The Marc Hotel Officially Opens its Doors in Downtown Milwaukee

The new 175-room independent hotel from Marcus Hotels & Resorts offers direct connectivity to the Baird Center

MILWAUKEE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Marcus^® Hotels & Resorts, a nationally recognized hotel owner and management company and division of Marcus Corporation (NYSE: MCS), today announced the opening of The Marc Hotel, an independent 175-room hotel in downtown Milwaukee. Centrally located in the heart of the city, The Marc Hotel is connected to the Baird Center via a climate-controlled skywalk and located just steps from the city’s premier corporate offices, sports and entertainment venues, vibrant dining destinations, and nearby Marquette University.

“Driven by Marcus Hotels & Resorts longstanding commitment to excellence, The Marc Hotel’s prime location, well-appointed rooms, convenient workspaces, and adjacent restaurants and amenities will offer convention and other guests the comfort and convenience they crave,” said Michael Evans, president of Marcus Hotels & Resorts. “This is one of the busiest and most vibrant areas of the city, and we are pleased to offer our guests yet another compelling option to make the most out of their stay in Milwaukee.”

The hotel features 175 guest rooms and suites and a connected, covered parking garage structure, as well as seamless access to the neighboring Hilton Milwaukee’s dining experiences and more than 34,000 square feet of meeting and event space.

Standard rooms and suites include high-thread-count linens, ample lighting, a large workstation, complimentary Wi-Fi as well as a mini refrigerator and coffee maker. Bathrooms feature marble countertops and mirrors with built-in lighting.

The Marc Hotel takes over the former west wing of Hilton Milwaukee. Its name is a nod to Marcus Corporation’s history. In 1972, the former Schroeder Hotel was purchased by the company and renamed the Marc Plaza Hotel. Though it received a new name in 1995 under the Hilton flag, the Marc legacy returns 30 years later as the west wing reopens as The Marc Hotel.

To celebrate the hotel’s grand opening, until the end of February guests can enjoy 20% off a stay by booking this special opening offer here. To learn more about The Marc Hotel, please visit www.marchotelmilwaukee.com.
