Holiday Tour of the Hilton City Center

The Hilton Milwaukee City Center, formerly the Schroeder Hotel and the Marc Plaza Hotel, opened in 1928 as the largest hotel in Wisconsin. This was the last of the hotels built in Milwaukee before the Great Depression. Today it stands as one of the finest examples of Art Deco design in the area. We will look at the Art Deco features, discuss the remodeling and changes over the years and learn the history of this exquisite building that has been part of Milwaukee’s landscape for almost 100 years. We will also enjoy the beauty of its holiday atmosphere. Accessible. There are elevators, but using the stairs showcases more features of the hotel.
