Westin Hotels & Resorts, part of Marriott International, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAR) today announced the opening of The Westin Milwaukee, the brand's debut in Wisconsin. Owned by an affiliate of Jackson Street Holdings LLC and managed by White Lodging Services Corporation, The Westin Milwaukee is poised to be both a gateway to and a respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. Perfectly situated in the heart of downtown Milwaukee and steps away from the waterfront at the end of Michigan Street, The Westin Milwaukee features 220 thoughtfully-designed guestrooms and suites – almost half boasting unparalleled views of Lake Michigan. The hotel's design draws inspiration from the Native American meaning of Milwaukee: a gathering place by the water, with a biophilic-focus suggesting that a connection to nature enhances well-being. The hotel's exterior features metal, granite and terracotta; while colors found in nature informed the palette and patterns that add textural layers to the interior design. Natural light floods the hotel's lobby, restaurant and guestrooms, while offering dramatic views of the city.
