Our downtown Milwaukee guesthouse places guests in the center of the city’s action. If you like life in the fast lane and enjoy the sounds of the city all around you, then our downtown guesthouse is perfect for you. But of course, it isn’t just about what’s outside our doors. Inside, you’ll find 31 well-appointed rooms, our signature fully furnished chef’s kitchens on each floor, a dramatic rooftop event space with more intimate meeting spaces on all floors, and a perfectly placed speak-easy/entertainment room in the lower level. Kinn Guesthouse Downtown Milwaukee is perfect for casual or business travelers alike, with curated spaces that are a fusion of modern hotel luxury and the creature comforts of home, all under one roof.
Our 31-room guesthouse is the first of its kind in Downtown Milwaukee. If you’re not familiar with our concept, guests describe us as the ideal hybrid between a micro boutique hotel and a more residential style rental. See for yourself.
