WAUWATOSA, Wis. (August 2020) – Providing a new, luxurious destination in Milwaukee’s metropolitan area, Renaissance Milwaukee West, 2300 N. Mayfair Rd., Wauwatosa, announces it has officially opened to the public, inspiring community confidence that the hospitality industry is making a return. Nestled in the heart of Milwaukee’s western neighbor, just minutes from downtown, Renaissance Milwaukee West serves as a unique hub for both travelers and locals, alike, within convenient proximity to businesses including Milwaukee County Research Park, Medical College of Wisconsin and several other large and small corporations. Guests staying at the hotel also have easy access to experiences and entertainment at Miller Park, Wauwatosa Village, Milwaukee County Zoo, Wisconsin Expo Center, Historic Third Ward, Fiserv Forum and more. The property is managed by Concord Hospitality Enterprises.
“We are honored to open the first Renaissance hotel in the state of Wisconsin to serve our local community members and visitors to Wauwatosa and the Milwaukee area,” said Vik Khokhar, General Manager, Renaissance Milwaukee West Hotel. “It’s a symbol of pride and optimism in these unprecedented times. Travel is an essential part of our lives to discover something new. We look forward to providing a clean, safe, and stylish environment, from the moment of arrival to departure, for our guests.”
Designed by hospitality design firm Simeone Deary Design Group, the Renaissance Milwaukee West’s distinctive style is elevated, timeless, and sophisticated, while creating an unexpected sense of discovery for guests, bringing downtown Milwaukee’s culture to its bustling western neighbor of Wauwatosa. Celebrating the hotel’s proximity to the local shopping district, the space was designed with fashion in mind, creating a Tailor and Seamstress concept — an admiring nod to the dedication and passion of the trades and the contrast between masculine and feminine. Expressing the unique qualities of their craftsmanship and tradition, the tailor influences the masculine forms of the hotel’s architecture while the seamstress brings in beautiful feminine design details. The two sides embody the idea of reflecting on the past while coming together to create a dynamic future.
Visual lines throughout the Renaissance Milwaukee West emphasize the art of garment construction, while the stitching and weaving of textiles inform the fabrics. Furniture within the hotel is expressive yet functional and classically styled with a twist, such as guest room pieces inspired by a sewing bench and spools of fabric. The color palette is neutral on the architectural shell while embracing unexpected accents throughout, while the decorative lighting focuses on the tools of the trade including fabric construction, button details, and hangers – turning simple crafts into art.
