Milwaukee's bull's eye, the view from the Hyatt Regency's revolving restaurant on the 18th floor is as stunning as it gets. From the ground, get dizzy gazing up 18 floors through the open atrium.

Every old town holds an iconic hotel that reveals a bit about the city's past. For Milwaukee, it's the Pfister, built for luxurious longevity in 1893.

All this legacy, service, and sumptuousness does not come cheap, but transcending time is worth the price.

By the river in Milwaukee's theatre district, near City Hall and the majestic Milwaukee River, the InterContinental Milwaukee's sleek lobby is a picture of Italian elegance with smooth marble, gold trim and sparkling crystal.
