Saint Kate – The Arts Hotel Named One of the Best in the U.S. by TripAdvisor’s 2025 Travelers’ Choice Awards

Ranked #15 in the Nation in the “Best of the Best” Hotels Category

Milwaukee, WI — Saint Kate – The Arts Hotel announced recently that it is ranked #15 in the U.S. by TripAdvisor’s 2025 Traveler’s Choice Awards in the “Best of the Best” Hotels category – a list that celebrates the top 1% out of its 8 million worldwide listings based on traveler reviews and ratings.

This recognition places Saint Kate among an elite group of hotels across the country and further cements its reputation as a destination that goes far beyond the expected. Travelers gave top reviews for its lobby lounge, live music, and dining options.

“We’re thrilled to be named one of the top hotels in the country,” says Dana Johnson, General Manager of Saint Kate – The Arts Hotel. “This honor is especially meaningful because it comes directly from our guests. Their experiences and feedback drive everything we do. We have always said that Saint Kate is more than a hotel. It’s a living, breathing celebration of creativity, and we’re so proud to see that resonate on a national level.”

Located in the heart of downtown Milwaukee, Saint Kate – The Arts Hotel, owned and managed by Marcus Hotels & Resorts, is widely regarded among Milwaukee’s most engaging and creatively charged hotels, and is one of the first in the nation to celebrate all forms of artistic expression — from painting and sculpture to live musical performances. TripAdvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best Award joins the hotel’s stable of awards received since its opening in 2019, where the property has been recognized with such top accolades as:

  • Condé Nast Readers’ Choice Award – #6 Best Midwest Hotel
  • U.S. News & World Report – #2 Best in Milwaukee
  • USA Today – 10 Best New Hotels of 2019 – the only Midwest hotel to make the list

TripAdvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best Awards are based on the quality and quantity of traveler reviews and ratings posted over a 12-month period. To be named in the top 25 is no small feat, and Saint Kate’s spot at #15 is a testament to its dedication to exceptional service, atmosphere, and one-of-a-kind guest experiences.
