Hilton Hotel, Milwaukee

The Hilton Milwaukee City Center, formerly the Schroeder Hotel, Sheraton Schroeder Hotel, Marc Plaza Hotel and Milwaukee Hilton, began as the dream of Milwaukee's hotel and insurance magnate, Walter Schroeder (1878-1967).

When originally completed in 1928, the hotel had 811 guest rooms. The property was constructed as Wisconsin's tallest and biggest hotel, towering 265 feet over the city of Milwaukee.

The Schroeder Hotel was designed by one of America's most successful and innovative architectural firms, Holabird and Roche. The property features Art Deco styling, a cavernous marble lobby and elegant ballroom.

The exterior of the building's first five floors is faced with limestone and contains Art Deco carvings and lush floral designs. A bronze plaque on the Wisconsin Avenue side of the building reminds guests and passers by that the property was once the site of a Potowatomi Indian village at the foot of a steep bluff.

On April 21, 1995, the property became a franchise of the Hilton Hotels Corporation and became the Milwaukee Hilton. In 1998, the hotel was renamed the Hilton Milwaukee City Center. Today guests will benefit from the luxury chain's worldwide sales force, reservation system and frequent stay programs. In addition, as Milwaukee's convention headquarters hotel of choice, the Hilton has added 250 guest rooms and a skywalk, which will link the hotel to the Midwest Airlines Center, Milwaukee's largest convention facility. Today, the Hilton Milwaukee City Center stands as a proud monument to Milwaukee's ever-changing skyline, welcoming visitors just as it did back in 1928.
