Property Description
The Ambassador Hotel has been a fixture on the west side of downtown Milwaukee for nearly eighty years. Designed in 1927, the structure boasted many of the hallmarks of Art Deco design. Its gleaming marble floors, stylized sconces, bronze elevator doors and ornate plasterwork made the hotel a favorite spot for society gatherings. Purchased in 1995 by an alumnus of nearby Marquette University, a restoration over the next decade revamped the hotel. Rooms were reconfigured to allow for more spacious accommodations and gleaming new bathrooms were installed. Dropped ceilings and drywall were removed to reveal the intricate details and archways, along with vintage radios. The Ambassador Hotel's ambitious effort has served as a cornerstone in the rebirth of the surrounding neighborhood and its bold rooftop sign once again beckons guests to enjoy a true Milwaukee legend.
