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.

Wonderful stay

Liked: The front desk gentleman, Glenn, was so kind and friendly. The hotel is nicely situated, within walking distance of the Public Market, riverwalk; few minutes' drive to the museum. Very clean room and spacious bathroom. The included breakfast and afternoon snacks were appreciated by weary travelers!
