Welcome to The Plaza Hotel, a classic European boutique hotel located on Milwaukee's historic lower east side. Brimming with character, our Art Deco walk-up hotel promises both eclectic charm and neighborhood friendliness. Steps away from Milwaukee's lakefront and close to everything downtown has to offer, we're flattered to be a favorite of locals and a secret among travelers.

Come discover why The Plaza is a Milwaukee gem. For the continued health and safety of our patrons, hotel guests and staff, we strongly recommend the use of masks until further notice. We're continuing to roll out our services for both the hotel and cafe, and appreciate your continued support.
