A city once synonymous with beer brewing, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is one of the greatest cultural treasures in the Midwest. With Lake Michigan to the east and the Menomonee River flowing through the city, visitors are treated to a less-hectic version of Chicago, complete with riverwalk and museums. Milwaukee also has 14 golf courses within the city limits, each less than 17 miles from the city center.
Hilton Milwaukee City Center
Located downtown near the river, the Hilton Milwaukee City Center offers guests access to not only a Jacuzzi, but an indoor waterpark complete with pools and slides. Every room comes with high-speed Internet access, weekday newspapers and cable TV. Suites with in-room Jacuzzis are available, and all guests have access to an on-site fitness center. A steakhouse, pub, and two cafes sit on the property, and The Lake Park Golf Course is just over four miles north of the hotel.
