Hotel at a Glance: Hotel Metro MilwaukeeLocated in the heart of Downtown Milwaukee, Hotel Metro got its start over 80 years ago, housing shops and offices in the heart of a thriving retail area. The building was originally designed in the popular art deco–style of that time, complete with high ceilings and curved walls. Its current owners took over the building in 1996.

All aspects of the hotel, from the light fixtures and furniture to the design of the carpet were handpicked by Madame Kuony to evoke a certain atmosphere and feeling. Spacious guest rooms, ranging from 550 to 720 square feet, are decked out with large bathrooms that include soaking or whirlpool tubs.
