Cambria Hotel Milwaukee Downtown — Photo by Choice

Cambria Hotels, an upscale brand franchised by Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH), debuts in Milwaukee today, marking the brand's first location in the city and the third in the Badger State. The four-story, 132-room Cambria Hotel Milwaukee Downtown is among seven new Cambria locations — including another Midwest location, the Cambria Hotel Bettendorf - Quad Cities — expected to open this summer in top-tier markets across the country, together representing over 1,200 upscale rooms.

Located at 503 N. Plankinton Ave., the Cambria Hotel Milwaukee Downtown provides easy access to the region's top business and entertainment destinations, including the Wisconsin Center convention complex, the Harley-Davidson Museum and Fiserv Forum arena. The hotel opens amid a $5 billion development surge in the Milwaukee area, and is situated a short drive from Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport and near major national and regional corporations, including Harley Davidson, Johnson Controls, GE Health, and MillerCoors, a Molson Coors company. Steps from the hotel is Milwaukee Intermodal Station, the city's major rail and bus transportation hub — among the busiest Amtrak stations in the Midwest.

The new-construction Cambria Milwaukee Downtown features upscale amenities that appeal to modern guests, including:

  • Design elements that reflect the regional flora surrounding the city, its freshwater history and the area's wooded parks
  • A full-service gourmet bar and restaurant, complete with regional cuisine, small bites, local craft beers and custom cocktails
  • Multi-function meeting space for approximately 100 people
  • Contemporary and sophisticated guest rooms, complete with modern fixtures, abundant lighting and plush bedding
