At first glance the dramatic appearance of the Iron Horse Hotel, in Milwaukee’s happenin’ Fifth Ward nabe and just a short walk from the world’s only Harley-Davidson Museum, makes you think it’s going to be too-cool-for-school, but it manages to stop just short and surprise you by being all about warm, friendly hospitality and cozy comfort. This uber-trendy, loft-styled boutique hotel manages to pull off an industrial chic, bad-boy biker vibe (complete with iron chandeliers fashioned from motorcycle gears, 300-year-old pine ceiling beams, exposed brick walls, boxing bags in the fitness center, and massive iron hooks in the room for hanging up heavy bike leathers) while getting in touch with its feminine side. Luxe-loving ladies will appreciate the sophisticated neutral palette, marshmallow pillow top king-sized beds, floor-length velvet drapes and the oversized bathrooms complete with a whirlpool or gargantuan rain shower built for two.
The edgy lobby is appointed with an eclectic collection of memorabilia such as library chairs from the Bank of London, a 100-year-old billiards table, and another work by Dwyer, the "Americana Flag," which was created from over 30 pairs of jeans.
Bonus points for the
-bedroom sepia-toned wall murals of seductively posed local women, painted by Wisconsin artist Chuck Dwyer, to dispel the myth that women from the mid-west aren’t as attractive as women on either coast.
-fun-filled, tasty, Route 66-inspired brunch, which features signature dishes from fabled truck stops along the nostalgic highway
