The Spotlight on Drury Plaza Hotel Milwaukee Downtown

Stay in the Heart of Milwaukee’s Music Scene


Modern comfort meets Midwest charm at the Drury Plaza Hotel Milwaukee Downtown. Set in a historic building just over a mile from Marquette University, this 3-star hotel brings you close to Milwaukee’s vibrant downtown—perfect for catching a show without straying far from your room. With clean, contemporary rooms, friendly service, and perks like free WiFi and a rooftop pool, it’s a smart, stylish base for any music-filled getaway.

Why Concert-goers love it

Steps from major venues like Pabst Theater, Riverside Theater, and the Marcus Center, this hotel is an easy walk or quick rideshare away after the encore. Despite its central location, guests often mention how quiet and restful the rooms are—ideal for post-show recovery. The 24-hour front desk adds flexibility for late arrivals, and the hotel’s downtown spot makes getting around late at night a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a lively weekend close to the action
  • Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime concert
  • Couples turning a show into a romantic getaway
  • Fans who want somewhere quiet and comfortable to crash
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want great extras

Food and Drink Options

Fuel up pre-show or recover post-show with a buffet breakfast offered daily—even after a late night. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the hotel features an on-site restaurant and bar. Plus, vending machines are available anytime for midnight cravings. With downtown Milwaukee all around, you’re also within walking distance of plenty of local eats and late-night bites.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself keeps things mellow, you’re just blocks from some of Milwaukee’s best live music bars and lounges. Whether you’re after a craft cocktail or a divey after-party, you won’t have to go far. The hotel bar is a solid option for a nightcap in a relaxed setting.

What People Say

Reviews often highlight the superb downtown location, clean and spacious rooms, and friendly, helpful staff. Guests love the rooftop pool and hot tub, especially after hours on their feet. Many also appreciate the value for money, especially with amenities like breakfast and WiFi included.

Areas for Improvement

While the hotel excels in comfort and location, parking isn’t free—and some guests mention it can be a bit pricey. Also, those looking for an ultra-trendy vibe may find the decor more classic than cutting-edge. Still, it’s a solid pick for convenience and comfort.

The Bottom Line

If you’re coming to Milwaukee for the music, Drury Plaza Hotel Milwaukee Downtown hits the right notes with its location, comfort, and concert-night convenience.

Disappointed,Disgusted, and very unaware! Meaning...

Liked: Convenient, clean , hottub(BONUS)!
Disliked: To be honest and fair I have a very sensitive issue with housekeeping. 1 being my room was gone into and cleaned without permission. AND with a do not disturb sign on door ! I let it slide! Then I checked out on a Monday at exactly 11 a.m. but before doing so I had been in the gym prior to leaving. I left the gym on bottom floor and proceeded to make my way to my room on the 10th floor time being 10:30 . I now enter my room and take a shower before leaving. Before I do so I take my wedding band off. This was a white gold black diamond ring. I specifically remember taking the ring off cuz my fingers swell up over night being in construction 28 years. I slept with it on and it was cutting off circulation.. Long story short I took shower got out and gathered all my belongings. Room was a disaster as 11 pm. Checkout was approaching fast. Got everyone and everything together and exited the room. WELL my ring still on the ledge of bathroom sink. I checkout and now on my 4 hour journey home. I got about an hour out from hotel and realized I had a naked finger. I proceed to call the hotel ASAP! I was told I was gonna get a call back the following morning by the head housekeeper named Christian. That never happened. I called late morning and was told a second time I was gonna get a call back that had housekeeper was nowhere to be found and we will have somebody call you. Later that day I called and demanded to know what was going on and that I absolutely knew the ring was there. They said they had checked with whomever cleaned the room and looked the room up and down plus there safe/checked notes and found nothing! At this point, I am very upset and disappointed, knowing there is a thief among that hotel. It’s very uncomfortable to know that you can’t trust or be safe anywhere these days nor trust in whom you employee.

Liked: My daughter and I stayed after seeing Wicked. It was the perfect location. Having the dinner buffet and breakfast were wonderful surprises! The staff who checked us in was friendly, welcoming and warm. I told him I was Elphaba, and he shared about acting in high school. It was lovely.
Disliked: everything met or exceeded my expectations
