Our room had a gorgeous view of Lake Mendota, every single person working there that we interacted with was extremely friendly and helpful, and the food & drink provided in the Governor's Club was top-notch (as was the view of the Capitol!). If the food hadn't been so good we could've walked right out the door of the hotel and been within five minutes of dozens of excellent restaurants and bars. I literally cannot recommend the Concourse Hotel enough, and I can't wait to book another stay!
