About the Edgewater Hotel

Written by .View 's Blog.

Located on the Isthmus, in the heart of the downtown area, the Edgewater Hotel is a long-standing and popular Madison tradition. Overlooking Lake Mendota this older, classic hotel sits just blocks from the State Capitol Building and within walking distance of the University of Wisconsin campus, Overture Hall, and numerous restaurants, museums, and shopping. The Edgewater’s elegant Admiralty Room restaurant, the Cove Lounge with live music, and The Pier (seasonal outdoor seating at lake’s edge) are dining options the locals regularly frequent. The hotel offers fun “Getaway” packages with extra amenities like champagne with the “Sweetheart’s Escape.”

Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?

The Edgewater is an older, classic, but popular hotel in the heart of downtown Madison. It’s nearness to the university’s fraternities and student housing means that the neighborhood can get noisy at time, particularly during football weekends. For a quieter stay, request a room in the newer, lakeside section rather than in the older part of the hotel. Read our customer reviews?
