History
The hotel opened in 1928 as the Schroeder Hotel. It was owned by hotel magnate Walter Schroeder and designed by Holabird & Roche.[1] Its exterior is in the simplified neo-classical style, while its interiors are Art Deco, with extensive use of hardwoods and intricate decorative metal detailing.[2] It has a height of Шаблон:Convert, with an antenna extending its total height to 187 meters. The building has 25 floors and 729 rooms.
The Schroeder was sold to Sheraton Hotels in 1966 and renamed the Sheraton-Schroeder Hotel. Sheraton sold the hotel in 1973 to local businessman Ben Marcus, who renamed it the Marc Plaza Hotel.[3] In 1995, the Marcus Corporation brought in Hilton Hotels to manage the property, and it was renamed the Hilton Milwaukee City Center. A 13-floor addition, designed by Kaler Slater Architects and built by Mortenson, was constructed in 2000.[4]
It was planned to serve as the headquarters hotel for the 2020 Democratic National Convention,[5] before the COVID-19 pandemic forced a temporary closure, along with major changes to the DNC to a remote format.[6]
In March 2020, the hotel closed due to COVID-19 pandemic.[7] In June 2020, Marc Corporation permanently laid off 79 workers at the Hilton Milwaukee City Center[8]
Hilton Milwaukee City Center is a member of Historic Hotels of America, an official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.[9]
