What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
the oversized soaking tubs in the King Spa rooms are a touch ostentatious, but in the best possible way.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Milwaukee Public Market sits two blocks north, and Catalano Square is a four-minute walk toward Lake Michigan.
The rooms
King Spa rooms come with deep freestanding soaking tubs. Work desks are cut from live-edge timber on steel bases.
The gym
The second-floor fitness centre looks over the neighborhood through large windows, stocked with Precor cardio machines and free weights.
Restaurant
The Outsider
Retractable glass walls open the cocktail bar onto a covered pergola. Guests play shuffleboard against the downtown skyline.
At the table
Tre Rivali serves Mediterranean dishes from a wood-fired grill, set beside patterned tile floors and exposed brick.
How it began
The name comes from journeymen, the skilled craftsmen who traveled between workshops to master their trade.
