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.
Rooms with Charm, Stays with Story
No two stays at The Plaza feel exactly the same. Choose from a variety of room styles, ideal for a quick overnight, a long weekend, or an extended stay. Our historic building is home to newly refreshed rooms tucked within four unique corridors, along with classic walk-up accommodations. Planning ahead? Let us know if you’d prefer a ground-floor room or a hand with luggage. We’re happy to make your stay as seamless as possible.


A Local Gem, Right Downstairs
Café at The Plaza is a true Milwaukee favorite – and for good reason. Start your morning at the counter, linger over brunch in a booth, or take things outside to our ivy-covered courtyard. The menu is filled with comforting classics and local favorites, but if there’s one thing you shouldn’t skip, it’s our famous lemon poppy seed pancakes.
